Building Effective Digital Solutions
Whilst CSCS had had a website for several years, it had evolved over time and had become increasingly cumbersome and difficult to navigate. In addition, CSCS had no way of updating the site itself which meant that it was a protracted process for amendments to be made by its supplier.
It was decided that a new approach was needed that would make the CSCS website more accessible to the diverse mix of people who work in the construction industry.
Several web companies were briefed on CSCS’ requirements and responded with their proposals on how the organisation should improve its web presence and management.
Brian Adams, Chief Executive Comments
“Phew’s proposal was outstanding. They had clearly put a lot of work into trying to understand what we wanted to do. They had researched our market and how people would find us on the web and made sensible suggestions about how we could improve our rankings.
Importantly their proposal was cost-effective and we were also impressed by how simple to use their content management system is. From the first phase of Phew’s involvement in the CSCS website, there have been a number of developments. They include the introduction of a database application which has made finding information specific to occupations simple and quick to find.”
Brian Concludes:
” We were comfortable from the outset that we could work with Phew and this was an important factor in our choice of web partner. They have proved us right in that they are always responsive and helpful and regularly look for ways in which our website can be improved. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
