Das Blau

Accessible Web Design

The website of the leisure pool "das blau" was completely reimagined both technically and in terms of content to meet modern requirements for accessibility and user-friendliness. Content that was previously spread across multiple pages has been consolidated, and navigation was simplified to allow visitors to quickly and intuitively access relevant information such as opening hours, prices, or course offerings with just a few clicks.

On the technical side, the website was developed according to the guidelines of the WCAG 2.1 standards. This includes semantically correct HTML structures for smooth use with assistive technologies, high color contrasts for better readability, and navigation that is fully keyboard-accessible. Interactivity has been optimized to ensure that buttons and links are clearly identifiable and easily accessible—regardless of the device being used.

The underlying UX design achieves a harmonious balance between functionality and visual aesthetics. A clear visual hierarchy guides users intuitively through the site, while the deliberate choice of colors and clean typography creates a modern and welcoming atmosphere. Responsive design and performance optimizations ensure fast loading times and seamless usability across all devices—from desktops to smartphones.

This new digital presence not only reflects the openness and service ethos of the leisure pool but also guarantees all visitors an accessible, enjoyable, and modern user experience.

Web Development with TYPO3

For this project, we relied on the powerful TYPO3 CMS, known for its flexibility and user-friendliness. To make content management as easy as possible for the pool's team, specially developed content elements were integrated. These allow content to be created and edited quickly and error-free, without requiring in-depth technical knowledge.

The system was built to be stable, scalable, and future-proof. Load times were optimized, and the website was designed to function smoothly even under high visitor numbers. Thanks to the modular architecture of TYPO3, the platform remains flexible for future adjustments or extensions, such as additional features or new content.
