A Modular, Dynamic Website for KMS TEAM
KMS TEAM’s concept and design called for a highly modular CMS, a dynamic frontend and strong performance. Their company pages needed the same freedom of expression as the case studies showcasing their clients and work. Markus Sauer, Digital Design Director at KMS TEAM, explains:
The site’s performance with such extensive content and its dynamic overall feel were particularly important to us. Precise implementation is essential to achieving that.
Working closely with KMS TEAM, we chose to build the editorial system on Craft CMS. It lets editors combine a wide range of configurable content elements, giving them the flexibility they need to create individual pages.
The frontend is a server-side rendered single-page application built with Vue.js and Nuxt.js, connected to the CMS via GraphQL. It also integrates video and recruitment services. Varied content, animations and interactions across different media invite visitors to explore KMS TEAM’s portfolio — something we enjoyed doing throughout development and afterwards. Markus Sauer:
We’re delighted to have a partner in Hypercode who immediately understood our conceptual, technical and design requirements and met them so well. We really enjoyed working together and exchanging ideas throughout the project.
Thank you, Markus — the feeling is mutual!

A Digital Stage for Performers During the Pandemic
While many are still discussing how to address the pandemic’s impact on society and the economy, SANOSTRA GmbH für Showinszenierungen is showing how an industry can put digital ideas into practice:
The video platform lets performers share acrobatics, dance and creative sports with a wider audience, directly addressing the difficulties caused by lockdowns and restrictions on events.
A crowdfunded Community Award lets viewers vote for performers and support their favorites. A live-streamed event is also planned, with performances by the finalists followed by the award ceremony.
#SHAREYOURSHOW shows how innovation can continue through a crisis. Artists have already uploaded nearly a hundred high-quality performances, while audiences have cast votes and made donations thousands of times. And the platform is here to stay: once the pandemic is over — hopefully soon — #SHAREYOURSHOW will keep bringing the performing arts into people’s living rooms.
We handled the technical planning and backend and frontend development for the project, working closely with the SANOSTRA team and designer Oliver Schmidt from the start.
Together, we developed the concept through workshops, wireframes and user flows, then built the platform as a mobile-first web-app. A Craft CMS-based system brings together registration, video uploads, streaming, voting and crowdfunding for the Community Award. In the frontend, Alpine.js provides lightweight interactions and an easy-to-use interface.
