Connecting domestic and international policy with economic and social rights
The Center for Economic and Policy Research aims to inform legislators, journalists, and the public about how policy affects economic and social issues that directly impact our quality of life. Through research and education, they cover a multitude of topics ranging from economic inequality to climate change, in both the U.S. and abroad.
Teal Media collaborated closely with the CEPR team on their website redesign by displaying the breadth and depth of their work through their publications. We created a new taxonomic system to replace 600 terms, developed powerful authoring tools, and refreshed their visual design to make it cohesive and modern.
Standout features and functionality on the new CEPR site include:
Advanced filters: To empower users to explore and directly find the content they need, Teal Media built a robust set of filters in search and publication pages, including filters for topics, regions, keywords, date ranges, content formats, and languages.
Page to PDF: Audiences often want to download PDFs of CEPR publications, but the team didn’t have the internal resources to produce custom PDFs for everything. Teal responded by building a webpage-to-PDF feature that lets CEPR staff upload a unique cover; automatically populates the PDF with the rest of the HTML page content; reformats the content to optimize for a PDF layout; hides webpage elements that aren’t desirable in printed views, such as the page header and footer; and accounts for accessibility.
In-page navigation: For lengthy reports, the page can include a unique Table of Contents for quickly moving between sections without scrolling.
Translation: Users can switch seamlessly between English and Spanish versions of the site. The features include translated navigation menus and publications. The site is coded to allow CEPR staff to add languages on their own.
Flexible homepage design: CEPR can select from several different homepage layouts to control the prominence and amount of featured content. The homepage also supports data visualizations and animated statistics.
