What we did
Key Features
A key feature of the project was the development of a comprehensive Resource Centre. This section includes advanced filtering and sorting functionality, making it simple for users to find relevant materials across a large and varied library. Each resource was built using modular components, ensuring consistency and allowing for easy reuse. This approach also helped maintain a fully responsive layout that adapts seamlessly to any screen size or browser.
Accessibility
Accessibility and performance were top priorities. The build emphasizes semantic HTML and a clear heading hierarchy to support screen readers, along with high-contrast text for improved readability — an important consideration given CLRI’s diverse audience. Images are automatically optimized, and caching strategies were implemented to ensure fast load times, even for users accessing the site in different network conditions.
Design
Visually, the design aligns with CLRI’s existing brand identity, incorporating their brand elements and colour palette while introducing a clean, professional layout suited to a healthcare and education audience. To maintain consistency as the site grows, templates and design patterns were created for basic content pages, resource listings, course pages, and news items, ensuring new content can be added easily while preserving the visual structure.
Collaboration & Outcomes
This project was carried out in close collaboration with CLRI stakeholders from the outset, helping to clarify goals early and avoid unnecessary rework. The final product delivers a clear, accessible, and efficient user experience — improving the visibility of key resources and allowing users to quickly find what they need.
