Website strategy, UX, and content organisation concepts

Website strategy

The website strategy uses the FORCE11 Mission and Principles, and the organisational priorities (goals) identified in the 2021 Organisation Strategic Review (ITAV). These are then put into a UX Personas planning and evaluation process. Each organiational area or committee then works with the UX and personas process for its use the site.

• Website strategy - Executive Summary

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)
