The development of this project was a huge honour and a great challenge for the Oceanlab's team. In graphical terms, it was required to reconcile institutional weight that features a sovereign entity such as the presidency and the need for more modern and innovative communication between this institution and all citizens.

In a society that needs to be more aware and interventive, is essential to raise the public interest for the great national purpose, telling them clearly on the presidential actions and their impact on everyday life. With this site a very important step was made in that direction. The visibility given to all presidential actions make this project a key instrument of citizenship and a unique reference in the relations between State, Civil Society and Citizens.

This was a ambitious and extremely rewarding challenge and has contributed decisively on raising quality standards in services provided by Oceanlab.
