Creating a user-friendly interface for more than 280 initiatives in just 6 weeks
About this project
Eurofound partnered with Imaginary Cloud to build a new website for their Economy Database. Their goal was to make the content of this database more easily accessible to its users and increase its usage.
Result: the new interface delivered modern-looking and easy-to-navigate information, providing information snippets about each article and filtering tools.

Based in Dubling, Ireland, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) is a European Union Agency, whose role is to provide knowledge to assist in the development of better social, employment and work-related policies.
Their website provides information, advice and expertise on working conditions and sustainable work, industrial relations, labour market change and quality and life and public services, to support the EU Institutions and bodies, Member States and Social Partners in shaping and implementing social and employment policies, as well as promoting social dialogue on the basis of comparative information, research and analysis.
Eurofound partnered with Imaginary Cloud to develop a front-end interface based on python for the already existing database of economic news. It needed to ensure an easy user navigation, readily available information to promote readership and efficient front-end and back-end integration.

Eurofound needed to ensure that the interface integrated seamlessly with the existing database and infrastructure. Also, the visuals needed to be aligned with the existing website and brand guidelines. To reduce cost and allow for faster delivery, Imaginary Cloud was able to deliver this with just one developer.

TECHNOLOGIES used
To develop the frontend and backend. The frontend displayed the information in listing with the ability to search and filter, and the backend fetched the application and updated the files through a cronojob developed in Python.
The application deployment was done in Azure, as requested by Eurofound.
Eurofound was looking for a turnkey solution that they could tailor to their needs. The agency wanted to bring the added value of technical know-how to ensure a high quality, future proof and efficient software. For this effect, we followed our Dedicated Team working model, composed by our Developer and a Project Manager. After the initial briefing meeting with the team, the team touched base daily with Eurofound and met on a weekly basis to review progress.
