Website design began with creating content - in this case, a slide deck. My task was to translate complex information into neat visualisations in order to bring clarity and focus.
This content was later used in the website.
First, I printed out slides in order to create an information architecture. It helped me to make better decisions how to organise content and do it fast.
Finally, I used a design system provided by client’s design team to create UI.
Because this was an internal communication project, the design requirements were not so strict.
Therefore I was able to add new design elements which suited information design better while still matching overall brand style.
Having all the content created prior the website design was incredibly useful and efficient. I was able to decide on the lowest number of required design elements (which saved time for developers) and not sacrifice content at the same time.
The website launched in time for the Tech Strategy roll-out. Managers were able to contribute by adding their own content with the provided design system and CMS.
