### ICAP website design, Pakistan

- **Client:** The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP), established on 1 July 1961
- **Location:** Pakistan
- **What OXEDGE did:** page structure and visual design for desktop, tablet and mobile
- **Designed:** 2023
- **Designed for:** CA students, ICAP members and firms looking for technical guidance

## The challenge

A professional body's website serves very different people at once. A student wants study resources, fees and forms. A qualified member wants CPD courses and technical guidance. The public and the press want news and proof of standing. On many institute websites, all of this sits in long menus that only insiders understand.

ICAP needed a design that sorts these audiences quickly and gives each one a short path to what they came for.

## The approach

We organised the site around who is visiting, not around the institute's departments.

- **Audience first:** one section speaks to Members and Students side by side, with a separate block and quick links for each group.
- **Calm, modern look:** mint and deep green, lime-green icons, white space and a clean sans-serif, so dense technical content stays readable.
- **Clear actions:** Sign up and Login in the header, and a Details or Read more link on every card.
- **Mobile ready:** Publications, Technical Resources and the Newsroom were laid out for phones.

*Students: study resources, profile, and fees and forms in one block.*

## The solution

The design covers the institute's main jobs, from promoting courses to publishing technical guidance.

What the design includes:

- **Home hero:** a promoted course, "Getting to Learn US Taxation (Individuals)", self-paced CPD for members, with a QR code and a Book a demo button.
- **Main menu:** About, How to Do CA, Affiliate, Quality Assurance, Technical Services and APRS Program, with search.
- **Who we are:** a short introduction to ICAP with Who We Are and What We Do buttons.
- **Insights and Publications:** cards for The Pakistan Accountant and the Newsletter.
- **Technical Resources:** a tabbed panel for Code of Ethics, Audit Assurance, Financial Reporting and Technical Opinion.
- **Newsroom:** a carousel of news and event stories, each with a tag and a date.
- **Recognition and help:** partner logos (IFAC, SAFA, CAPA, Chartered Accountants Worldwide) and a "Do you need help?" banner above a green footer.
