Web Dev: Website strategy, UX process, and content models

A. Website strategy

The website strategy uses the following as its basis — FORCE11 Mission and Principles, and the organisational priorities (goals) identified in the 2021 Organisation Strategic Review (based on the process of It Takes a Village — ITAV). These are then put into a UX Personas planning and evaluation process. Each organizational area or committee then works with the UX and personas process to steer its site use.

The current strategy can be summarized as:

  • Turnaround digital presence from survive to thrive: Technical overhead of Drupal has prevented wider development input from organisation and community
  • Introduce UX working methods
  • Rationalize: technology, graphic design resources, tool chains, and knowledge management (AKA documentation)

B. UX process

Brief intro on how personas are used to drive development and evaluation.

These are very broad categories. Specific site areas (Posts, Membership, Groups, etc.) will use three personas each to evaluate needs and performance.

  • Global south scholars
  • Open science community
  • Community decision makers
  • Open infrastructure builders
  • Funders
  • Humanities and STEM scholars
  • Scholarly publishers
