The British Academy Launches New Website

The British Academy has relaunched their new website powered by the YouDu CMS.

The Academy wanted to completely redevelop their online web presence and make it easier for staff to update the website using a content management system.

BOCC worked closely with Web Content Manager and IT team to develop the new website. BOCC created the information architecture / structure and functional modules for the new website. The portal was visually designed by BOCC's design team based on existing brand guidelines and styles.

Features of the website and project include:

• Maintenance of publications using the CMS Assets Library;
• Technical consultancy to confirm project requirements and integration;
• News stories integrated with existing ASP data sources;
• Integration with existing back-office proprietary databases;
• User registration system to sign-up to the Academy's eNewsletter.

BOCC also created a content migration process in order to import and map data from the existing website to the new CMS. This therefore avoided the need for Academy staff to populate the new website from scratch.

Web development, visual / interface design advice and web server hosting all provided by BOCC.
