Journalists’ Union website

The Journalists' Union is a strong and independent professional organisation founded and led by its members. The Journalists' Union website was outdated, and challenges were observed both in content management and discoverability.

The goal of the website redesign was to meet accessibility requirements, address members’ needs and preferences, and provide a modern, brand-consistent visual design with functional language versions. An easily navigable archive for materials, particularly for collective agreements, was also desired.

The project was initiated with concept workshops to review the website’s target audiences, objectives, use cases, and visual constraints.

During the design phase, prototypes were created for both mobile and desktop views. Feedback was extensively gathered from within the Journalists’ Union before starting the technical implementation.

The implementation phase was carried out in four sprints, with three dedicated to development work and the final sprint focused on migrating articles from the old site to the new one. Technically, the website is built with Gutenberg blocks, a material repository, and an event section, with content integrated from Lyyti.

Results

The completed website is AA-level accessible, energy-efficient, and available in multiple languages. At the time of launch, the site scored a perfect 100 in all categories using the Google Lighthouse tool.
