  • The most intuitive navigation possible to reduce the time spent finding information
  • Maximum number of server requests on-call per screen: 60
  • Size of maximum resources per screen: 4MB
  • All content is available on mobile and desktop at a minimum, but the site adapts to all screen sizes
  • Maximum compression of images and videos
  • Manual deletion of obsolete content, e.g. events and job offers
