ITV Itzehoe: from the club's
WordPress to a modern web app.

The Itzehoe tennis club had a website that had grown overloaded over more than 15 years. We rethought it from the ground up: lightning-fast, mobile, with live weather at the courts, a searchable club archive, a photo gallery and a club chronicle – while preserving every piece of content and the entire image archive.

01 · Home page

From a wall of text to a clear presence

The old home page was an endless, overloaded WordPress page packed with sidebar widgets. Now: a clearly structured presence with a hero, live weather and news at a glance.

Clear and organized instead of tangled lists

Long, unstructured text lists of contacts became clear, mobile-readable cards for the board and points of contact.
