VKU / Strategic Website Redesign

NOTE: the project is still in development

As a consulting Digital Product Designer for VKU (Verband kommunaler Unternehmen e.V.), the German Association of Local Public Utilities, I led a strategic website redesign project aimed at enhancing user experience and achieving key business objectives.

This ongoing project focuses on improving the digital presence of an organization that serves as a crucial link between communal companies and their stakeholders.

Key Contributions:

  • Strategic Business Alignment: Developed targeted strategies to improve business goals, particularly focusing on streamlining the process of purchasing conference tickets for both long-time users and potential new customers.
  • Information Architecture Overhaul: Completely restructured the website's information architecture to enhance navigation and improve overall user flow, making it easier for visitors to find relevant information and services.
  • User Experience Enhancement: Redesigned key pages with a focus on user experience, balancing the needs of experienced users familiar with the old system and new visitors exploring VKU's services for the first time.
  • Design Within Constraints: Successfully modernized the design while working within the constraints of existing Visual Guidelines, demonstrating adaptability and creativity in bridging established brand identity with contemporary design principles.
  • Stakeholder Management: Collaborated closely with various departments within VKU to ensure the redesign met the diverse needs of the organization and its members, facilitating buy-in across the association.

This project showcases my ability to tackle complex redesign challenges for established organizations. By focusing on user needs while respecting existing brand guidelines, I'm contributing to creating a more efficient, user-friendly digital platform that supports VKU's mission of representing and supporting local public utilities in Germany.

The ongoing nature of this project allows for continuous refinement and adaptation, ensuring that the website evolves with the changing needs of VKU and its stakeholders.
