Rural Development Initiatives
the client's brief
We were approached by Rural Development Initiatives to develop a new website which not only gave them control over content via a Content Management System, but also allowed them to manage and promote events. Critical to the brief was the site need to appeal to two very different sets of visitors - funding bodies and customers.
our approach
Orange Bus suggested the use of an "Outputometer" in order to give funding bodies headline information each month on 5 key areas: Businesses Advised, Grants Distributed, Jobs Created, Training Days Provided and Reports Produced. The information is fed in to the Content Management System and displayed on the home page, giving a quick view of the state of play. An events booking system was also added, with links to two subsidiaries (Yorwoods and Northwoods) so events from each of these can also be displayed and booked via the central system.
