Redefining Diplomatic Websites
Elevating Diplomatic Digital Presence
We build a modern CMS for the Permanent Mission of Pakistan, enhancing their digital presence with a state-of-the-art website.
The challenge was to create a sophisticated, user-friendly website that could effectively represent the Pakistan Mission to the United Nations in the digital space. The platform needed to handle multiple languages, manage an extensive archive of diplomatic statements and press releases, integrate real-time social media updates, and ensure optimal viewing across all devices.
Additionally, the site had to maintain the highest standards of security, be easily manageable through a custom CMS, and reflect the gravitas of diplomatic communication while embracing modern web technologies.
