Studio 24 was commissioned to redevelop National Extension College's (NEC) online presence in line with their Sales and Marketing strategy. With a wide range of courses and publications available from the NEC, the brief was to design a group of websites aimed at different audience groups.
The main requirements were:
- Design 7 new sector specific websites
- Development of XHTML/CSS templates for implementing into NEC's CMS
- Usability and accessibility testing
- Professional consultancy
Studio 24 firstly analysed the supplied content for each site before developing navigation structures and wireframes for the sites. Once the client had agreed on the format and layout of the initial designs we then looked at the graphical elements of the site. We developed comprehensive mood boards which focused on colour palettes across the 7 sites as well as relevant images.
One of the core challenges was to keep a common design theme across all websites while ensuring that each site was unique.
Testimonial
"Studio 24 redeveloped NEC's online presence to meet our Sales and Marketing strategy objectives. Because we have such a wide range of courses and publications available, our aim was to design a group of brand new websites aimed at distinct target audience groups.
We chose Studio 24 because they are a dedicated web development agency and appeared to have an excellent reputation. Their knowledge of web design and development really impressed me and clearly stood out from other companies interviewed.
I was particularly impressed with their design phase which was very comprehensive. The final designs were exactly what we wanted and moreover, they were delivered on time and to budget. I would certainly recommend Studio 24."
