Our new website is live
As of today, AAG runs on a new website. The timing is no coincidence: this weekend, alumni and active AIESECers met at the WorkingWeekend in Bonn, and as it wraps up, the site you are reading this on goes live.
It started with the design
An association that has grown over six decades collects identities. Logos in several versions, colours that differed slightly from one document to the next, presentations, flyers and invitations that all looked somehow like AAG, but rarely like the same AAG. So the starting point was not the website but a design system: colours, typography and recurring patterns, defined once and binding. One identity instead of ten variations.
The new website is the first complete application of that system — and at the same time the place where most of it becomes visible.
What actually changes
- Bilingual. Every page exists in German and English — not just selected content. The network is international, and now our presence is too, all the way through.
- Events in one place. Upcoming events and the archive covering more than six decades of association life now sit together on the site instead of being scattered across emails and calendars.
- Fast and frugal. Fonts are served from our own server, and external content such as Eventbrite widgets or videos only loads once you agree to it. The site is fully readable and usable without JavaScript.
- Edited by volunteers. Content can be maintained straight from the browser, with no technical knowledge required. Every change gets its own preview before it goes live.
Part of a larger rebuild
The website does not stand on its own. For a good year now, the board has been building a base platform meant to carry the association, rather than leaving it to be carried by individuals: a shared place for all our documents, AI support for work that would otherwise simply be left undone, a consistent identity — and automation wherever it pays off. Events now appear on the website automatically once they have been set up, and our social media channels keep running without someone having to produce content every day.
None of this is an end in itself. Every hour not spent on administration is an hour available for what members actually want from AAG: events, encounters, and support for AIESEC in Germany.
We keep the platform running — you shape what happens on it
That is how we see our role as a board. We make sure the infrastructure, the identity and the administration work. Which events happen, in which cities and with whom — that is up to you.
The lowest-threshold start is an evening with a handful of people in your city. If you are not sure whether that is something for you: write to us anyway — or take a look at how you can get involved.
And if something on the new site strikes you as wrong or missing: that is exactly what the contact form is for.
