Queensland Museum
Queensland Museum is the custodian of the state’s natural and cultural heritage. We were commissioned to redesign and develop their website so that its potential as a learning resource and as a revenue stream were fully realised.
Our design created a consistent look across their seven websites and continues to present a significant amount of content in a logical, highly intuitive fashion. The new site is more efficient for staff and users alike, and the Sitecore CMS is seamlessly integrated with their digital collection storage software Vernon.
UNHCR Emergency Response Team
To strengthen the organisations engagement with existing donors and attract broader groups of supporters, Reading Room created an online identity for UNHCR Emergency Response Team that reflects the crisis-orientated, efficient, fast paced, involved nature of their work. Their new digital offering steers users on a journey from interest to action, transforming site visitors into advocates by giving UNHCR the means for a robust, online support community.
Standard Business Reporting
Reading Room delivered a revamped website to support the Federal Government's ambitious $200 million Standard Business Reporting project. The SBR project aims to dramatically cut red tape by automating the way businesses file their financial paperwork. The website features a new design, an improved information architecture and enhanced content including video. At the back end is the user friendly Sitecore content management system.
Australian Museum
Looking to be the first place people visit when exploring the nature and varying cultures of Australia, the Australian museum wanted to attract more visitors to the website and, ultimately, the museum. We completely overhauled their previous site to bring the Museums' wealth of information, activities and resources into the 21st century. Their new online identity attracts a worldwide audience where users are also encouraged to comment and interact, both with each other and the Museum.
National Archives of Australia
The National Archives of Australia asked Reading Room to implement the enterprise level Content Management System Tridion and integrate this with the NAA Records and Documents Management System, TRIM context. Information architecture, page design and content layout was also analyzed and restyled with careful focus on the end user and attention to detail and with adherence to standards compliance, usability and accessibility.
VicUrban
Reading Room consulted with residents, stakeholders and local workers and then built a site that is able to evolve, expand and develop into the future to meet the needs of its users. The site includes features that enable members of the local community to submit user generated content and take advantage a powerful personalisation functions. The site has had a very high participation rate from both the local businesses and residents.
The Benevolent Society
In consultation with Benevolent Society staff Reading Room conducted a series of user group interviews and consultation sessions that enabled us to create a website structure that more accurately addressed the concerns and needs of a wide user community. We developed a bespoke CMS and also worked with The Benevolent Society's branding agency to make the site consistent with their brand identity. The website has become an extremely well functioning tool and has been positively received by the Benevolent Society community.
NSW Commission for Children & Young People
The NSW Commission for Children and Young People asked Reading Room to redesign its site with improved information architecture to cater for a wide audience from children to government decision-makers. The new site is simple, colourful and meets high levels of usability and accessibility. Features of the new site include a closed discussion forum, online booking of meeting rooms, online purchases of various publications, a flash-based games/activities section in addition to content manageable pages.
NSW Adult Migrant Education Service
NSW AMES asked Reading Room to design and develop a new site for them because they needed a team who were skilled in usability and accessibility, and could be relied upon to build a site that would comply with the tight NSW Government Style Guidelines for website design. We developed a new AMES brand, applied it to a range of corporate material and then went to work on the website. The newly developed site is user-friendly, and easy to understand for people with limited English. The new AMES site also included a custom built shopping cart that allows users to purchase publications and course licences which is available in 15 different languages.
