OCFI

Official Web Portal for Institutional Communications, Publications and Event Registration

Overview

Official Web Portal for Institutional Communications, Publications and Event Registration

Javapixa designed and built the official web portal for OCFI: one place for the organisation to publish press releases, organisational updates and official publications, and to open event registration. It is built on WordPress so the OCFI team publishes for itself rather than calling a developer each time there is news.

Challenge

The Problem

A portal like this serves several audiences at once. Members come for updates and event registration, partners come for publications and official positions, and the general public usually arrives from a single news link and only wants to establish who the organisation is. Putting all of that in one content stream makes it harder for all three.

Solution

The information architecture follows the audience rather than the content type, so press releases, official publications and events each get their own path. Event registration is handled on the portal itself instead of being pushed to a separate channel. Everything runs through the CMS, so publishing is routine team work rather than a technical request.

KeyFeatures

[01]

Press Room

A dedicated channel for press releases and organisational updates, kept separate from official publications, which have a longer shelf life.

[02]

Official Publications

Documents and official publications get their own space, so they stay findable once the news around them is no longer current.

[03]

Event Registration

Registration runs on the same portal, so an attendee is not handed off to another service part-way through.

[04]

Audience-Led Structure

Members, partners and the general public each have their own way in, rather than one combined stream to filter themselves.

[05]

In-House Publishing

All content is managed through the CMS, making publication routine work for the communications team.
