AJBH: a WCAG-accessible Liferay portal and system integration

Mavir Zrt., Hungary's transmission system operator for the electricity grid, was looking for the right partner to renew its existing website. The goal was a modern, flexible portal solution, adaptable to their own specific needs, that could serve not only their current tasks but also future development and a possible future intranet expansion. Mavir's previous portal could no longer meet these requirements.

Solution: During the 2021 collaboration, it was crucial for AJBH to ensure the Liferay system operated efficiently and stayed up to date. Alongside the portal update, we placed strong emphasis on accessibility, strictly following the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). As a result, the portal now features high contrast ratios and is easily navigable via keyboard, serving the needs of visually impaired users as well.

Since the portal's primary function is delivering information to visitors quickly and accurately, the system had to be fast and reliably efficient. The main goal was to create an easy-to-use portal that provides separate roles for content managers and editors on a per-page basis, and that works seamlessly together with Mavir's existing systems.

On the system integration side, special attention was given to connecting the case management system with the Client Gateway service. Based on specific requirements and a client-centric approach, we developed custom portlets and integration solutions that enable efficient, coordinated operation across the various systems.

To meet this need, we developed custom Liferay portlets capable of visually displaying large volumes of real-time statistical data - a feature that's especially important for a player in the energy sector, where trading decisions are made daily, relying on up-to-date data.

Result: We're proud of our more than decade-long collaboration with AJBH, delivering complex solutions that serve both the institution's objectives and user needs. The project was carried out in the public sector, where custom portlets, accessibility improvements, and system integration delivered measurably faster case handling and more stable day-to-day operations. Through this partnership, Webtown has also contributed to the institution's digital growth and modernization.
