We are delighted to say that we have just launched the newest version of the Children’s Sunshine Home website. The site is packed full of functionality - online shop, online donations, sponsorship pages - and lots of information about the organisation and what they are doing - events, news, how to get involved etc.
Earlier this year the Children’s Sunshine Home and Laura Lynn House joined forces to build Ireland’s first children’s hospice. The aim is to provide families and children with life limiting illnesses with support, care and friendship. Currently the Children’s Sunshine Home are in the middle of building this hospice and there is detailed information and pictures on the site.
We have really enjoyed working on this project with the team in the Children’s Sunshine Home. The work that the organisation does for sick kids and their families is incredible and I would encourage you to find out more about what they do and get involved if you can.
Continuing our ongoing relationship with Media Contact we have just launched a brand spanking new site for their suite of media related products and service. The company offers a searchable database application on a subscription and pay as you go model, they organise conferences and training sessions relating to the media, public relatinos and social networking and they also produce a book with all of the contacts in the media in Ireland in good old fashioned paper.
The new site features an umbrella “group” site under which we have broken down the four distinct divisions of the company. The goals of the new site were fourfold:
Present the products provided by Media Contact in a clear, engaging interface
Incorporate a commonality of design across the divisions
Improve the user experience in terms of howthey use the applications and improve the purchasing workflow.
Incorporate new functionality into the application to enhance the product offering.
We’re pretty happy with the way it has turned out - comments welcomed! MediaContact.ie.
