CISCE

CISCE Portal
At the time the website was designed, it was not clear how it would evolve. The content on the website, during the past 2 years of maintenance grew immensely. The articles published, in most sections, were difficult to find and reach. The portal was designed without anticipating the content that would be required to manage in future. The design and structure was not able to accommodate the growing number of articles and sections. Also the design did not highlight new articles that were being posted. It also lacked consistency and visual interest.
My challenge was to redesign the portal and achieve the dual objectives of scalability and visual appeal.
