As reports are published, it was our intent that the design facilitate organization. Though there’s a high-level narrative being threaded, each report spans 10-15 topics that, at times, only loosely relate to one another. To create contrast between sections, each topic is assigned a unique color in WordPress. To unify the sections, the layout of each component is consistent.
Using WordPress as a base, we built layers of custom fields, administration UI, and logic to not only enable efficient management of the site, but also the ability to create entirely new sections and substantial rearrangements.
Every small block of content, or component, in the site comes with its own interface in the administration UI to help ensure consistency. In order to accommodate social media campaign drives, we made every component reachable at its own URL, while also linking to the main page in which it normally lives. No duplication of content, just smart coding.
