HIPSO Wordpress site

Wordpress site for The Harmonized Indicators for Private Sector Operations

A few details

Project Description

Develop a WordPress site to publish the 27 reporting indicators for IFIs’ shared clients, down from some 400 initially reviewed.

How we solved it

Our approach

Using a variety of custom and adapted off-the-shelf plug-ins, the indicators can be easily maintained.

Research

We took this site from a previous developer who couldn’t complete the project. It was still in its infancy, so we had a lot of flexibility in being able to re-define it and work from the previous effort.

Loving it

The site received high praise from the stakeholders who had now a place to go to for the latest news and changes to indicators.

Planning

The client wanted to have their site have a similar feel then another site we developed. This allowed the project to stay within budget and it was quicker to launch.

SEO

We installed a popular SEO plug-in allowing the site to be discovered by users when searching some key words. The site went from not appearing in the first 3 pages of a Google search list to showing towards the top of the search list within a few days.

Development

We re-built it using a good base template and added some key plug-ins to allow for users to research the indicators.

Security

Due to the large reputational risks, we added two levels of defense to the site. The few times we had an attack, it was pushed back without compromising the site and its content.

Monitoring

We also work with an outside provider firm specializing in security and hacking so that the site is monitored 24/7 .
