Web Sites
We have a long track record of building award winning web sites that meet the needs of patients and professionals. We are comfortable designing a professional site and leaving you to populate it with your content, or if you prefer we can write your evidence-based health information for you.
Web design
We will work with you to produce a web design that sits comfortably alongside your organisational branding. The design will meet international web accessibility guidelines to ensure that everyone can use your site, including people with disabilities.
Our Designers can also help you rebrand by producing logos and other graphical elements to represent your organisational identity.
Content management system (CMS)
We want you to be in control of your site. Our in-house Phaedrus system gives you the freedom to manage your web site from anywhere.
We want you to be in control of your site. Our in-house Phaedrus system gives you the freedom to manage your web site from anywhere. A secure browser-based login takes you into the CMS from where you can edit your web site content, manage site users, create and send email newsletters and much more.
Phaedrus is more than a CMS – it’s an Evidence-Based Content Management System because it features a range of tools and plug-ins that support literature searching, sifting and critical appraisal.
Membership/personalisation
Our web sites make it easy to keep track of your users by offering secure registration that can be used to manage membership subscriptions. Each individual user is assigned a unique username and password to control access to your site. This makes it easy to create private web content and also enables you to capture personalised data in a safe and secure fashion.
eNewsletters
Email newsletters are an excellent way to communicate your message to your community of users.
Email newsletters are an excellent way to communicate your message to your community of users. Our sites offer a flexible newsletter which allows you to add stories whenever you want and gives your users the choice of signing up to specific topics at a frequency that suits them.
eCommunities
We are passionate about developing and sustaining online communities that allow people to participate in safe and secure discussions. You will be able to use these systems to share knowledge, experience and whatever supporting documents you wish to upload.
We also offer adaptation of your eCommunity to support researchers who wish to conduct qualitative research on patients' stories and experiences.
Multimedia
Making audio and video content available can have a massive impact on some users, but it’s important that you don’t get carried away with new fangled technology.
We have all of the necessary tools, skills and experience to script, capture, edit and stream audio and video clips on your web site, DVD or CD-ROM.
eCommerce
We can add credit card facilities to your site so that you can collect payments from your users. This is a simple and safe way to collect donations, membership subscriptions, payments for events and one-off charges. We can also build an online shop as part of your site, so that your users can make use of shopping cart technology to easily purchase items.
