Intuitive and easy to use – that’s what we aspire our content pools to be. Ensuring that we meet these ambitions requires brains. And David has plenty of those.
May we introduce to you: David Giesemann, 33 years of age, programmer. He is the mastermind behind our content pools that are used in a variety of fields. “More areas of use mean increasing requirements. That’s why new solutions are always sought after,” he explains.
Project solutions for the web have been David’s priority for a while. The trained graphic designer took his first steps on the internet in his youth. What began with small websites for family and friends continuously advanced to more. His portfolio includes a phone book provider’s online presence, and he can look back on wide range of websites and shops he has created. On top of all this comes the development of our content pools.
David incorporated the content pools into his work in 2016, and they are undoubtedly responsible for a few of the grey hairs. The task: creating a press database for journalists. “The project was a bumpy ride, but in the end it all fell into place. Much more important was that we managed to create our very first database. Five years later, it still performs like clockwork. That’s what we were able to build on.”
With our content pools having evolved significantly, David’s main task now is to perfect them. “We’re thinking about functionality, optimising the pools. Every development needs to be well though through and tested meticulously,” he says.
Preparing for Easter can be hard work, especially if you’re the Easter Bunny! It’s easy to lose track of all the eggs – chocolate or otherwise.
You know what might help? A content pool! It is designed to help you keep track of everything, so you know exactly where all your eggs are. Big, small, white or multi-coloured – there would be space for all of them in the content pool.
Sharing the eggs would be child’s play, too. All you need is a couple of clicks to set up the filters and display the content you’re looking for.
Displaying thumbnails in a content pool is another area of customisation. For Easter eggs the best option is portrait mode!
Happy Easter!
Nobody says no to a pool party in fashionable Monte Carlo! Reason enough for us to organize one of our pool parties in Monaco. Party promoter: Sean Johnston.
And it was no coincidence that Sean was in the Principality. The 30-year-old US American was competing in the WRC – the World Rally Championship – and was accompanied by the contentpools.de logo on his Citroën C3. As it turned out, this was his lucky charm. Together with co-driver Alex Kuhirani, Sean clinched fifth place after a very challenging weekend.
The result is impressive. The Rallye Monte-Carlo, in short “Monte”, is in fact one of the most prestigious international motorsport events, and the 2021 season-opener also happened to be the legendary event’s 89th edition. In addition, weather conditions produced a mix of snow, ice, sun and rain that stretched the duo to its limits.
Spectators weren’t allowed this year. But for all those who had to stay at home, Sean has brought a souvenir with him. Spectacular rally photos from the French Alps – stunning views with masses of snow. And where are these photos best kept? In a content pool, of course!
