⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Website

Information Architecture

The information architecture is designed in a way that content on arts and humanities can be accessed directly by country, themes, and contributors coupled with CTA buttons for donations, signing up for newsletter, partnering and joining the team.

Homepage

When Focillon was launched, the goal was to provide free cultural content/sites on map and hence entire homepage was designed around helping visitors explore, search and filter points of interests by country, theme, contributors.

After a year of operation, Focillon decided to offer research and consultancy services. The new homepage embraces Focillon’s evolution towards a non-profit consultancy. The layout reflects three offerings they’re now involved in: 1) editorial & design, 2) audit & foresight, 3) Humanities team building & training.
