The Digital Business University, a private university in the heart of Berlin, needed an appropriate online presence for its foundation and licensing. The challenge of this project was to create a website based on WordPress, as requested by the customer, that would allow a degree of flexibility unusual even for this content management system, while at the same time achieving a result in terms of speed and robustness that would do justice to the customer's digital self-image. This required extensive customisation of the backend interface on the one hand and a dedicated data storage and retrieval strategy on the other.

Furthermore, the fluid nature of a young university necessitated code management that anticipates future, far-reaching changes and establishes the necessary flexibility and modularity from the outset.
