Welcome to our new Internet pages!
We made it! Over the last few months we have completely revised our website and we are now providing you with all the information about MATERNA on a new technology base and with a new, more modern look. We have changed a lot:
1) New look
The layout of our new website has been given a complete makeover. Fresh, friendly colours and appealing graphics combined with suitable images form the 
framework for the new design. Appropriate spacing between different contents, e.g., in text passages or logos, spreads everything out making it much easier to read. The fixed page-width also means good, user-friendly displays in all browsers and on larger screens.
2) New navigation concept
While we were developing the new navigation concept we looked carefully at the latest aspects of usability but also put experience gained with our previous internet sites to good use. This has led, for example, to a new page navigation which clearly shows visitors to the site exactly where they are at any particular time. It is also possible to navigate directly to all the important solutions topics directly from the home page and all the sub-pages under each main point are shown clearly in a foldout menu. We also ran a beta test on independent test persons in the final quality assurance phase. This test exposed several potential improvements for the user navigation which we then added to the final design.
3) New contents
The contents of every single web page were examined, evaluated and revised both manually and with the help of web analysis programmes. The following areas were also completely redrafted and redesigned:
- The solutions portfolio on the topic of IT Management
- The presentation and contents of our reference customers
- The press section
- The career pages
- The pages for the company’s locations
- The internet search
4) New software and hardware
The new technical basis for the site is the well-proven content management solution 
Government Site Builder (GSB) Version 4.0 combined with an Oracle database. It was particularly important for us to set up “cleaner” and more search-engine-friendly data structures while ensuring excellent performance and availability. The hardware for our modern, future-proof technology platform is equipped with IBM xSeries technology.
The Marketing and Communications Department at MATERNA is responsible for the design and implementation of all the process steps. If you have any more questions please contact marketing@materna.com or use our contact form.
