New website for the Kalloni Environmental Education Center

At the Kalloni Environmental Education Center, which operates under the auspices of the Lesvos Natural History Museum of Petrified Forest, you can learn about the rich and unique nature of the Gulf of Kalloni and the wider region.

The reason they approached us was to create a new, modern website that would present the center's activities with rich high-resolution photographic material and information about the island's nature.

As we do with every project, we started with lesvosbirds.gr by studying the needs and goals. Through the meetings we had with the staff of the Kalloni Environmental Education Center, we recorded the needs - goals, the audience to which the page is addressed, and we ended up with a website architecture (sitemap).

The love of the center's staff for the promotion and protection of Lesbos' unique natural environment gave us an extra boost to create a site that met their expectations.

Our design approach also included the design of a new logo, while the choice of photographic material from experienced wildlife photographers played an important role in the appearance of the website.

For the inventory of species in the database, we recorded all the necessary fields of each species, such as scientific name, common name, family, group and conservation status. In order to make it easy to search for species, we added search filters based on the basic characteristics of the species (e.g. name, family, color, size).

Each species has rich high-resolution photographic images and a link to news that concerns it (e.g. appearances).

The page was developed in Drupal 8 and has now been upgraded to Drupal 10, is fully responsive to mobile phones and tablets, and supports Greek and English language.
