Case Study: Hörzu - Impression #1

Case Study: Digital TV Magazine Provider Relaunches Its Portal with New Design and Features

Hörzu is a pioneer of TV program guides. Today, the magazine offers not only an overview of TV programming, but also general topics and background information.

There was a complete relaunch of hoerzu. The goal was a completely responsive web design that runs under one domain and not - as before - there was a distinction between mobile domain m.hoerzu and desktop domain hoerzu.de. In addition, there were optimizations regarding performance, playout and content maintenance.

Challenge

Complex requirements - maximum performance and still lean design

The website hoerzu.de was to be completely responsive and quickly accessible via a single domain. To increase the time spent on the site and the number of clicks, the content also had to be presented in a clear and user-friendly way. In this context, the requirements also included optimizing and facilitating content maintenance, developing a new EPG and responsive ad slots, and working out a better caching structure to reduce loading time for the user.

Solution

Layout according to Atomic Design principles with comprehensive caching concept.

As requested by the customer, a responsive design was developed for the website. A distinction between mobile domain (m.hoerzu) and desktop domain (hoerzu.de) is now no longer necessary. In addition, with the filter menu, a new feature was added that facilitates the search within the TV program and thus increases user-friendliness. The installation of clean sitemaps and clearly stored metadata for over 100,000 pages guarantees optimal indexability for search engines. The extensive caching concept ensures very short loading times even with a high workload and constantly or spontaneously changing content (e.g. special broadcasts). In addition, the current setup now also enables a white-label solution for further projects.
