Web Services Portfolio
Titan Property Services is a progressive local company that required an eye-catching catalogue site. OPC designed and developed their website using the latest Drupal 7 CMS. Titan decided to use OPC's secure hosting services in addition to the design and development of the website.
In 2011 OPC re-developed the website for ASET Wealth Management. As a local Canberra business they required a website that was warm. friendly and welcoming. The website was designed and developed using the award winning Drupal CMS.
Media Access Australia is Australia’s only independent not-for-profit organisation devoted to increasing access to media for people with disabilities. OPC was brought onboard to create a website which showcases the latest web technologies and innovative design while still meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 'AA' standard.
Built using Drupal's Open Source Content Management System (CMS) the key focus was accessibility. Accessibility not only enhances a website for people with disabilities, but also improves its usability and search engine optimisation.
Sarah Pulis, Media Access Australia's New Media Manager commented, “One of the challenges with using an open source CMS such as Drupal is that the modules you use to add functionality may not create accessible code. We were very fortunate that our developers had a very good understanding of web accessibility and of Drupal which made our lives much easier."
“Contrary to popular belief, building an accessible website doesn't only benefit people with disabilities. An accessible website makes it more usable for all"
In 2011, OPC redeveloped the Police Association of NSW (PANSW) website with a refreshed website design and new streamlined interface for PANSW staff to manage their own content. OPC developers used the Drupal CMS to create a secure members area, allowing PANSW to provide members with special offers and access to members only information.
The goals of this project were as follows:
- to refresh the feel with a more modern, streamlined look;
- to create a secure area where members can login and gain access to special offers and members-only information;
- provide a more intuitive user interface, allowing non-technical staff to update content; and
- provide an equivalent styled template for users browsing on smartphones.
OPC delivered the website ahead of schedule and provided comprehensive training for PANSW staff.
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.
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).
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 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 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 Police Federation of Australia (PFA) website uses the Drupal open source Content Management System (CMS). The system allows PFA staff to update the site themselves without knowing HTML and includes modules that are restricted to members only.
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council approached OPC to design and develop a website that would assist their members in keeping up to date with latest industry news as well as being an avenue for further education. OPC undertook the whole process of scoping, design, build and delivery and now maintains the website as requested with an OPC eBusiness Support Pak.
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 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 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.
