PPC turned to Graphicacy to revitalize and relaunch their database, depict the data in a compelling manner, and provide guidance for maintenance and enhancements.
Graphicacy’s wide-ranging expertise proved an ideal match for such a large and multi-faceted project, which included:
- Facilitating a technical discovery and data consultation geared toward architecting the most efficient and performant technology stack for their back- and front-end data needs
- Designing and developing a survey intake form and entry system for data partners to input and streamline the data collection process, including multi-lingual entries
- Training PPC staff and data partners through video and reference documentation to ensure the proper hand-off and guidance for maintaining the solution
- Launching the GlobalPlasticLaws.org website with a UX/UI and information design lens
- Designing and building a map-based database explorer
- Creating a content management system in WordPress with the incorporation of WordPress-native add-ons and plugins to monitor analytics and performance
At the heart of Graphicacy’s data solutions was Airtable, which the Graphicacy team deployed to simplify the process of creating forms from databases. Airtable offered a user-friendly, no-code approach that streamlined form-building and the data entry experience for all users.
Graphicacy also focused on training PPC’s team to manage ongoing maintenance and updates on their own. They created training videos for PPC and provided instruction on using Airtable.
By partnering with Graphicacy, PPC was able to launch the revamped Global Plastic Laws website in time for UN’s Plastic Treaty negotiations, making the data easily digestible for audiences that included negotiators, legislators and staff, as well as for members from congresses or city councils.
