Brotherhood of St Laurence

The Brotherhood of St Laurence is a welfare organisation that is working towards a vision of an Australia free of poverty through research, services and advocacy. JSA was engaged to design and create a new website that will strengthen the long-term viability of the organisation through influencing visitors, providing a centralised and advanced body of knowledge and increasing the capacities of paid and volunteer staff.

Working with key stakeholders, JSA Digital designed and built a bespoke CMS solution that dealt with the unique requirements of Brotherhood of Saint Laurence.

The CMS solution features a completely evolved authoring environment; multiple content creators are restricted in access according to their business role and user type. Restricted access image and document repositories allow content authors the use of approved material only. A comprehensive meta-data management system ensures all information is tagged for search engine retrieval using approved tags only.

The completed web solution offered visitors and supports alike a source of information that reflected the professionlism and vision of the Brotherhood. To aid in the engagement of users of all age and ability, the website had been developed to be W3C compliant to level W3C WAI priority 2(AA) and has been tested and approved by Vision Australia.

JSA were able to utilise its project methodologies and full design and development capabilities to provide a solution that exceeded the brief and expectations of the client.
