St Helens Chamber
is one of the largest and most successful Chambers of Commerce in the UK with over 170 staff based over 3 sites. They work to improve the economic success of businesses in the St Helens area.
Requirements
appointed tictoc to develop an interactive and information led website which would engage with their members and prospective members. The site will contain a large quantity of information and resources so a ‘user led’ navigation system with multiple routes to content was required.
Solution
An in-depth research and investigation process, followed by a prototyping process allowed tictoc to evolve our proposals to ensure that the finished product achieved the goals and objectives assigned at the project outset.
Functionality on the site includes:
- Online payments - users can book and pay for events and members can pay membership fees - which helps reduce internal administration for St Helens Chamber
- Members area - users can register on the site to manage a listing of their favourite site content, view when their membership is up for renewal, and view information on events they have previously attended, and advertise vacancies within their company
- Resources - a number of searchable resources including a business directory
- Vacancies - display of not only but also vacancies at member companies. Site visitors can apply for a vacancy and submit their CV through the site
The new site uses a tailored version of tictoc’s Content Management System to allow Chamber staff to keep the website up to date and ensure it is fully optimised for search engines.
