Deutscher Ethikrat A new relaunch for the Ethics Council

The German Ethics Council deals with ethical, social, scientific, medical and legal issues that have consequences for society and individuals and are related to research and the life sciences. The Council is an independent body whose activities are bound by the provisions of the law. After many years of support and a joint relaunch in 2018, the German Ethics Council has commissioned wegewerk for the TYPO3 relaunch in 2024.

A complete overhaul

In addition to updating to a new TYPO3 version, the main focus was on developing a web shop and optimising the integration of existing systems. Over a period of eleven months, wegewerk completely revamped the Ethics Council's website. We retained the existing colours of the corporate design and redeveloped the web design on the given basis. In doing so, we added headers and bars to the home page and redesigned the page layout. This provides a quick overview of current information and quick access to selected news items. The clear page layout now guides visitors even faster to what they are looking for.

Newly created interfaces

The German Ethics Council offers its wide range of publications and releases for download and free order. We have simplified both options with the renewal of the shopping basket function by combining them. Both options are available when you open the respective files. Those who prefer to place an order can fill out the order form, and thanks to interfaces to the shop, the data is transmitted directly to the distribution system.

Interfaces to the GroupWise CRM system have also been added, making it even easier to send out the ‘Infoverteiler’ newsletter. The registration process offers subscribers a selection of topics, including the option to subscribe to publications from the German Ethics Council.

The Ethics Council's new website is much more than just a modern facelift; with its additional interfaces, it offers visitors a comprehensive range of information.
