Careum has come together: The individual websites of four different Careum institutions have been consolidated onto one platform, allowing users to discover the Careum world seamlessly.
A single platform for all Careum institutions
Careum is committed to improving the healthcare world by educating the professionals of tomorrow, networking key players, and promoting innovations. Founded as a foundation in 1882, Careum comprises several institutions: Careum Publishing and the Center for Health Competence are part of the foundation alongside central functions. Additionally, the subsidiaries Careum Education Center, Careum University of Applied Health Sciences, Careum Continuing Education, and Edubase offer educational programs.
The central website covers traditional corporate content and news, as well as the offerings of the Careum Education Center, Careum Publishing, and Careum Continuing Education. All offerings can be purchased or booked directly through the platform.
Attractive Content Design
The website impresses with an attractive content design. Around 20 content modules allow editors many options to meet their needs and help overcoming various content challenges. These include interactive graphics, content presentation along a timeline, as well as animations and videos.
The use of images, a generous design with ample white space, combined with a clearly structured layout, ensures that users never feel overwhelmed by the content, despite the extensive texts.
Platform with Commercial Functions
With the website, Careum pursues commercial goals. In addition to selling teaching materials, users can directly book continuing education offers. Those interested in vocational training or education at the higher vocational school can register directly for the corresponding information events.
All offers are seamlessly connected to the corresponding subsystems. For the publishing shop, we use Shopware 6 as the e-commerce platform, which is in turn connected to the publishing software Phiatos. Offers and registrations in the continuing education sector are directly synchronized with the training software Tocco. For registrations for information events, the CRM Brevo is integraded.
Headless Architecture
The website is implemented with a headless architecture. This allowed for connecting various systems to a single frontend, resulting in a seamless experience despite the different subsystems operating in the background.
Drupal was chosen as the CMS system for managing website content. Shopware is integrated as the e-commerce platform, which is connected to the publishing software Phiatos via an interface for the product catalog and orders. The continuing education offerings are imported into Drupal from Tocco, with course and program registrations handled directly through the frontend. Registrations for information events are processed via an API directly into the CRM Brevo.
The website is implemented as a single-page application, based on Nuxt.js and Vue.js, and connected to the CMS via GraphQL. This allows for a smooth user experience, aligning with Careum’s modern brand presence.
The frontend application and the backend systems are operated in the Azure cloud by our DevOps team.
