Business Punk

A web portal for Germany's most unusual business magazine

Fast, slick, marketer-friendly

“Work hard, play hard”: The publishing house Gruner + Jahr launched the magazine Business Punk in autumn 2009. With its economic topics, it was aimed at a previously poorly addressed target group: young, hip, aspiring and technology-savvy.

11 years later – the magazine is now an integral part of the German media landscape – it is time for a relaunch of the web portal.

BY INTENTION designed and developed this new online presence. We ensure that it meets the needs of users and advertisers alike and we are still responsible for technical support of the site to this day.

Ensuring theBrand Identity

In order to allow maximum scope for editorial content, we deliberately designed the user interface to be minimalist. At the same time, it was possible to ensure a high level of recognition by adopting defining elements from the printed magazine.

Together with the client, the decision was made to use WordPress as the content management system. Since the requirements are high, both graphically and technically, we then developed a completely new theme. In addition, due to the high volume of visitors, it was essential to optimize the loading times of the pages.

Combining Client’s Goalswith User Interests

The publisher’s strategic goals required special attention to be paid to the smooth integration of advertisements into the basic layout during the redesign process.

In addition, a high number of people access the site via social media – our particular focus was on the responsiveness of the site.

Our Role as a Service Provider

Even after the relaunch of the web portal, we are still in charge of technical support for the site to this day.
As a permanent service provider, BY INTENTION can be reached by the publisher within the shortest possible response times.

The background: The sometimes very high number of visitors makes regular checking essential. This includes a partially automated check of all essential functions as well as our regular check of the entire system security.

Let's create something great together!
