SIA Ireland

Project summary

SIA Ireland is an independent educational website owned and published by Red Stag Studio founder Robert Gloster. It explains Ireland’s proposed Investment Account in plain English and connects its policy claims to original sources and review dates. The project shows how careful information design can make a changing subject easier to navigate without presenting proposals as settled rules.

The challenge

The account is still being developed. Public announcements contain confirmed facts, proposed details, and questions that have not been answered. Readers need a useful overview, but they also need to see where each statement came from and how current it is.

• Make the difference between confirmed, proposed, and still unknown visible throughout the site.
• Give readers a short explanation without losing the source record behind it.
• Keep general investment education separate from the proposed account’s undecided rules.

Our approach

We built the site around a clear path from overview to evidence.

• The homepage introduces the subject in plain language and points readers to the status record.
• A claim-by-claim tracker groups statements by status, links to their sources, and shows when each was checked.
• The explainer and dated policy timeline provide context for readers who want to go deeper.
• An investment growth calculator teaches a general concept while explicitly stating that it does not model the proposed account.

Outcome

The live site gives readers a direct route from a summary to the underlying claim, source, and review date. Its structure leaves room for policy updates while keeping unresolved details visible. Visit SIA Ireland to explore the published site.

Why it matters

When a website explains a complex or sensitive topic, trust depends on more than its appearance. Clear labels, careful language, accessible routes through the content, and visible evidence all help people judge what they are reading.
