Accredited Catalist supplier, Connect
Internet Solutions Ltd, is pleased to
announce that the Department of Health
(DH) is the latest high profile
organisation to join the company’s
public sector client list.
The DH, which has a large and highly
trafficked website containing over
20,000 pages (www.dh.gov.uk),
appointed Connect following a four-way
competitive tender.
The brief was to explore different
concepts for a more interactive
homepage design, which would increase
user engagement and exploit the
capabilities of the DH’s newly
purchased content management system.
The design concepts were shown to
audiences as part of a user testing
exercise conducted by leading market
research company, MORI, and feedback
from users will inform the future
development of the DH website.
Ian Walker, Design Manager at Connect
Internet Solutions, comments: “We’re
delighted to have won this project
since it highlights that Connect’s
expertise doesn’t only lie in our
technical capabilities, but also in
our ability to create strong, user-led
web designs.
“User feedback on the final design was
extremely positive, with elements such
as RSS feeds and podcasting being
particularly well received.”
