The Saxony Economic Development Agency strengthens the image of the region by promoting Saxony as a business location and advising potential investors. In addition, local companies are supported in their export efforts and in the initiation of cooperations.
We were commissioned to design a new website for the WFS, which combines the information from the websites „www.wfs.sachsen.de“ and „www.invest-in-saxony.net“ and serves as a central interface to the target groups of WFS.
The focus of the new website for WFS was to guarantee a target group and topic spanning online communication. A uniform image of the overall appearance according to the specifications of the existing CD should be established Furthermore an optimal, cross-device user experience was supposed to be created.
