Cyan Solutions – Your Marketing Partner

Public policy has never looked so good

Cyan Solutions and the Public Policy Forum have had a great relationship for several years. So when it came time to consider a new direction for their website they contacted us to recreate their important online presence.

Technology

The new PPF website was required to be built on a content-managed platform. The site is updated on a daily basis with many people within the organization responsible for managing content. After taking this into consideration, along with their budget, we chose the open source CMS Drupal. Drupal was perfect for their needs and also flexible enough to accommodate future plans.

Planning

Sample wireframe from the planning process.

From our initial evaluation the PPF website contained many different types of content. All of which needed to be presented in a consistent manner throughout the site. Before any design or development was started, a detailed information architecture document was prepared for the client. Several versions later we had agreed upon an approach that addressed their goals of creating a modern and user-friendly experience.

Design

Design requirements were very clear from the start. They wanted a design that was fresh and vibrant but more importantly it needed to be clean and concise. With the large target audience they want to appeal to, making sure it's easy to find what you're looking was essential.

End Result

This project turned out to be a great success for us and the PPF. We were under a very tight timeline to launch the site in conjunction with a large annual dinner they host for over 1500 guests. Cyan Solutions delivered on time and exceeded their expectations.
