Building an accessible public-sector website that could keep growing.
Form won a government tender to create a microsite for the Social Mobility Commission, then expanded the successful platform into a fuller website and wider communications support.
A bespoke public-sector platform with accessibility, governance and long-term expansion built in.
The initial project required the discipline of a government tender process as well as a site able to present social-mobility toolkits, news and organisational information clearly.
Although described as a microsite, the build needed the features and flexibility of a much larger content platform.
Work inside an established public-sector brand rather than reinventing it.
The Commission already had fixed visual guidelines, so Form focused on clear page structures, accessibility and useful presentation rather than creating a new identity.
XD prototypes allowed the team to review the experience before development.

The work in motion.
Build bespoke toolkit areas inside a manageable WordPress CMS.
The site included responsive content areas, news/events/blog functionality and a directory where organisations could submit information.
The WordPress build gave the internal team straightforward control of content after launch.
Grow the microsite into a wider public-facing platform.
Following the initial success, Form continued to add toolkits and pages and supported the Commission with report design.
The work expanded from one digital project into broader communications across web and print.
A public-sector website that could expand its content and reach without losing accessibility.
The initial microsite became the foundation for a larger website and an ongoing relationship across digital and report design.
