Ville d’Esch
Luxembourg’s second biggest city, Esch-sur-Alzette, needed to replace its 10 Year old website. Together with its PR and IT Teams we worked on a new navigation concept and an entire redesign, building up on its current visual identity while slightly adapting it. Our focus was on new tools, making the site easier to use for local residents and visitors.
With the new website, the city finally has a beautiful and user friendly online presence and is well prepared for 2022, when Esch-sur-Alzette becomes the cultural capital of Europe.
