Clear and accessible websites for companies in Bern

Many businesses and organisations in Bern have a great deal to communicate: services, documents, contacts, dates and updates. The skill is not showing everything, but organising it understandably. We create websites that bring complex information into a clear structure – supported from our Basel office, digitally and in person by arrangement.

From extensive information to an understandable structure

Organisations, associations and businesses with extensive offerings know the problem particularly well: the content exists, but nobody can find it. We plan information architecture so that visitors can reach their goal without prior knowledge – and your team can maintain the content over time.

Which businesses in Bern is this for?

These website types illustrate typical tasks in Bern – they are not a list of existing commissions. An organisation needs current information and documents, an association needs easy maintenance by changing committee members, and a consultancy needs clear service pages. What they share is this: structure determines whether content has an impact or gets lost.

Explain complex content clearly

02 / Bern

An understandable website starts with clear main navigation: a few unambiguously named sections instead of deeply nested menus. Service pages explain matters in simple language, questions and answers anticipate recurring concerns, documents are stored in an organised way, and contact people and channels are immediately visible.

Updates also need a place: news, dates or new documents should appear without disrupting the structure. We plan these processes from the outset so that the website does not become confusing after a year.

Try out information architecture live

03 / Bern

The interactive demo shows how order emerges: on the left are unorganised items – services, team, documents, dates, questions and contact. Assign them to navigation using simple selection fields. The page structure on the right updates immediately.

We carry out this exercise with you during planning: which content belongs together, what needs its own section and what can be removed? Good information architecture is the most important foundation of a website – more important than any design decision.

Suitable website types

04 / Bern

A company website needs clear services and contact channels. An organisation needs a structure for members, documents and updates. An association needs a website that can be maintained without technical knowledge. A project website needs a clear focus and a limited lifespan.

We build each type around its task, not a pattern. In the initial consultation, we clarify which content exists, who maintains it and who reads it. This produces a structure suited to your everyday work.

Maintain documents and information

05 / Bern

The interactive content management demo shows how simple maintenance can be: enter a title, category, date, document and status – an overview and detailed view appear immediately on the right. The demo saves nothing; it demonstrates the principle.

For your website, we configure maintenance so that your team can work without a marathon of training. Clear fields, understandable categories and a transparent status (draft, published, archived) prevent outdated documents from remaining online.

Accessible and understandable use

06 / Bern

Understandability is also a matter of presentation. The comparison view shows typical problems – text that is too small, weak contrast and unclear buttons – alongside an improved version. Small changes make a big difference for all visitors.

We ensure readable font sizes, sufficient contrast, understandable labels and keyboard accessibility. A full legal compliance assessment is a separate process – we do not promise it as a blanket guarantee, but carefully implement the recognised foundations.

Website analysis for existing websites

07 / Bern

If you already have a website, a structured review is a worthwhile first step. In the interactive assessment, you select areas such as structure, content, mobile view, contact, technology and discoverability – and receive a neutral explanation of what is checked in each.

We carry out the actual analysis of your website personally: we examine structure, content, technology and discoverability and provide an understandable assessment with prioritised next steps. Only then do we decide together whether improvements or a rebuild make sense.

Collaboration with businesses in Bern

08 / Bern

We support Bern projects from Basel: digital project management with clear stages, structured approvals and in - person appointments by arrangement. The distance between Basel and Bern is short; for key meetings such as kick - off or handover, we are happy to visit by agreement.

After completion, we introduce you or your team to maintenance – in person or by video appointment. Particularly for content - rich websites, a good introduction is essential to keep the structure maintained over the long term.

Frequently asked questions in Bern

Our website has a huge amount of content – can it really be clearly organised?

Yes, that is exactly why we plan information architecture. We organise content into a few clear sections, build understandable service pages and ensure documents and updates have a defined place.

Can we manage documents ourselves?

Yes. We set up simple document management: title, category, date and status are clearly visible. Your team can add, update and archive documents without technical knowledge.

Can several team members maintain the website?

Yes. We set up accounts with suitable permissions and explain who maintains what during an introduction. Responsibility therefore remains clear even as your team changes.

How much work is involved in maintaining it ourselves?

That depends on the structure. We set up content management so that typical tasks – replacing a document, publishing an update, adding a team member – can be completed in just a few minutes.

Can you update our existing website?

Yes. We first analyse its structure, content, technology and discoverability. We then give you an honest recommendation on whether targeted improvements will be enough or a rebuild would make more sense in the long term.

Will the website work on smartphones?

Yes. Every website is built with a responsive design and tested on several screen sizes. Particularly where there is extensive content, we make sure that navigation and documents remain accessible on mobile devices.

What are the phases of a project?

Gather content, plan the structure, design and build, set up content management, test and launch. Each phase ends with your approval, so you stay in control.

Can the website be expanded later?

Yes. We build websites so that they can be expanded with new sections, additional languages and further features. The structure is planned from the outset to allow it to grow.
