Assistenz Kollektiv Köln e.V.: Our website in a new, barrier-free design!

We are very pleased to present you the brand new website of the Assistenz Kollektiv Köln e.V.! After an intensive year of planning and design, our online presence is now finally available in a modern and inclusive design. Our aim was to make the website more accessible, especially for people with disabilities: Navigation is now easier, usability is more intuitive and the layout is clearer. In addition, we now offer the content in several languages to make access easier for as many people as possible.

Made possible by generous funding

Our new website would not have been possible without the support of two great partners:

  • Kämpgen Foundation: Thanks to their support, we were able to implement key aspects of accessibility and multilingualism. The usability of the website for all users, regardless of any limitations, is important to us, and the Kämpgen Foundation has made a significant contribution to realizing this vision.
  • Software AG Foundation: Thanks to the support of the Software AG Foundation, we were able to further develop the technical infrastructure, improve our visibility in search engines and make the structure of our content clearer.

Our vision for the future

We are very grateful to our supporters – and we’re not finished yet! With the support of the Software AG Foundation, we are planning exciting new features in the coming months: A peer-to-peer video advice portal will be integrated into the website. With this, we want to create a platform for direct exchange on the topics of personal assistance and self-determined living. We are also preparing a comprehensive information campaign that will bring important information about personal assistance to first points of contact.

A digital milestone for the collective

With this new website, we have taken a big step towards a digitally inclusive future thanks to the support of the foundations. We look forward to continuing on this path and expanding digital accessibility in the future. A very special thanks also goes to our great system administrator and graphic designer for the implementation!

A collage shows the stencil-style illustrated portraits of several people from the collective. The backgrounds of the individual portraits are a strong dark red and petrol against a yellow background. The people are arranged differently and show different facial expressions. It is a mixture of people of different ages. Some people are shown in profile, others directly from the front.
