Common situation
A federation publishes programmes, events, guidance and member resources. Visitors know what they need, but not the organisation’s internal department names.
Digital presence assessment
Visitors cannot find the right information
A website can contain accurate, useful material and still fail its visitors. When navigation follows internal structures or resources are scattered, people cannot form a clear path to the answer they need.

Visible symptoms
These signs often show that a website exists, but no longer helps people publish, navigate or act with enough confidence.
Common symptoms
- Visitors ask for information that already exists on the website.
- Navigation contains several levels with labels understood mainly inside the organisation.
- Resources are spread across news posts, pages and document libraries.
- Different audiences must inspect the same long menus to find their starting point.
- Search engines surface outdated or secondary pages before the authoritative answer.
- Equivalent information is organised differently between languages.
Point de départ
What is causing the problem
The cause is rarely one visual detail. It usually lies in the information structure, publishing process, ownership or the connection between content and organisational needs.
Root causes
- The site map reflects departments instead of visitor questions and tasks.
- Page hierarchy and internal links do not indicate which content is authoritative.
- Content has been added over time without consolidation or retirement rules.
- Multilingual content was translated page by page without a shared information model.
- Search intent and on-site navigation are treated as separate concerns.
A more useful direction
What needs to change
Organise information around the questions, tasks and decisions of real audiences. Establish clear destination pages, purposeful navigation and a publishing structure that keeps related resources connected over time.
A concrete situation
What changes
- Map priority audiences and the tasks each one needs to complete.
- Create clear landing paths and consolidate overlapping pages.
- Connect publications, events and resources to authoritative subject pages.
Expected result
People can recognise where to start, reach reliable information with fewer decisions and understand what to do next.
