The Life Science Centre has been one of the North East's top visitor attractions since it's opening in May 2000, and recently won the Best Family Experience award at the North East Tourism Awards. The Life Science Centre aims to improve awareness and understanding of the possibilities that science has to offer with a programme featuring a wide variety of events and activities.
In summer of 2005 we were approached to re-design and re-build their website. The brief was to create an attractive, user-friendly and accessible website that could be easily updated by the marketing staff at the Life Science Centre. After a period of design consultation and development, we launched the new website in October 2005.
The new site is driven by a custom-built content management system (CMS) allowing the latest events, workshops and exhibitions to be published and promoted on the site immediately. Other features of the CMS include control of advertising and banner placement throughout the site, online job applications and a mailbox to filter enquiries to different people.
The site meets level AA for accessibility and is constructed from standards-compliant CSS and strict XHTML.
More Case Studies :
From the brief that was sent out to a number of providers, Presence came back with an attractive, user-friendly site that was easy to navigate and importantly accessible to all. Exactly what we wanted. Their patience and responsiveness, coupled with their creativity and friendly attitude make them a joy to work with and I would definitely recommend them.
