HI Today news portal
HI Heute is a platform that publishes news on all aspects of retail real estate in Germany. Among other things, the site provides analyses, tips and information.
I was commissioned by rend Medien Service GmbH to redesign the platform.

Project phases


Project Kick-Off
The requirements and specifications for the new platform were discussed in a kick-off meeting and open questions were clarified.
User analysis
Users of the platform regularly deal with real estate and always want to stay up to date. A quick overview of the latest news and quick access to articles is important to them.
Primary view during use:
The platform is used both in the office and on the move, so all pages must be responsive and optimized for display on all devices.


Competitor analysis
The competitor sites include ImmobilienZeitung, Handelsblatt and, indirectly, FAZ. The aim was to stand out from the competition with a better structure and overview.
Platform analysis
Based on the user and competitor analysis, I examined the old platform and got an idea of the functions and possible problems with the user experience.


UX design
The news is presented in various formats. From small teasers and short messages to highlighted articles and videos, everything fits perfectly into the picture. Call-to-actions ensure easy navigation and labels provide good orientation. This allows users to quickly grasp all the important information.
