Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster – Accelerating Canada’s Future
Our Web Team designed and developed a new website to showcase Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster’s 2020 Annual Report. Our goal was to present their goals, past and future projects, and milestones in a single-page website that was easy to navigate and understand while being visually compelling.
A DIGITAL REPORT FOR A DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY SUPERCLUSTER (DTS)
The annual report, which is typically in print form got a makeover this year as the DTS wanted to truly represent what they stood for. Our main challenge was tackling how to best represent all projects, summaries, and statements from leaders in a single-page website without being too text-heavy and confusing for the users. To achieve this, we used very clear and bold section dividers to guide the user through the page. We developed a few interactive sections where users can click-through to learn more about certain projects as well as a user-controlled timeline of milestones. The website was developed in both English and French.
MOMENTUM.
The theme for the annual report was “Momentum.” The team played with thin-to-bold typography to illustrate growth, keeping within the theme. We incorporated subtle animations to show constant movement. “Accelerating Canada’s Future in the wake of Covid-19.” Knowing that the website was going to involve a lot of text content, we chose a font that was clean and easy to read on all devices and could convey clear hierarchy as needed.
