Tight deadlines are always interesting, they keep us on our toes. And so the design, build and testing of a bespoke questionnaire-based microsite in around a week did just that!
As part of its safety at work campaign, Generation Safe, Centrica is running a series of interactive workshops at its Grimsby renewables base, designed to find out how employees would react when placed right at the heart of a variety of safety situations.
To measure and monitor the effectiveness of these workshops, internal communications specialist Mat Rumbelow asked us to create a custom built microsite to capture delegate and session data from each workshop. This needed to launch before the first workshop on 4th December, as employees are asked to log in and complete a short 'pre-work' questionnaire, which is used in the training session. The site also asks participants to add their personal information and gives them contact information and a route to the training location.
During the training sessions, participants are given an iPad and asked to log back into the site, review their previously submitted answers and complete each session's questions as the events of the day unfold.
We built a content-managed site that offers a simple 'back-end', which means any registered administrator can log in, edit users' information and access all submitted questionnaire answers – as well as exporting the data in a variety of formats.
The deadline was incredibly tight as we had less than a week to put this all together. But with the client on hand to test the system with us we managed it – even adding and tweaking the functionality so that it worked exactly as they wanted. Once launched, we made further additions to streamline the system and make it easier for admin staff to manage.
Mat Rumbelow said: "There aren't many designers who could deliver a fully-functional website in a matter of days, but as always, tothepoint rose to the challenge. It helped that the team understood exactly what I wanted from the outset, which meant there was virtually no to-ing and fro-ing over design and content. Even with a myriad of last-minute changes and tweaks, everything went smoothly."
The training sessions will continue into the new year, however, once complete, the plan is to add new content and features to the site, extending this into a safety-focused 'hub' for Centrica Energy's power business.
