The "Schweizer Fleisch Magazin" claims to be the leader in the subject of Swiss meat. Along the strategy, the magazine places consumers and their needs (from private to teaching to gastronomy) at the center and conveys primarily Swiss meat knowledge with the aim of strengthening appreciation, trust and sympathy in the product and its local production ,
The aim is to anchor the message of the subtle difference between Swiss meat on demanded and readable content attractive and sustainable.
The "Swiss Meat Magazine" combines the claim and appearance of a food magazine with the reading and searching habits on the internet. The magazine transports preparation knowledge, specialist knowledge as well as reports and background information on sustainable and domestic production. This is achieved through the consistent use of digital journalistic forms of representation (and micro-interactions).
Supplemented with supporting measures, the number of returning visitors is to be significantly increased and the breadth of the content consumed shall be widened.
Project and goals:

The aim is to anchor the message of the "subtle difference of Swiss meat". The platform positions "Swiss Meat" as a theme guide.

Why Drupal was chosen
--------------------------------
Creating a magazine also means that it is absolutely crucial to display the content in different places. Furthermore SEO is highly important to give significant emphasis on each topic. Having a rich set of teasers also helps the user to keep on reading and move from story to story. Drupal helped. With a progressive decoupled approach, we made sure to use the right technologies for the different challenges the site provided. The most important feature is the filterable taxonomy based on which content pages get there URLs on the fly. This also helps providing a vast number of highly specific detail pages. A valuable grouping based on ressorts allows to quickly find historical related topics.
