9web have today launched an interactive microsite for The Leprosy Mission International.
On the 25th January 2009, more than 100 countries will unite to celebrate World Leprosy Day. In preparation for this, 9web have been working with The Leprosy Mission International (TLM) to design and build resource material to help get the message across that leprosy still exists and affects millions of people worldwide.
The Flash based map that we have created encourages users to interactively engage with web content. As well as highlighting the prevalence of the disease throughout the world, the map showcases TLM’s work in Africa and Asia and breaks some myths about the cause, transmission, symptoms and treatment of the disease.
The editorial content of the Flash map is driven by XML feed meaning that the content can be easily updated and can be translated into different languages when implemented on TLM supporting countries websites.
Loyola Ranarison, New Media Manager at TLM said:
It is always good to find a creative way to illustrate a web campaign. For World Leprosy Day 2009, 9web supported our creative team in developing a Flash interactive map that can be used by our offices throughout the world. We have appreciated their advice, contribution and ability to transform ideas into web content.
