Clyde Gateway
Client: The Clyde Gateway Urban Regeneration Company (URC) was established in December 2007. It is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government.
Mission: In their search for a locally based creative supplier, the fanatics stood out head and shoulders above the rest. The original brief was to create a "temporary" professional website that expressed the aims and objectives of the (URC) without loosing its local focus and aspirations. Clyde Gateway are in need of a credible web site at this early and important start of the regeneration initiative. The purpose of the web site is to support the CG team in gaining momentum and act as an information portal to interested parties - the audiences will vary from local government, researchers, developers, press, businesses, the local community and the general public.
The overall look and feel of the web site should be in line with the style of the leaflet designed previously by DF which has been well received. The technical development must follow Glasgow City Council construction standards. The site should be built with around a basic CMS system to allow non technical personnel to update written content. The local focus is never far away thanks to series of images commissioned by Dezign Fanatics capturing the community. An easy to use content management system and a maintenance and support package means Clyde Gateway are well covered for future developments.
The result is a clean and credible structure that catered for informative content relevant to both local residents to high level researches and decision makers. As things gather momentum, the flexiblilty of the design is put to the test and it continues to grow in features and content.
There was however one final request from Clyde Gateway - to remove the word "temporary" from the original briefing - this they thought was too good to be anything but the real deal.
Deliverables:
- Website design and development
- Art direction & photography .
