Web Design for Universities & Educational Institutions

Implementation of the WordPress web design

Web Design at Launch:

Webdesign für Hochschulen & Bildungseinrichtungen: Beispiel Humanistische Hochschule Berlin

How the project was implemented

Since 2021, I have supported the Humanistische Hochschule Berlin as a design and technical partner; the screenshot shows an updated version from 2024. In close collaboration with the university team and the designer, the entire WordPress web design was rebuilt and restructured using Elementor Pro and ACF.

The goal was a website that both aligns aesthetically with the university’s corporate identity and can be easily maintained internally—while also forming the basis for a long-term SEO strategy.

Implemented with a focus on:

  • Web design for universities & educational institutions – clear information architecture, low-barrier design, modern corporate identity
  • Flexible templates with ACF – custom page types for easy editing by the university team
  • Elementor Pro & WordPress – modular structure with consistent design and optimized user guidance
  • Technical & content-focused SEO alignment – keyword analysis, URL structure, metadata, and loading times
  • HubSpot integration for CRM processes – integration for capturing enquiries and contact forms
  • Training & ongoing support – hosting management, WordPress administration, support & further development

The result: A modern, reliable university website that clearly structures a wide range of information, is easy to use editorially—and visibly strengthens the university’s profile.

The website may have a different design today.

Hourly Rates and Booking Options

Billing by Hourly Rate

Hourly billing reflects the actual effort 1:1 and can be more cost-effective, as a buffer and one revision round are usually included in a fixed price. The time billed is that which cannot be spent on other clients (i.e., including communication, but naturally excluding accounting).

If you choose this billing method, I will gladly provide you with an estimate, we can agree on limits or budgets, and I can inform you of the current status at any time. Billing is per started quarter hour and on a monthly basis.

Activity Hourly Rate
WordPress Web Design / Website Creation 80 € zzgl. Steuer
WordPress Administration & Support (after launch) 80 € zzgl. Steuer
SEO Analyses & Measures 140 € zzgl. Steuer

We can also agree on a fixed price for your website. This is based on an estimate of the corresponding effort and includes 1 hour of meeting for discussion and one revision round per submitted draft. Further revision rounds will be billed at the hourly rate (see above).

To minimize revision rounds, it is helpful if you have already researched positive examples of your desired web design and prepared the content.
