The Smart Wuxi website stands out with its unique design and user-friendly features. The website utilizes simple linear illustrations to depict the important components of the smart city, allowing citizens of all ages to better understand the role of "smart cities" in the urban system. The intuitive design language showcases how various functions of the smart city are applied to real life, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with the website.
The choice of colors in the design also plays a significant role. Technological blue and sustainable development green are used to reflect the sense of the future and the sense of technology of the smart city. These colors create a visual perception that is both balanced and visually appealing. The overall design of the website aims to deliver a modern and user-friendly image of Wuxi, aligning with the city's urbanization and modernization efforts.
One of the key features of the Smart Wuxi website is its real-time information updates. As a government information website, it aims to deliver the latest news and updates to every visitor. The homepage features panels that link to different topic sessions, allowing users to access relevant information easily. Additionally, users can participate in voting panels to express their opinions on Smart City events, fostering engagement and interaction between citizens and the local government.
The Smart Wuxi website was developed using a combination of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects. The web design was primarily implemented using HTML and CSS, ensuring a responsive website that scales proportionately according to browser size and device types. The homepage animation was created using After Effects, adding dynamic elements to the overall user experience.
With its modern design, user-friendly interface, and real-time information updates, the Smart Wuxi website serves as a convenient and intuitive bridge for communication between citizens and the government. It aims to record every step of the development of Wuxi Smart City and provide a platform for effective communication and interaction. The Smart Wuxi website has been recognized for its excellence and innovation, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in the Website and Web Design category in 2021.
