Behind tbwnet.ch stand the Technische Betriebe Würenlos, which reliably supplies the Swiss community of Würenlos with electricity, water, and communication. The web presence of the public institution requires a particularly appealing design, which makes the services and services of TBW palatable to visitors through the design and excellent image quality. At the same time, a quick and clear navigation through the individual pages must be offered so that visitors perceive TBW as a reliable and professional partner and can discover the products.

The challenge

Our long-standing client, tbwnet.ch, wanted both a technical update of the somewhat outdated website and a redesign to bring the brand identity back to the state of the art. As an experienced partner, the W4 team was happy to take on the conception and technical implementation of this project. For this purpose, the existing version of the CMS used, TYPO3, was updated to the latest and most stable version. This version offers not only security updates, but also additional new features, as well as the possibility of optical optimizations.

Specifically, the website of Technische Betriebe Würenlos now features two webcams with a view of the Limmattal and Würenlos and a detailed weekly weather station for Würenlos. In addition, product orders can now be easily collected in a virtual shopping cart. Besides these two special and new features, however, the focus of the project was on the programming and implementation of the tariff calculator for electricity + water. This allows both private and business customers to have their electricity or water costs calculated quickly and easily on the basis of their annual consumption. After intuitive input into the user-friendly interface of the tariff calculator, in which one can choose between single and double tariff and enter the annual consumption manually, individual offers are calculated in no time. These are subdivided into the two tariffs, "Classic" and "Local". The special feature is that due to the programming of the calculation by W4, the prices can be easily entered and managed through the editors in the backend, just as intuitively as in the frontend!

The new online presence does justice to TBW's services and presents them optimally. Of course, the contents of the website are created as a responsive web design and are thus displayed flawlessly on all end devices.

• The virtual shopping cart.
  
  

Solution and implementation

For the technical realization, we relied on the content management system TYPO3. Here, the tariff calculator could be programmed in such a way that the calculation and adjustment of prices can be managed independently in the backend.

W4 acted as a professional partner in this project: Both the conception and the development and programming of the website were handled by our experts. The outstanding design was created by our partner agency, Topline.

Efficient to success - agile project management with UI partners and customers

Using agile project management according to the SCRUM framework, W4 discussed the current status of the project with the customer, set up sprints, and discussed customization requests. This enabled W4 to react flexibly to various requirements and challenges and to constantly optimize workflows. In this way, W4 was able to realize the project agilely with the customer and Topline.
