Frischer Internetauftritt für WDR 4
"Besonderes Augenmerk haben wir auf die gesetzlichen Vorgaben zur Barrierefreiheit gelegt", erklärt Mario Schmidt, Projektleiter bei der WDR mediagroup digital. Das hatte zur Folge, dass nicht alle Designvorgaben eins zu eins umgesetzt konnten. Vor allem bei den Farbwerten mussten Korrekturen vorgenommen werden, um die Barrierefreiheit zu gewährleisten. Auch Wünsche der WDR 4-Redaktion waren zu berücksichtigen. "Am Ende aber ist der Umstieg reibungslos verlaufen. Die Nutzer von wdr4.de haben nun Zugang zu einer attraktiven, neugestalteten Internetseite", so Schmidts Fazit.
CMS-Umzug folgt
Bei der Umstellung von wdr4.de wurde die vorhandene Seitenaufteilung sowie das bestehende Content Management System OTTI beibehalten. Mittelfristig ist aber auch hier der Wechsel auf das neue CMS Sophora geplant, unter dem bereits wdr.de, wdr2.de, wdr3.de sowie sportschau.de betrieben werden.
