World Malaria Day

www.worldmalariaday.org

This site was produced for PR company Ruder Finn for World Malaria Day 2009 which was on April 25th.

In the words of the site itself: "The World Malaria Day website has been established to help individuals and civil society contribute to the achievement of the Global Malaria Action Plan goals, through the establishment of a dynamic and interactive information and advocacy portal."

It contains an array of functionality such as:

• Users can add posts to various sections of the site or add comments to an existing post.
• The client has administrative access to modify or delete any of the content on the dynamic sections of the site.
• A tag cloud was custom built to enable users to see which are the most popular themes within the site's posts.
• Uploaded pictures appear at random within a photo stream on the site.
• There is a live link with the World Malaria Day Twitter page.
• A customised Google map appears on the Count Me In page showing the number of people from each country who have signed up to 'count malaria out'.
• A live news feed has been added to the header to show the latest posts within the Live section of the site.
• Implementation of captchas on all form pages to prevent abuse of the system by spam bots.
