Context & Challenge

The secretariat requested a website that makes uploading and reading news simple. The challenge was to design a news section that is easy for the admin to update, and clear for the public to browse.

Problem Statement

How might we design a website that non-technical staff can easily update, while ensuring a clear and credible experience for the public?

Goals

1. Accessibility

Public users: Quick and clear access to news & publications.

2. Simplicity

Admin users: A minimal dashboard with only the essentials.

3. Consistency

Unified typography, color, and reusable components.

Process – Research & Information Architecture

By benchmarking institutional websites, we identified pain points and simplified the structure into a clear Information Architecture (IA) that reduced complexity for both users and admins.

Process – Iteration & Design System Lite

We translated wireframes into hi-fi mockups and developed a lightweight design system. Reusable components (cards, dropdowns, etc) ensured visual consistency and faster handoff to development.

Solution – Final UI

The result: a responsive, clean interface where content is easy to find and the hierarchy is clear.

Solution – Admin Dashboard

The CMS was built using Filament, chosen for its lightweight structure and ease of use. Only two modules were needed: News and Publications.

Impact / Outcome

Live website launched quickly with minimal overhead.
Non-technical staff can independently upload content.
Clean, modern look compared to other institutional websites..
