Keep familiar processes. Remove barriers.
On its website, Tabea Diakonie in Hamburg presents services such as ServiceWohnen, outpatient and inpatient care, day care and the hospice service. We have provided technical support for the website since April 2022, including version upgrades, a server move, training in content maintenance and changes to improve accessibility.
Making care and support services accessible and understandable.
The website is aimed at people who want to find out about Tabea's services, and at their relatives. They should be able to learn about the various services and find the right contact options.
Our support therefore focuses on the technical basis, editorial maintenance and the accessibility of the information. To this end, the existing website is being developed step by step.
Developed step by step since 2022.
Our support has involved a series of steps – from the technical takeover through version upgrades to accessibility improvements.
Start of support
In April 2022, we took over technical support and fixed existing bugs. In September 2022, the upgrade from TYPO3 8.7 via 9.5 and 10.4 to 11.5 followed.
Server move
In May 2023, we moved the website to a new server environment.
Training and ongoing maintenance
In August 2023, we trained the editorial team in maintaining the content. After that, security updates and the optimisation of images in WebP format became part of our support.
Upgrade to TYPO3 12.4
In 2025, we upgraded the website to TYPO3 12.4.
Accessibility and next upgrade
From September to December 2025, we made changes to improve accessibility. In 2026, we prepared the move to TYPO3 13.4 and implemented it on the test system.
Services and news at a glance.
Targeted improvements to the existing website.
For the accessibility work, we reviewed the existing website and made targeted changes without rebuilding it, taking the editorial team's familiar processes into account.
Two examples: keyboard users can skip the navigation using the “Skip to main content” link, open submenus and the search without a mouse, and see from a clear outline which element currently has focus. For screen readers, buttons such as “Open menu” or “Open search” are clearly labelled.
Maintain content yourself, develop the technology together.
The Tabea team knows its own services and keeps the information on the website up to date. In a training session, we covered the TYPO3 processes needed for this.
This allows the editorial team to edit content independently. We look after technical changes, security updates and version upgrades.
The project in numbers.
