Overview
Our challenge here was to redesign the new Council web portal -
meeting the Council's accessibility and navigation (SSL) design
requirements as well as creating a design that would meet corporate
and business communications objectives.
There is nothing formulaic about portal design, a major
challenge in satisfying a wide audience with diverse needs for
information and functionality. In design we have successfully
supported the council brand and service propositions. In
development we have adhered to the strictest accessibility
guidelines and delivered flexible, robust and technically excellent
CMS templates.
We hope our solution exceeds the Councils' brief and meets our
own personal objective - to deliver a design that surpasses the
offerings of those Councils in NLCs peer group. We think we got
there and we'll soon find out - the new site is due for
implementation in summer 2009.
