Foreign Commonwealth Office

Having produced the original site in 1998, we were asked to create an updated version to take into account the increased usage of the web on a global basis and the opportunities this provides.

The site is designed to portray a more human face for the FCO whilst proactively demonstrating the online services the FCO offers (e.g. travel advice, speeches, forums, country profiles and a documents database).

Key to the planning and ultimate success of the site is information designed to create understanding and debate around complex policy issues within a templated structure that allows rapid response to global events.

The site uses an Open Market content management system to allow assets/information to be shared across a wide variety of other FCO sites.
