Inform and service six different audiences through one website

Aquafin has a total of six types of stakeholders, ranging from local governments to private individuals, pupils and PhD students. Through one website, they have to service all of these audiences and offer them the right information as quickly and efficiently as possible.

How we achieved our goal

After extensive user research, we constructed a clear information architecture that makes sense for every stakeholder. We created an intuitive visual language and captured it in a style guide alongside a new tone of voice. After wireframing and designing, we built the website with Drupal 8, integrated it with Flexmail and linked it with the governmental maintenance planning tool Gipod.
