Revamping The Ring of Steel Website

"Drawing the Ring of Steel" is a 16-hour live engagement event scheduled for March 24th, 2022, aimed at facilitating public recollection of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The event will evoke memories of one of the few mutual experiences of the conflict - the security cordon that once encircled Belfast City center, protecting and rendering an entire population suspects. The militarized built environment, designed to meet security imperatives during the Troubles, can still be observed on the streets of Belfast today. This project aims to use a website as a medium for people to remember history and share their stories. Through this initiative, we hope to remind people of the impact of past conflicts and inspire collective efforts toward creating a better world. The project has been migrated from Squarespace to Wordpress, with custom programming for enhanced user experience and performance optimization. The administrator portal is easy to navigate, and updating the latest information is a breeze through the custom Wordpress website, which also provides storage for files.
