Unique Solutions
Document Search
In collaboration with IRI Macedonia, the Government’s PR Sector, and legal experts, we developed a search tool for Government decrees and documents related to the Coronavirus.
This tool allows searching documents by category, tags, title, and even content within the PDF documents themselves, enabled through OCR.
The image shows a simple search for the term ‘Kumanovo,’ where the plugin returns all documents containing that term.
Documents can be downloaded or viewed directly within the plugin.
Detailed Statistics
Collecting, displaying, and analyzing all data from the Institute of Public Health.
The purpose of this overview is to immediately inform the user about the current state of the pandemic in North Macedonia, while also providing deeper insights upon closer inspection.
This tool is also valuable for researchers, as they can easily apply automatic filters to delve into the details and extract precisely the information they need.
Final Words
This project was a true challenge to execute, as it required compressing all phases of project development without any room for errors or delays.
One of the biggest challenges was creating a website accessible to as many people as possible. Today, the website is available in three languages, with all content translated.
In the first three months since its launch, the website garnered 2,000,000 views, nearly 350,000 unique visitors, and over 850,000 sessions. More than 100,000 users found the website through search engines like Google or Bing, with an average Google SERP ranking of 3.2 to 3.6. Over 50% of visits were made via mobile devices.
