01 — The challengeReflects the Changes of Hong Kong

Established in 1928, Radio Television Hong Kong, the oldest broadcasting station in Hong Kong, is the sole public service broadcaster, provides radio, television and online broadcasting services. RTHK produces educational, entertainment, and public affairs programmes that are also broadcast on commercial television channels.

In 2016, VICOSYS is assigned by RTHK to revamp the main website, add more innovative elements and bring a new look for RTHK main website.

02 — What we builtBuilt to stay up.

  • Headless approach on Drupal: editors manage content in the CMS, while the public website is delivered separately, with a fully responsive layout for desktop and mobile.
  • Scaling and caching that improve stability and keep the site ready for traffic surges.
  • Integration with RTHK’s other applications and services.
  • Conforms to the HKSAR Government’s web accessibility requirements and best practices, so the content is available to people with disabilities.
  • SRAA (Security Risk Assessment and Audit) and security-scan findings remediated and re-tested, to the Government’s security requirements.
