Activate Solution

Using the assets provided but ICI, Activate built a highly visual site presenting a concise snapshot of the ICI and its purposes. The site is built using the latest  best practices for W3c compliance and search engine optimization.

One of the key features of the site is the real time map at the bottom of the home page provides a clear geographical view of ICI projects. Hovering over any of the projects on the map provides an information abstract on that project while clicking a point gives full information.

In building the new ICI site, Activate Media used the following core software:

• Activate CMS that allows full control of all aspects of the website
• Activate Newsletter system
• Activate Image Gallery
• Activate Blog system
• Google Maps for customised map display
