Overview
Website for Medicines Australia, the pharmaceutical industry body representing the research-based medicines sector in Australia. Built and maintained at Osky Interactive, the site integrates with WP ERP for enterprise resource planning data and uses FullCalendar for event management. The site serves as a public-facing information hub for the organization's members, stakeholders, and the broader public.
Approach
The WordPress site is built with a custom PHP implementation that bridges the CMS with external systems. Bootstrap 4 provides the responsive grid framework, with Sass for structured stylesheets and jQuery for interactive components and DOM manipulation.
The WP ERP integration connects the WordPress site with the organization's enterprise resource planning data. WP ERP (by weDevs) is a WordPress ERP plugin that manages organizational data directly within the WordPress ecosystem. The integration handles data retrieval and presentation on the public-facing site.
FullCalendar powers the event management feature, displaying industry events, meetings, and deadlines in an interactive calendar interface. Events are managed through the WordPress admin and rendered on the frontend with FullCalendar's JavaScript library, providing month, week, and list views. This gives members and stakeholders a centralized view of upcoming industry activities.
The Bootstrap 4 responsive layout ensures the site is accessible across devices, which is relevant for a professional audience that may access industry information from offices, conferences, or mobile devices.
