Websites
Every site begins with the same question: what should visitors understand first? The structure grows from the answer, the design from the structure. The technology stays in the background, where it belongs.
The approach
The answer to that first question decides the order of the pages, the weight of the content and the tone. Only then does the design appear – as the shape of that answer, not as decoration. What does not carry is dropped; what stays is given room.
The sites are built with Nuxt and maintained in Directus – by the people who own them. Where a body of work carries the site, the Catalogue de ligatures keeps the connections. Where an archive, a portfolio or a service is at the centre, it gets a structure of its own.
Projects
Recent work: a website for drone and 360° imagery, and an archive for exhibitions that should not be forgotten.
01
Composer, conductor, teacher (1942–2018) · catalogue of works and archive
The website for the work of a composer who can no longer tell it himself: scores to download, listening examples, interviews, texts – and a guide to the music, chapter by chapter.

02
Composer · catalogue of works, concerts, recordings
A website where the music keeps playing while you read: catalogue of works, concerts on a globe of venues, recordings, writings – and a player that does not fall silent when you turn the page.

International Choir Competition Spittal an der Drau · website relaunch
Since 1964, choirs from all over the world have sung in the arcaded courtyard of Schloss Porcia. The new website brings the call, the registration, the programme and the archive of prize winners into one system the cultural office maintains itself – multilingual, on every device.

Next to the commissioned work runs a series of studies: how does a single page carry a practice? How do two professions share one site? What holds three fields together? The answers flow into the commissioned projects.
To the design studiesWhat lasts
Launch is not the end of the work; it is the beginning of use.
The order of the site follows what should be understood. It still holds when content is added.
Texts, images and dates are changed by the people who know them – with a handbook that stays.
Bodies of work get the Catalogue de ligatures. Everything else gets the structure it needs.
