Project Background |
The previous GIKI website (v30.3) information architecture and visual design were implemented by Mohammad Nasrullah (2003-2005) and his team in 2004. The website, during its run, was awarded the Best Institutional Website in Pakistan Award by NETSOL (2005) and also gained much acclaim in the SPIDER Internet Magazine (March, 2007 ed.).
Despite the accolades and its towering reputation as a student-developed and in-house website in its running span of four years, the GIKI Webteam unanimously felt that there were still a number of opportunities for further improvements. Upgrading the Server machine to enhance performance, deploying an improved/revised content management system (CMS), improving upon the website navigational structure, developing a clear user focus, increasing the dynamic proportioning of content, search engine optimization, bringing in an aesthetic makeover etc. were a few of the many floated ideas.
