The new Afsluitdijk is coming. It is being made completely future-proof. It will be higher, there will be a new top layer and specially designed concrete blocks ensure that the dike becomes stronger than ever. This also causes inconvenience because the Afsluitdijk sometimes has to be partially closed. Good information provision has logically become a spearhead on the site.

The website was delivered in Gutenberg, the newest way of formatting pages and templates in WordPress. This system offers a lot of flexibility for the user and makes it possible to build pages completely dynamically. Texts and areas can easily be swapped and specific elements can be added or omitted per page.

The dynamic feeling is not only noticeable for the administrators, the user is also included. The homepage contains many – subtle – animations for a rich user experience.

But there is much more to tell. There are numerous projects in the field of energy, nature, economy and water management. There is plenty of room for all these projects with detailed explanations on the new afsluitdijk.nl.

The tabs you see above on the page can be completely organized using Gutenberg blocks.

In the context of accessibility, the pages with information are also equipped with read-aloud buttons, so that the text on the page is read aloud. The website also contains a section where documents can be found and a clear news archive.
