Data Visualizations and Data-driven Web Sites
Organizations spend millions each year on research meant to educate and inform the public, then publish their findings online. But not all publication methods are equal.
How does your data look?
If your organization is publishing data in downloadable spreadsheets or PDFs, you’re losing about half your audience. Today, Velir is leveraging the latest technologies to help organizations build interactive maps, graphs, charts, and tables which are far easier to read and understand. These powerful tools are being used to engage and excite the public, who can easily republish them in articles and blogs.
Our Process
We start by establishing with the client each of the indicators, topics, locations, and demographics they wish to exhibit. A master database is created to store all of these statistics. Then we build the interface which allows users to customize their own reports and choose the display method (map, line graph, etc.). Reports can then be printed, emailed, saved, embedded on another site, or shared via facebook, twitter, or other web 2.0 applications.
The administrator tool is very straight-forward – important for keeping sites up to date. It is entirely web-based, with an interface similar to Microsoft Office, making it easy for non-technical staff to access and manage existing reports and import new data.
