A new website for the pioneer in precast concrete elements

Digitalization is firmly anchored in Oberndorfer's philosophy. The company has numerous data sheets that previously had to be designed, typeset, and uploaded to the website as PDFs to be available for customers to download. With the new website, this highly error-prone, labor-intensive manual process is fully digitalized.

All the information from the data sheets was captured in a database, from which the type sheets are rendered natively on the website and can also be downloaded as a PDF with one click. A PDF generator assembles a data sheet in the familiar Oberndorfer layout from the current content of the website, which interested visitors can download.

Future changes now only need to be made in one place on the website. This saves everyone involved the considerable effort of design, PDF creation, and upload, and significantly reduces the error rate, even across different versions in multiple languages.

Oberndorfer places particular value on its own employees and on people who want to work at Oberndorfer. To give this topic the relevance it deserves on the website as well, we developed a career section that functions as an independent yet fully integrated area of the website. The career portal is maintained via the content management system, and applicants can apply for a job quickly and easily using a multi-step form.

The main focus is on making the form intuitive and quick to fill in, so that applicants never feel like they have to work their way through a monster of a form, while Oberndorfer's recruiting team receives complete information at the same time.

Naturally, there is also a dedicated section for everyone interested in an apprenticeship at Oberndorfer. Success stories of current Oberndorfer employees show that “career through apprenticeship” at Oberndorfer is not just a slogan but lived reality.

Nowadays, many rely on ready-made templates and frameworks when developing websites, which usually also handle the display on mobile devices automatically. Unfortunately, the mobile versions of many websites look like it, too. We consistently take a different path here and treat the mobile versions of our websites — or rather, precisely because of this — just as intensively as the individual designs of the desktop versions.

Elements wider than the screen, squeezed text blocks, or any of the other issues we all know from mobile versions simply don't exist here. Page by page, everything is optimized for all screen sizes until a perfect result is achieved – giving visitors to the mobile versions of our websites just as great a user experience as on large screens.
