The Project
ISCOD-UGT needed a digital home for Ropa Sucia, a documentary accompanied by an educational guide. The website was designed to host the documentary’s content, collect testimonies and serve as an ongoing news hub for the project.
Scope & Responsibilities
Web development & content: Built the website in WordPress — defining the information architecture, content structure and user experience to support both the documentary presentation and the ongoing publication of news and testimonies.
User panel configuration: Set up and configured the content management panel so that ISCOD’s communications team could publish and update content independently after handover — adapting the backend to their level of technical familiarity.
Training & handover: Once the site was live, trained the organisation’s communications lead on how to use WordPress — covering content upload, news management and basic site maintenance. The goal was full editorial autonomy for the organisation, not ongoing dependency on an external provider.
What This Project Demonstrates
The training component of this project reflects something I consider part of good communications work: building capacity, not just delivering outputs. A website that only the person who built it can maintain isn’t a sustainable communications tool.
Configuring the panel with the end user in mind — and then transferring that knowledge clearly — is as much a communications skill as writing copy or managing press.
Impact
- WordPress website delivered for documentary promotion and educational guide
- Custom user panel configured for non-technical team autonomy
- Training session delivered to ISCOD’s communications lead
- Organisation fully equipped to manage content independently post-handover
