Definition
Banpu Global Innovation Awards 2024 is Banpu's innovation contest that brings together projects from 8 countries (Thailand, Indonesia, China, Australia, Mongolia, Japan, Vietnam, and the United States). SUFFIX developed the website that serves as the central hub for project information, presentation documents, and team details for investors and the judging committee.
Objective
Create a website to gather information for the BANPU GLOBAL INNOVATION AWARDS 2024 project. The website should include detailed project descriptions, presentation documents, and team information. It will feature details about the working teams and the presenting teams. The projects will be submitted by participants from eight countries: Thailand, Indonesia, China, Australia, Mongolia, Japan, Vietnam, and the United States.
Outcome
SUFFIX structured and designed the website around the contest content while solving a technical challenge, choosing technologies that work inside China where many cloud-based storage services are restricted. The team built a login system for restricted access and designed the visuals around the project's main key visual, used across both online and offline event materials.
Process
How did SUFFIX develop the website for Banpu Innovation Awards?
An international innovation contest carries a lot of information, including project details from 8 countries, presentation documents, and details on both the working team and the team presenting the work. SUFFIX structured the website to organize all of it in a clear system, so users can reach each project quickly. The overall design follows the main key visual of the contest, used across both the website and the event itself, so the experience between online and offline stays consistent.
Tech challenge, building a website that works inside China
Building a website for this contest meant accounting for the technology restrictions inside China, especially the cloud-based storage services that are used widely in other countries. A site built without that consideration would not be accessible from China, which is one of the 8 participating countries. SUFFIX selected technologies carefully, avoiding services restricted inside China, and tested the experience to make sure the site runs smoothly and stays accessible from every participating country.
User journey for investors and the judging committee
The website is not open to the public. Use begins at the login page, where Banpu sends usernames and passwords directly to investors and the judging committee.
SUFFIX designed the user journey for this specific audience, from a login page that is easy to use through to navigation that lets users reach project details, presentation documents, and team information from each country quickly. The whole design fits the decision-making context of a committee that has to compare projects from several countries at once.
