Transforming eParliament’s Digital Presence with Strategic Website Design

How structured website design & development strengthened governance communication and institutional authority.

Government Technology:

eParliament

Challenges:

The current platform was not structured in terms of content hierarchy, intuitive management and scalable architecture. Limited accessibility to complex governance information reduced clarity, stakeholder participation and the capacity of the platform to capture institutional breadth and digital trustworthiness.

Goals:

The main objective of this partnership was to design and develop a well structured and responsive digital platform that would promote communication within the institution and increase accessibility to all stakeholders. The main issue was to simplify information on governance and establish a scalable platform capable of supporting long term growth.

Background

eParliament is a governance project which was to focus on facilitating organised discussion, institutional openness and active citizen involvement. With an increasing digital presence, there was also the need to have a more organised and future ready digital platform. The former site was not able to display the overlaying policy information and governance materials in a comprehensible and informative manner.

To overcome these limitations, eParliament engaged the services of Orestes in providing end to end website design and development services to its institutions. Such changes were not limited to the redesign of the visual look of the site but also the restructuring of the manner in which information concerning governance would be organised, accessed and received by the policymakers, contributors and the public.

There needed to be a fine line between digital simplicity and institutional complexity in the project. The credibility of the governance was to be improved by the new platform as well, which combines the structured content architecture with the user experience design that is easy to use and improves the usability and scalability in the long run.

 

Our approach

A Structured, Multi Phase Execution Framework for Scalable Digital Transformation

01

Strategic Exploration and Finding

In depth consultations were held to determine the objectives of governance and the stakeholder priorities of communication.

02

Information Structuring and Architecture

A logical navigation structure and a clear hierarchy of the content were done for the flow of complex information that is policy driven.

03

UI/UX Enhancement

A professional visual system was introduced, featuring clean layouts, refined typography and simplified user journeys.

04

Platform Development

A secure, flexible and performance driven technical architecture was adopted to meet the long term content expansion.

05

Performance Optimization

The speed of loading, backend responsiveness and cross device compatibility were maximized so as to assure consistent usage across devices.

06

Testing & Launch Support

The constant testing on browsers and devices was the guarantee of the stable implementation and the platform stability in the long term.
