3 new live sites!
DCMS (www.culture.gov.uk) – The site has been designed to make it easier for those users who are unfamiliar with the Department of Culture, Media & Sport to get an understanding of their work, but still cater for their important specialist audiences.
They held a number of staff workshops and Precedent facilitated focus groups to gain feedback on the design and content. The feel of it was also helped along by user testing of the dummy pages and accessibility testing to ensure that everyone can use it.
As you can see, broad theme areas such as “culture”, “media”, “sport”, are used on the Homepage and in “About us”. Under these themes, key initiatives can be identified to inform people and/or get them involved.
All the information for specialist users is still available in “What we do”, while the reference library contains all publications, consultations and media releases. So it will contain everything the old site had, with lots more, all in a format that makes sense to their audiences.National School of Government (www.nationalschool.gov.uk) – have launched a refreshing design for their website to reflect the new look and feel of their publication material. Their internal web team have taken our proposed design and incorporated it onto the website themselves.
MWB Meeting Venues (http://meetingvenues.mwbex.com) – This is the second site to go live for MWB in a series of sites we are developing for their number of workplace solutions. Our recommendations have been focused on building on MWBex’s current successes and producing a suite of brand consistent websites that are more audience focused and move from lead generation to, ulitmately, income generating in their own right. The first site was http://virtualoffices.mwbex.com for Virtual Offices, and still to come are the Serviced Offices site and the main corporate site.
