WorkCover NSW launch small business website
28/09/2005
“Izilla exceeded WorkCover's requirements from a technical, functional, and aesthetic standpoint.”
The Hon David Campbell MP, Minister for the Illawarra, and Minister for Small Business launched the WorkCover NSW website "Safe Business is Good Business" www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/safebusiness on the 28th September.
WorkCover is committed to assisting small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) understand and meet their workplace safety and workers compensation responsibilities. As part of this commitment, WorkCover NSW have established this website especially to provide SMB owners with basic information that is simple and based on the facts - not urban myths.
Izilla was commissioned to work with WorkCover NSW to design and deliver a professional website that clearly communicated the services of WorkCover's Business Assistance Unit to its target audience, the small business community. Several key issues were seen as paramount to WorkCover and it was izilla's understanding of those issues that made the project such a success.
- The site needed to be intuitive and easy to use, efficient, simple to navigate as many users among the target audience use dial up Internet access and are not heavy web users,
- The site had to adhere to corporate branding and style guidelines whilst giving the site an inviting and approachable look and feel with a strong use of imagery that would appeal to the specified target audience,
- It was critical that the site met accessibility guidelines.
The Safe Business website will ultimately be incorporated into WorkCover's existing content management system. Due to the amount of site content to be included (400 pages) izilla used their enterprise content management system - Cognition to create and manage the content throughout the development and delivery of the project.
“It was critical that the site met accessibility guidelines.”
Izilla consulted with WorkCover and introduced new technologies and methods in producing an innovative site that not only met, but exceeded WorkCover's requirements from a technical, functional, and aesthetic standpoint.
The site makes use of Flash that, along with the rest of the content, was maintained quickly and efficiently through the use of Cognition, Izilla's Content Management System.
