Kulturstiftung des Bundes -
Support and further development in TYPO3

The Initial Situation

The Federal Cultural Foundation is one of the largest publicly funded cultural foundations in Europe. The foundation supports art and culture - without thematic limitation and in all areas. It places particular emphasis on the promotion of innovative programs and projects in an international context, on cross-border cooperation and on lively cultural exchange. To this end, the foundation initiates and supports appropriate art and culture projects upon request.

Our Task:

The Federal Cultural Foundation presents these projects on its website (https://www.kulturstiftung-des-bundes.de). The website was redesigned at the beginning of 2018 by the Boros GmbH agency from Wuppertal: Photos and graphics were given more space, hashtags provide orientation for relevant topics and funding priorities and a new search and filter function makes research easier.

For the time after the launch, the foundation was looking for an agency - with relevant experience both in TYPO3 and in the field of culture - for ongoing support and the continuous development of its website. The cosmoblonde concept was convincing.
