Before we landed

In preparation for a pivotal year of development and change, and a period of intense growth, the LIA needed a new website to provide a window into its work for the public, government and other stakeholders.

The challenge we were set

Build a new website to bring together the LIA’s three existing sites, creating a destination for LIA services and member-only content. With new products and services set to launch, including a dedicated testing laboratory and the LIA Academy for training and development, the site needed to be future proof and host various core products and services. 

The difference we made

• An iterative process to design and build a modern, flexible digital platform for the LIA. 
• A beautiful site that demonstrates the value of membership to increase sales, and a home for extensive members-only technical and learning content. 
• eCommerce integration allowing members to self service their applications, payments and renewals, and book and pay for events and courses. 
• Membership is at organisation level, so individual access to protected content is managed through an email address, and re-validated periodically. 
• Managed user access for committee members to access specific materials.
• A gateway to the LIA’s new industry-backed Lighting Industry Academy, a hub for high-quality learning, which integrates with the SmarterU Learning Management System.
• Yoshki Smart badge integration to digitally validate member credentials.
• User-friendly search results allow filtering by content type, sector and other criteria.
