ClickCounter

ZEIT ONLINE Counters is the generic term for a series of tracking and analysis tools that capture the relevant online figures in near real-time. For ZEIT ONLINE, they represent a complement to web analytics tools such as Omniture or WebTrekk for its day-to-day work.

The counters are optimized for at-a-glance overviews. The key figures are presented graphically from different viewpoints. The results can then serve as a decision-making basis for further planning of tenders. All counters come with their own web and HTML5 mobile interface and can also be integrated into the CMS via a REST API.

ClickCounter: The ClickCounter counts the number of hits on the editorial pages of ZEIT ONLINE. The source is a web beacon. The hits for the article are evaluated every five minutes. The figures are graphically represented in five-minute intervals for the last hour and in one-hour intervals for the past 24 hours. Access is via a web interface, and programmatic access is possible via a REST API. ZEIT ONLINE also allows for integration into the CMS.

AdCounter: AdCounter counts the number of ad impressions for individual campaigns. The source is a web beacon. Campaigns can be defined in terms of time and be assigned to different channels. Values obtained are compared against expectations. The data are read every five minutes and are graphically represented. Furthermore, they are available down to the channel level. Past campaigns are archived.

TextCounter: The TextCounter gives information about the number of published articles per period/desk/author. The source is a Lucene SOLR index operated by ZEIT ONLINE. The search results are enriched with the corresponding values from the ClickCounter on an article basis.

Dashboard: The Dashboard collects the key figures from the individual counters and displays them graphically and textually. In addition, the current IVW (German Information Community for the Assessment of the Circulation of Media) data are integrated. To that end, the dashboard replaces the IVW Collectorbox at ZEIT ONLINE, which was taken down in 2011.

Press portal

In collaboration with various departments of North German Radio (NDR), Folge 3 developed the portal for press releases from the NDR and has continually upgraded it ever since.

The press portal shows registered users the upcoming NDR program for the next few weeks. The broadcasts for the current week are updated in 15-minute intervals so that you can look up last minute changes quickly.

In addition, a number of newsletters and the NDR press releases are sent via the press portal. The press department can invite people and the press to its events via the integrated invitation module.

Relaunch Hebron

We have implemented a new website for the Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Hebron. The Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Hebron is a Christian nursing sisterhood in Marburg.

The website presents the energetic charitable commitment of the sisterhood and is also a channel for communicating its vibrant community work. The website is specifically designed so the sisters can easily post new content themselves.

Carlsen

We provided the Carlsen Verlag with our services for over ten years. Carlsen is part of the Swedish Bonnier Group and is a leading publisher in the children’s and youth literature sector, including publishers of the “Harry Potter” book series.

The centerpiece was the “Carl” title database that we developed. It served the internal publisher’s administration, but also provided the data for the website.

The special feature of the design of the website was, on the one hand, to address the very different target groups (from children and young adult book readers to manga fans) via sub and micro-sites, and on the other hand, to develop a comprehensive concept with recognition value based on Carlsen’s corporate identity.

Diakonie mobile

In 2012 we implemented the website relaunch for Diakonisches Werk Hamburg. Since then we have handled the continuous maintenance and further development. 2014 a mobile version was added.

The website is very user-friendly and its language is easy to understand. The target groups include not only people who are directly looking for advice and help but also users with specialized background knowledge and interested members of the public.

An important component is an address database that features more than 1,200 entries. It can be used to look for appropriate offers of help, for example, or available nursing home spaces in the vicinity.

DLR pitch

Our draft for the redesign of the German Center for Aerospace (DLR: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) was tendered as part of a non-public invitation by the DLR.

The aim of our strategy was to expand the reach of the website and especially to make it interesting to a young target group. Because of the DLR’s magnificent photo archives, we placed these motifs at the center of our design. In so doing, we graphically evoked the fascination of space on a large scale and offered an emotional entry point into this topic. The large dimensions of the images now make it possible to show a research result or a mission description at the pictorial level and in detail. Apart from that, the page structure features layering. Unfortunately, the request for tender from the DLR was revoked.

Escrow Server

The Escrow Server: our secure data exchange platform. Since 2011, Hoffmann und Campe Corporate Publishing has been using the server as a virtual custodian for the secure, traceable and data security-compliant exchange of data.

The company uses the Escrow Server, for example, for the transfer of customer data to Hoffmann und Campe Corporate Publishing and for the transmission of shipping instructions to lettershops.
