WordPress In-Action: CGIAR NGO

10 July 2012 by David Coveny 4 Comments

Project Website:

CGIAR

What is the website for?

The website is designed to act as both the main site for the CGIAR NGO, and as a hub for the huge range of content made available by all the consortium members.

The Brief:

The brief was, in effect, this list:

  1. Web design based on the new branding guidelines
  2. Designs for page layouts, style elements, typography, graphical elements
  3. Unify and clearly present the information generated by the various Centres and CRPs
  4. Create a central entry point for visitors to find the main governing bodies of CGIAR
  5. Shift the emphasis from ‘the institution’ to ‘content and research’
  6. Increase the unity of the Centres, CRPs, Fund and Consortium Office through consistent design and branding
  7. Communicate clearly what CGIAR is and what it does

There was, of course, a lot more to it than that and in the meetings that followed we realised that a good responsive design was a must – even if it can be a massive challenge on a complex site. We also knew that widgets had to work flexible – if a widget space was small, the widget should respond to that – responsive within responsive, if you see what I mean. That means the chances of a user putting a widget somewhere and messing up a page is pretty slim, so long as it’s one of our widgets, that is – some plugins have their own ideas!
