In The News internal site

I was tasked to produce an internal website to display newspaper clippings, online news articles, TV media and radio snippets generated by the media team. The website had to be engaging and interactive for staff, easy to use for the media team to upload multiple formats of articles, and the posts needed to expire after 3 months to comply with copyright restrictions.

I used WordPress to create a clean minimalist front end, and custom post types, and custom field plugins to create easy-to-use interfaces for the media team to upload to. I separated online/print articles, audio and TV/video into separate post types to allow each to be displayed most optimally. Online and print articles provided a space to upload a photo, a short description and link to a pdf or the online version of the article. Radio and podcast audio displayed as a embedded player, with a short description and photo if required. Video displayed as a YouTube player or similar, including a still shot of the video.

  • WordPress customisation – CSS, HTML, PHP
  • Implemented custom post types and custom fields
  • Installed relevant plugins and testing for ease of use
  • Usability testing

Scientific subsites

Researchers at QIMR Berghofer sought my expertise to construct websites to promote recruitment for their research studies. The D-Health and OPAL studies engaged patients and health professionals alike. These websites were designed to align with the QIMR Berghofer main website design and align with the visual guidelines of the QIMR Berghofer brand. I developed, wrote and edited the copy for these sites as well as editing content in brochures and collateral.

QIMR Berghofer CMS changeover

QIMR Berghofer’s website was previously a static HTML website that was edited through Adobe Dreamweaver. A new propriety CMS was being implemented to solve this issue, but the homepage was still under consultation, and buy-in for content transfer and editing was minimal.
