Award Winning
Website Revamp
Winner of Best Association Website and Best Website and Integration
In June 2017, UICC launched a brand-new website to support its purpose of uniting the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity, and to integrate cancer into the world health and development agenda. The website was re-built from the ground up into a modern, dynamic, flexible, accessible, and user-friendly platform built by and for the cancer community.
The aim was to enhance the user experience through better navigation by setting in place powerful search tools, better categorisation and tagging of content. In short, it has become a ‘living, breathing website’ packed with top-quality content that is easy for the cancer community to find, discover and use. We also introduced many new innovative features, such as Social live, a social media hub for the global cancer community, an alerts system, providing regularly returning visitors a place to quickly identify new content, a news aggregation feed, featuring the latest news and many other new improvements.
Charles Andrew Revkin led the project from start to finish.
The European Association Awards Judging Panel 2018 had the following to say about the website:
"A well structured, easy to navigate, informative website that offers great interactivity. Really complete at first sight - very user friendly."
The judges' comments on uicc.org for the 'Best Website & Integration' category were:
“The website was very well designed to user needs. The data showed a very great increase in use, with additional halo effect."
