Web Development & Digital Empowerment
Somali Cultural Centre Australia (SCCA)
Project Overview
ADDIE Soft partnered with the Somali Cultural Centre Australia to design and develop a modern, mobile-friendly website supporting cultural promotion and community empowerment. SCCA required a digital platform that could authentically represent Somali heritage while remaining accessible, easy to manage, and engaging for diverse audiences. The new website serves as a central hub for programs, events, resources, and storytelling—strengthening community connection and outreach across Australia.
Challenges
Limited digital presence, manual updates, and accessibility gaps restricted community engagement and outreach.
-
Outdated Digital Presence: Existing platforms did not reflect the Centre’s mission or cultural identity.
-
Content Update Barriers: Non-technical staff struggled to manage website content independently.
-
Low Community Engagement: Events, programs, and stories lacked centralized digital visibility.
-
Accessibility & Device Limitations: The site needed to support all ages and mobile users.
-
Diaspora Outreach Constraints: Engaging broader Somali-Australian audiences required improved discoverability.
