The original site was produced for World Malaria Day 2009 via PR company Ruder Finn and a completely revised site for the 2010 day including a separate French version of the site.

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 news and resources to 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.
  • 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.
