Liip recently collaborated with the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich to develop their new website, addressing the complex content management needs of the leading Swiss design museum. A significant aspect of the project involved creating a sophisticated event management system to support the museums diverse and dynamic public programs. This system needed to accommodate multilingual content as well as various user groups, allowing for an inclusive and accessible online presence.
To achieve this, Liip built upon the existing Recurring Events module in Drupal, a popular open-source content management system. The team enhanced the module by adding multilingual capabilities and support for different user groups, ensuring the museums events could reach a broader audience in multiple languages. This open-source collaboration not only met the museums specific requirements but also contributed to the wider Drupal community, showcasing the benefits of collaborative development.
The flexible event system developed by Liip allows the Museum für Gestaltung to efficiently manage their extensive schedule of exhibitions, workshops, and other events. By integrating seamlessly with the museums other digital assets, the new system provides a unified platform for both internal management and public engagement. The enhancements made to the Drupal module reflect Liips commitment to creating tailor-made solutions that address the unique challenges faced by cultural institutions like the Museum für Gestaltung.
Overall, the project highlights the importance of adaptable content management systems in supporting the evolving needs of cultural organizations. By working closely with the Museum für Gestaltung and leveraging open-source technology, Liip has delivered a robust solution that enhances the museums ability to connect with its audience while also contributing valuable improvements to the Drupal ecosystem.
