Pasifika and Māori Health and Wellbeing Strategy Website

Overview

Brisbane South PHN, Metro South Health and Children's Health Queensland worked with local community service providers on a shared strategy to support Pasifika and Māori peoples to thrive. As Brisbane South PHN's exclusive web development partner, we designed, built and maintain the strategy's website, working with Malu Creative, a 100% Indigenous-owned and operated web designer.

The website connects community members and Pasifika and Māori peoples with resources, a services search engine and updates on the strategy.

Challenges

1. Cultural Sensitivity: The design needed to reflect Pasifika and Māori culture respectfully.

2. Design Partnership: We worked with Malu Creative on the design, keeping one consistent look for the strategy.

3. Finding Services: Community members needed an easy way to find local services.

Solution

1. Discovery & Strategy: We worked with the stakeholders to agree on the project goals and design direction.

2. Content & Sitemap: The content and sitemap were planned first, and the site was built around them.

3. Wireframes & Design: We created wireframes from the page structure, and Malu Creative designed the site. Both were formally signed off before development.

4. Services Search: A searchable directory of local services, powered by Algolia.

5. Statamic Development: We built the site in Statamic from the signed-off design, with technical SEO and 301 redirects from the old site.

6. Testing & Launch: Cross-browser, cross-device and responsive testing, then launch with no downtime.

Key Features Implemented:

• Services search engine
• Resources library
• Strategy updates
• Responsive design
• Technical SEO
• 301 redirects from the old site

Results

1. Culturally Sensitive Design: The website reflects Pasifika and Māori culture and the goals of the strategy.

2. Easier To Find Services: Community members can search for local services and find resources in one place.

3. Strategy Updates Online: The strategy partners have one place to share updates with the community.
