Deutscher Skiverbang (German Skiing Association)
Deutscher Skiverbang (German Skiing Association)
Client Background:
The website for the German Skiing Association (DSV) is a communication hub for many different target groups. Fans, athletes, the press, event organization staff all have their special demands, that need to be covered by one website. A reason an definite deadline for the re-launch was the World Skiing Championship in Garmisch Partenkirchen in 2010.
My part:
As the colleague who made the fine concept for this website was withdrawn to other duties, I had the honor to supervise the websites realization. In this role I defined a lot of the details and extended the concept to the ever growing demands of the customers. The more challenging features from a concept designers point are:
• Connection to three different databases for the display of racing calender and results. All databases had a different model and and hourly refreshing data.
• Daily updated news system.
• Fully integrated newsletter-system.
• Mediacenter.
