UESI goes live
Announcing the new Craft CMS/Laravel web app we designed and developed for the Urban Environment & Social Inclusion Index (UESI), a data analysis body based in North Carolina, USA.
The Urban Environment & Social Inclusion Index (UESI) is a project operated by the Data-Driven EnviroLab and funded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.
The project we undertook was the design and development of a new Craft CMS/Laravel web app, to replace the previous Wordpress site, that provided a better experience for users and site editors and made better use of their statistical data by presenting it in a range of interactive visualisations for each City they had data for.
The new site’s design took inspiration from the existing logo - particularly the squares used to represent a City skyline but also data points in a graph - and colour palette with elements of both reflected throughout the new site.
The web app is integrated with Dataverse, which is where the Cities data is stored and managed by the UESI team, and that data is imported into the site to populate the table and graphs on the various City pages that can be accessed via the map on the homepage and the Cities page.
We’re really proud of the new UESI site and thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at the Data-Driven EnviroLab and we’re already looking forward to enhancing and expanding the site in the years ahead.
If you’re considering a similar project then feel free to reach out to us to start a conversation.
