WEBSITE : Development
Omamiwininì Pimàdjwowin is the online cultural community centre for the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan. The visual centerpiece of this website is an original illustrated timeline of the traditional Seven Fires by Algonquin artist Sylvia Tennisco, which captures the spirit and story of this First Nations community.
This bilingual English French website includes an interactive timeline with audio; a virtual museum of both archaic and historic artifacts; an Algonquin-English-French dictionary to which the client will add audio clips and images; two interactive games and a collection of lesson plans; a calendar of events and photo gallery, and a collection of e-books with related resources. The Our Story section features a downloadable PDF entitled The Invisible People.
The Design House team designed and programmed this dynamic website incorporating a client-administered, back-end custom Content Management System (CMS). The site was built to the strict guidelines defined by the Canadian Culture Online Technical Guide.
This project was funded and critiqued by Canadian Heritage, whose coordinator
provided the following feedback:
"This is a well-designed, graphically intelligent website that uses gorgeous
colours and generally follows all Tech Requirements.
I've suggested to our senior technical specialist that your site be used
for internal training
sessions, and as a great example of good work for 2008-2009 Partnership Fund
projects. Believe me, we love to see quality work like yours when it happens!"
