How did that work? The specialty was that a new system with responsive templates with a modern look and feel was set up parallel to the existing "old system". As part of a so-called “modular relaunch”, the divided information architecture was gradually “switched” along appropriate sections. The complex path handling was implemented using varnish. To ensure that the search is always complete, a common Solr search index was generated from both systems. The relaunch has improved and optimized the existing concept with regard to the benefits for the target group. The website was then up-to-date and adapted to the current state of the art. This was done quietly during daily business. ![](https://typo3.com/fileadmin/_processed_/a/0/csm_AdobeStock_375099352-min_939ae1e9e2.webp) A wide-ranging online portal ------------------------------ The [Federal Environment Ministry](https://www.bmu.de/) has around 3,000 search engine optimized pages in German and English. This includes an ordering system for brochures, picture, video and audio galleries, a newsletter system and more. The site also provides live streams and the latest press releases and reports from the ministry. The federal government is obliged to offer its websites barrier-free. In addition to the commissioned agency CPS-IT, the employees at the BMU also work in the backend on a daily basis. ![](https://typo3.com/fileadmin/_processed_/a/a/csm_AdobeStock_267763955-min_15e87296d2.webp) Modern websites for every need -------------------------------- With the help of coordinated modules, all standard pages, but also landing pages and campaigns, can be created and managed in a single TYPO3 system using the “modular principle”. All extensions have been specially programmed for the requirements of the BMU. With the help of the user administration, 36 users, employees of the BMU and the commissioned agency CPS-IT, work in the system. With a few exceptions, this website is fully accessible. In order to uncover possible restrictions in the published information, integrated content, functions and processes, the website is regularly checked by external experts.
