01
Overview
China India Institute publishes research, books, and advisory content on China and India’s role in global business. I worked on the frontend/content site experience while at Oligarcy.
02
The Problem
- Institutes need credible digital homes for articles, books, and speaking proof.
- Content-heavy sites become unusable without clear sections and hierarchy.
- Thought leadership only converts when visitors can find people, books, and contact paths.
03
The Solution
- Structured sections for thought leadership, advisory, speaking, news, and books.
- Content surfaces that highlight experts, media, and publications.
- A dependable WordPress-based publishing experience.
04
Architecture
- CMS-driven content architecture for articles, blogs, and book pages.
- Navigation organized around research offerings and institute credibility.
05
Engineering Decisions
Lead with expertise
People, books, and press proof establish trust before deeper archives.
06
Challenges
Dense content, calm IA
Lots of articles and media need grouping or the homepage becomes noise.
07
Lessons Learned
- Content sites are product design problems.
- Credibility online is structure plus proof, not just copy volume.
