Match made in heaven
On cloud nine with ver.di
Our worker hearts flew straight to cloud nine when ver.di asked us to design and build the website for ver.di airport. Since 2001 the German trade union has been standing up for workers and their rights – and since 2019, for all airport workers and passengers too. The site covers strikes, contract negotiations, and the latest developments across every German airport. To get ver.di properly airborne, the outdated site needed a fresh design, a move to a modern CMS, and a full relaunch. Knorke didn't crash-land – we stuck the landing. In under 8 months, too. Considerably faster than the BER. Just saying.
Whether on land, in the air, or on the web
Knorke clears the view
The relaunch of ver.di airport was all about usability, responsiveness, and a look that actually feels current. We worked with modern elements and section dividers across the different page designs. A better structure makes the sheer volume of content readable and easy to navigate. The latest news from the airport world is now presented clearly and quick to grasp. Colour accents do double duty – distinguishing individual airports and giving the site a recognisable identity.
Content management and migration in WordPress
When development flies by
Ver.di airport is home to a lot of content covering all the major German airports. To help users find their way, we built a responsive, well-structured frontend. On the backend, templates and archives make it easy to maintain and edit content for each individual location. Before any of that, though, we had to migrate thousands of pages out of the old CMS using a custom-built script. The blog posts now work as their own landing pages – and look so good we nearly lost our heads with pride. Nearly. We stay grounded. Solid websites beat taking off any day.
