MASS Training
Overview:
Bristol based MASS Training wanted a new website with extra functionality that reflected their brand, and which would work with existing business processes.
Challenge:
To design and develop a new website to fit in with new branding which would be easy for a wide range of staff to use. The existing site demanded a knowledge of coding which made it very user unfriendly.
MASS Training also wanted to give their members the ability to book and pay for courses and webinars online.
Solution:
We established the project objectives through working closely with the client under the brand guidance of their designer. After lots of questioning and listening, we created the wireframes to show the clients how the site would work.
With the site architecture clear, we moved on to create web design concepts and internal pages that incorporated MASS's new brand colours, freshness and corporate imagery.
Following signoff of the designs, we turned them into standards compliant front end coding, and a powerful yet easy to use content management system.
Key features of the solution included:
- Content management system built on the Drupal platform
- E-commerce facility with ability to pay for courses online using Worldpay
- Manual order facility allowing bookings to be taken over the phone
- Course & webinar calendar with categorisation
- Preferential rates for members when logged in
- Date driven course prices, totally manageable via the CMS
Results:
Within a week of going live, the site was taking course bookings online.....a first in the history of MASS Training. Key staff members feel empowered to keep the website up to date as well as using it as a business tool.
