Website support for the Histiozytosehilfe
An association for people with a rare disease — the website has to run reliably, nothing more.
The HistiozytoseHilfe is an association of patients and relatives. Histiocytoses are a group of rare diseases; anyone affected rarely finds someone nearby with the same condition. That is exactly why the website matters: it brings research, personal reports and dates to people who would otherwise be on their own.
My work was the ongoing support: putting the association's magazine online, which arrived roughly twice a month as a new issue or supplement, updating content, managing the site technically. No design, no big technology — a task that is only noticed when it is not done.
For an association that lives on volunteers, that is precisely the value: someone is there who keeps the site running reliably, without anyone on the board having to learn the ropes.
Shown are the cover, contents and two text pages of the magazine — the reports in the magazine show patients and their families, and they do not belong in a portfolio.
