NFDC
I have spent the past two and a half years working with an inherited website that was no longer fit for purpose. It had no audio or video support; it had a highly-restrictive upload limit; and it lacked the ability to drive email communications to our members. We are a trade federation operating in a fast-moving industry where legislation and regulations are constantly changing, so the website is an absolutely vital vehicle through which to keep members abreast of such changes.
Paul Sawyer at Web Preference not only took a detailed brief but also advised us through the development of the new site, ensuring that the new-look site is fully optimised to provide members of the Federation with an easy-to-navigate, highly-interactive website that delivers news in a fast, punchy way.
Moreover, Paul understood that no one within the Federation is particularly web-savvy. He has, therefore, delivered a website that is as easy to manage as it is to use. The content management system is so simple that just about anyone with the ability to type could use it. This will, I am sure, ensure that we are constantly adding new content to the benefit of the demolition industry in general and the NFDC membership in particular.
Finally, and equally importantly, Paul demonstrated a clear understanding not just of his client’s needs but also those of the site’s visitors. Demolition contractors want information that they can access easily and digest quickly and the format that Paul created with the new NFDC website has met those needs perfectly.
