Global Witness Relaunched
8th June 2007
Global Witness' site is restructured with a media library and multi language content ability.
Global Witness exposes the corrupt exploitation of natural resources and international trade systems, to drive campaigns that end impunity, resource-linked conflict, and human rights and environmental abuses.
With Fat Beehive having managed the Global Witness website for a number of years, the redesign challenge was to refresh, renew and restructure the site keeping some elements and the feel of the old site. We needed to reflect Global Witness' complicated organisational structure in a logical and clearly understandable website structure.
We also had to tackle the website's language needs - only certain pages and areas of the website would need multiple language versions of pages available.
Through a long running discussion with Global Witness, we drew out a structure of the website that reflected the organisation. Independent Forest Monitoring was separate and distinct from their other campaigns, and this lead to the forming of a simple main navigation that immediately leads the user to the core activities of Global Witness.
The site wide Media Library helps organise Global Witness' reports, documents, press releases and audio/video content. The media library exists pervasively across the website; it applies to specific campaigns and sections and it can apply to all campaigns as a plural resource within the site.
For example, you can access the media library from the front page of the site, searching all content via the categories; reports/documents, press releases and audio/video content. And you can access the media library when in a particular campaign or section, viewing information limited to that campaign or section, again across the categories mentioned above.
Multiple language versions of pages are set up through the Content Management System on a page by page basis, meaning that Global Witness staff can create the relevant language translated pages only where necessary, and do not have to run multiple versions of the website fully translated into other languages.
