New structure & design of ESPA website Some principles for discussion ESPA team meeting 2 August 2017 Mairi Dupar

Review of website workflow Vast bulk of restructuring and redesign to meet our ‘legacy website’ needs must happen by November 2017 (c 17-20 Nov.) This is requirement of supplier availability and projected spend Only very minor bug-fixing, support to web editor (s) after that and Revamp of homepage (only) c. March 2018 = a cosmetic change

Global homepage November 2017 edition

About Projects Publications Multimedia Themes Countries Homepage slider with latest news and blogs highlighted [similar to at present] Latest news and blogs *Manually curated list: room for ‘teaser’ as well as headline + image. Link to view all Events *Manually curated list: room for ‘teaser’ as well as headline + image. Link to view all Latest impact story Latest video Latest publication Twitter feed For researchers & academics For policy-makers & practitioners For grantholders Projects Regions Communicating your work Publications Policy briefs During your project Situational analyses Impact stories

Homepage proposals, Nov 2017 edition Main change is on top menu bar, which is a site-wide change Add ‘themes’ and ‘countries’ Add ‘multimedia’ Remove ‘news and events’ from top menu bar as we move toward legacy Both news and events will now be primarily accessible via homepage ‘advert’ (signpost) Blogs will be accessible via themes and countries landing pages and filters

User journey to ESPA thematic results Entry point via top menu bar [mega menu] or via themes search page [simple menu click] ESPA thematic search results page

Thematic search options: tbc The thematic search filter will be a new option for end users We still need to establish how we are going to build this out: Via a ‘mega’ drop down menu from the top menu bar? Or via a landing page for themes where you drill into the theme you want? However we develop this navigation, we want users to eventually end up at a thematic RESULTS page as follows…

Project search proposals (1) We now cluster/organise projects and offer search functionalities that are going to make more sense to the end user: geographic filters thematic filters But – there are some things we can opt to keep [but as user journeys that are ‘secondary’ to the geographic and thematic filters] see next>

Project search proposals (2) How important that we keep these search categories in a secondary way?

Project search proposals (3) As things stand, it seems we should be able to keep this (but tbc) – any objections? Currently ‘nice to have’ not ‘essential’
