    IE Digital designed and developed a new website and UX for befriending charity SVP

    The St Vincent de Paul Society, SVP, turns concern into action by visiting & befriending over 80,000 lonely and isolated people each year in England and Wales, providing practical assistance to anyone in need.

    When the consultants at IE Digital first met SVP to talk about what they needed from their new website, we were struck by the number of great stories they had. Letters of thanks and from their beneficiaries, and great examples of the enormous impact that's made by SVP's 10,000 volunteer members. But these success stories weren't evident on the old SVP website.  For the new website, IE put these stories front and centre, to show SVP's members, staff, supporters and help seekers all the great work the befriending charity brings to the communities it serves.

    We looked at the user journeys and created a user experience to help SVP recruit volunteers, attract donations and help more people. 

    Read the SVP website case study.

    Our consultant reminded us how many wonderful stories we have to tell, and the value of putting them front and centre on the new website. IE Digital did an excellent job of improving the online user experience, and the new site is helping us to get our mission and message out into the world. Ultimately, it's helping us to achieve our objectives of recruiting more volunteers, attracting more donations and helping more people.

    We are thrilled with the new website IE Digital has developed for us. From discussing our brief in an initial meeting, IE clearly demonstrated from the outset that they had listened to our ideas and understood our vision to create a modern and eye-catching new website that also acted as an effective hub of information and resources for our member charities, and we are really pleased with the design they came up with for us.

    The team at IE have always been responsive to our comments and feedback throughout the process, and it has been a pleasure to work with them on this project.

    New website for membership association IFST Institute of Food Science + Technology

    The Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST) is the UK’s leading professional membership body for all aspects of food science and technology. They advance these disciplines based on impartial science and knowledge sharing.

    IE Digital was appointed to give the IFST website a complete overhaul, particularly to improve the user experience for membership registrations. 

    In phase one, we rebuilt the Drupal 7 website and enhanced the existing CiviCRM integration, including replacing their paper-based membership sign up with a online sign up process including payment. A simple pre-qualification questionnaire replaces the many pages of membership information on the old site, and guides users through the registration process including the option to sign up to various membership types and professional registers. The new site simplifies content management, and gives a greater presence to resources and events.

    Land-based study

    Lantra is the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for land-based and environmental skills. IE Digital worked with Lantra on a multi-phase digital project, to re-organise and improve the way they communicate and interact with their audiences.

    The first step was to revamp the "Schedule of Suppliers" site, a directory of all companies that are approved for one or more National Highway Sector Schemes. Lantra hosts the SoS on behalf of UKAS and other certification bodies. IE Digital's job has been to rebuild the site to improve the overall user experience, with a more intuitive supplier registration process, the ability to upload certificates, automating the process for expiring certifications, and showing all suppliers on a searchable map.
