Public Sector Website Relaunch in Just One Month with CrafterCMS

The Jobcenter Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge public sector website serves as an essential resource for job seekers and residents throughout the Saxony region of Germany. Its website is a critical digital touchpoint, helping citizens access information, services, and guidance related to employment and social benefits.

The organization needed a modern, accessible, and mobile-friendly website that would make navigating government services easier while reinforcing trust and reliability. At the same time, the project faced an aggressive timeline: the entire website had to be redesigned, rebuilt, and launched within a single month.

Working with digital agency partner XIMA MEDIA GmbH and powered by CrafterCMS, the Jobcenter successfully delivered a completely redesigned digital experience on schedule under a tight deadline.

The Challenge

The existing website contained a large amount of information that had accumulated over time. Content needed to be reorganized and simplified to help visitors quickly find the information and services they needed.

The project team identified several key goals:

• Deliver a complete website relaunch in one month
• Simplify and restructure content for improved usability
• Prioritize accessibility and compliance with public sector requirements
• Improve search engine visibility
• Optimize performance and page load times
• Deliver a modern, mobile-first user experience

The timeline was the biggest challenge. Conceptual design, technical implementation, content migration, and deployment all needed to happen simultaneously and be completed before the start of 2026.

From Concept to Launch in Record Time

Despite the aggressive schedule, the project launched successfully at the beginning of 2026.

Using CrafterCMS as the foundation, XIMA MEDIA was able to rapidly implement a modern government portal with a clean design, intuitive navigation, and a streamlined information architecture.

The new site emphasizes clarity and ease of use. Information is organized around the needs of citizens, enabling visitors to quickly find answers, services, and contact information.

The result is a website that communicates professionalism and trust while significantly improving the user experience.

Digital Services Designed Around Citizens

Visitors to government websites expect to find information quickly and access digital services easily.

To meet these expectations, the new website was designed around a simple principle: reduce friction.

Content was carefully reorganized and grouped logically to simplify access to services and guidance. The site's structure helps users navigate what can often be a complex administrative environment.

The project also adopted a strict mobile-first design philosophy. Since many citizens access government services on smartphones and tablets, the website was optimized from the ground up for mobile devices.

Large touch-friendly elements, intuitive navigation, and clearly recognizable icons guide users through the site regardless of screen size or device.

Accessibility as a Core Requirement

Accessibility was not treated as an afterthought.

The website includes numerous accessibility features designed to ensure that all citizens can access information and services easily.

Among these are:

• Dedicated easy-to-read content sections
• Accessible navigation concepts
• Step-by-step assistants for applications and services
• Support options for people with hearing impairments
• Mobile-first responsive design
• Integration with digital government services through jobcenter.digital

Every aspect of the project was designed with accessibility and usability in mind, helping ensure compliance with public sector accessibility requirements while creating a better experience for all users.

Technical Implementation with CrafterCMS

The new website was built on CrafterCMS, providing the flexibility and speed required to deliver the project under an extremely compressed schedule.

CrafterCMS enabled the project team to:

• Build and launch a modern public sector website in just one month
• Deliver fast page load times and excellent performance
• Support flexible content authoring and ongoing editorial workflows
• Create a mobile-first, responsive experience
• Implement accessibility features throughout the platform
• Integrate seamlessly with external digital government services

Its open architecture and enterprise capabilities made CrafterCMS an ideal choice for a public sector organization seeking both agility and long-term maintainability.

Delivering Real Value

The relaunch delivered more than a fresh design.

The website was completely restructured and modernized based on user needs and content usage patterns. Larger click targets, improved grouping of key information, and richer imagery create a more engaging and user-friendly experience.

The portal is now tightly integrated with central federal Jobcenter services, with a strong emphasis on online services and digital self-service capabilities.

Most importantly, the organization now has a modern digital platform that makes government services easier to access and provides citizens with a trusted, intuitive online experience.

Partnership That Made It Possible

The project demonstrates what is possible when a modern CMS platform is combined with an experienced implementation partner and a focused team.

By leveraging CrafterCMS and working closely with the CrafterCMS team, XIMA MEDIA successfully delivered a complete public sector website relaunch in record time—proving that speed, accessibility, and enterprise-grade digital experiences can go hand in hand.
