After almost a year in the pipeline we put the finishing touches on the new Old Parliament House site last week. The comprehensive redesign and development includes a highly customised content management system that allows OPH staff to administer all aspects of the site, including an events calendar, online exhibition content (both new and old), news and education programs.

Max’s design pays respect to the building’s rich heritage and gives the institution the flexibility to adapt into its upcoming new role, in which multimedia and technology will play a crucial part. The build utilises super clean and accessible xHTML/CSS, some subtle JavaScript and integrates with Old Parliament House’s expanding presence on Flickr.

Update: In 2009 Old Parliament House revamped and relaunched itself as the Museum of Australian Democracy. We redesigned the site at the same time to bring it in line with their updated brand.
