Latest migration
Create NSW
For the Create NSW website migration, there was focused on making content more appealing to a diverse audience of artists, art and cultural workers, organisations and communities.
The content has been uplifted significantly, with many highlights to be proud of.
- We reviewed, consolidated and reduced content from 950 to 110 pages.
- Design improvements include a more contemporary look and feel, bigger images, mini galleries and tiles catering to a visual web audience.
- Introduction of summaries, sub-headings, side navigation, additional text-based links and a table of contents make it quicker and easier to find and scan the pages.
- Shorter and more succinct sentences make the text easier to digest. The new pages are welcoming and have no assumed knowledge.
- The pages are now optimised for mobile.
- New automated listings give readers the latest news, grants and resources with no manual updates needed by content authors.
- Create’s popular grants and funding section has been improved via integration with the nsw.gov.au Grants and Funding finder. The finder is easy to access, navigate and has improved transparency. The new get started and info for funding recipient pages appeal to a more diverse audience.
