Portfolio

The objectives of this project were to redevelop the Prime Minster's website with the following features:

• to provide the Prime Minister with a platform to engage directly with the public;
• to allow non-technical staff to update the website content using the award winning Open Source CMS, Drupal;
• to improve transparency; accountability and efficiency of government by utilizing Web 2.0 technologies.

The objective of this project was to redevelop the Department’s website and incorporate a number of previously free-standing sites. The specific goals of the project can be summarised as follows:

• redevelop the navigation to make it more usable, more accessible and more intuitive;
• design a new look and feel;
• increase discoverability of resources that were previously difficult to find;
• re-purpose content to remove deprecated code and better comply with accepted web standards.

The Department of Finance and Deregulation engaged OPC to redevelop and integrate their Portfolio Minister’s websites. OPC undertook designing, building and migrating existing content from the previous websites. OPC maintains the websites and is continually making improvements.

The National Police Memorial was dedicated in September 2006. It honours Australian Police Officers who have died as a result of their duties.

The site features a photo gallery and a searchable honour roll.

The ACT Division of the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) needed a website to communicate with their members and the general public.

The site incorporates an e-commerce facility that allows users to join or renew their membership and to register for events and purchase magazine subscriptions.

The Alcohol and other Drugs Council of Australia (ADCA) is the peak, national, non-government organisation representing the interests of the Australian alcohol and other drugs sector.

Their website allows users to subscribe to publications and features a members section for document sharing. It also features a large drug database from which users can request publications.

The Cattle Council of Australia is the peak producer organisation representing Australia's beef cattle producers.

Their website is an important communication tool because of the widely dispersed audience that they represent.

Cattle Council staff update the site themselves using the Drupal Content Management System (CMS).

Developed using the award winning Drupal CMS, the site redevelopment gave the Marist College Canberra website a more modern look and feel, whilst at the same time adding new functionality and the ability for staff and students to update their website in-house.
