Headless, lightweight and with a fast time to market
Task
Building on a long-standing and successful partnership, we took NBank’s digital presence to the next level with a comprehensive relaunch. The goal was to create a scalable platform that makes information accessible quickly and intuitively. Thanks to a maintenance-friendly architecture, the site can respond agilely to technological trends and new touchpoints. A key focus of the project was the consistent implementation of accessibility to provide an inclusive digital experience for all users.

For the editorial team, we were able to focus on intuitive use of the templates and modules. This allowed a quick introduction without a great deal of training.
- The forms contain a suitable preview image for various display options so that the result is immediately visible.
- In order to familiarize yourself with the modules as quickly as possible, forms are automatically pre-assigned with sample texts.
- Editors no longer need to acquire expert knowledge about content-related contexts.
- Content types are automatically assigned to editorial areas using keywords and categorizations. Categories and keywords can be freely defined and changed by the editorial team within the global content.
- Editorial changes are immediately available in the forms. We developed an extension for FirstSpirit specifically for this purpose.
- Implementation of event management with the Universal Messager. This considerably simplifies the maintenance of events and the administration of event visitors.
Technically, we pursued a headless approach without a complex technology stack. FirstSpirit only provides the data, which is cast in form and color through server-side rendering.
The clean separation of CMS and HTML playout makes it possible to fully utilize continuous development and integration and to integrate new features solidly and securely even shortly before the launch, thus further increasing the added value for the visitor.
For visitors to the website, the editorial concept provides relevant and up-to-date content where it can be useful and helpful. A funding panorama automatically offers the associated funding programs and displays suitable press releases. Of course, the new website is EAA-compliant.
As a full-service partner, I-D Media is also responsible for operating the platform infrastructure and runs, maintains, and supports the servers in a certified data center. Our support desk also provides support for editors. This means that NBank has a single point of contact for all questions relating to its CMS.
