CRCNA

Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia

We’re proud to present the newly launched website for the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) — a fresh, thoughtfully redesigned platform that reflects the organisation’s critical role in shaping the future of Northern Australia.

This new digital space was built with both users and administrators in mind. The previous website posed challenges when it came to navigating key information and managing content behind the scenes, so our focus was on delivering a more streamlined, brand-aligned, and admin-friendly experience. Now, research, projects, and resources are easier to browse, update, and share — creating a more efficient ecosystem for both internal teams and external audiences.

With an updated design that honours CRCNA’s identity, enhanced filtering for research materials, and simplified tools for content management, the new site makes it easier than ever to stay informed, access insights, and support collaboration across regions.

Key Features

From Clunky to Clear

The original CRCNA website had several pain points — outdated filters, confusing navigation, and content that was hard to find. We overhauled the site structure to eliminate those issues, making it easier for users to discover research projects, reports, and news with just a few clicks. Key pathways were restructured, page layouts were clarified, and search functionality was improved — all to ensure the new user journey is clear, intuitive, and frustration-free. Now, whether you’re a researcher, policymaker, or curious visitor, finding what you need feels seamless and straightforward.

Aligned with the Brand

Every design element was thoughtfully crafted to reflect CRCNA’s visual identity — from the use of color and typography to clean layouts that feel modern but professional. The new site feels cohesive and credible, reinforcing trust with users while remaining approachable and visually consistent across all devices.

Upgraded Functionality

The website isn’t just easier to navigate — it works harder too. Features like improved filtering for research projects and resources, a more intuitive layout, and mobile responsiveness all contribute to a smoother experience for users whether they’re browsing, downloading, or engaging with CRCNA content.

Simplified Content Management

One of the biggest improvements was behind the scenes. The admin panel is now far more intuitive, allowing CRCNA staff to update research items, news posts, and general content without technical assistance. This empowers the team to keep the site fresh and up to date, saving time and reducing reliance on developers.

The Digitally Buzzed touch

Design Aesthetic

The newly launched CRCNA website is a clear, modern reflection of the organisation’s commitment to driving impactful research and regional development across Northern Australia. From the updated branding to the simplified layout that helps users easily explore research, news, and resources, every element has been thoughtfully designed to support transparency, accessibility, and engagement with stakeholders, partners, and the broader community.

Responsive and Intuitive

CRCNA.com.au is fully responsive across all devices, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly experience whether you’re browsing on desktop, tablet, or mobile. The intuitive navigation, improved filtering system, and streamlined content structure make it easy to explore research projects, access insights, and stay updated — all in just a few clicks.
