Conversion of the web site for the madness & arts worldfestival II in Münster. "Madness" is supposed to be highlighted and should reflect this extraordinary event. The international orientation of the festival requires a multilingual conversion.

The web site madnessandarts.de was realized with the enterprise content management system "TYPO3" and rendered into strict XHTML 1.0 according to latest web standards. The information scope is multilingually established in the One-Tree concept and offers the simple language change within the page. The editorial staff profits by the flexibility TYPO3`s and they can now publish personalized and time-controlled contents without large expenditure. For example a protected area is available for press members, where specific information about the festival can be gathered and downloaded. The wide construction of the site allows the use of big heading pictures, as well as a comprehensive text area where - at a glance - many information can be captured without annoying scrolling. For an extravagant appearance, all pictures have been processed in their colour and been settled in the footer as well. Because a high scope was put onto the composition of a structured information offer, the menu and the page headers have been generated as pictures that let the user recognise the nature of the contents.
