Mediawijs

In 2021, Wieni developed mediawijs.be for imec, after successfully launching medianest.be and deschaalvanm.be. Mediawijs is the Flemish Knowledge Center for Digital and Media Literacy and helps people in Flanders to use digital technology and media actively, creatively, critically and consciously.

About the project

For the new Mediawijs website, imec was looking for a partner skilled in design and development and to support their broader strategy. The goal was to create a user-centric site that helps people in Flanders to use digital technology and media actively, creatively, critically and consciously. The CMS offers editors the flexibility to address daily news and training. Additionally, there was a strong emphasis on enhancing accessibility and SEO.

Wieni was involved from the very start. Our involvement included conducting workshops, creating interface and visual designs, handling backend and frontend development, providing hosting, managing the domain name, and ensuring SLA coverage (on weekdays during office hours). Consequently, we became an engaged partner for Mediawijs, proactively seeking improvements and optimizations for both users and content editors. We continue to make ongoing enhancements to mediawijs.be.
