Description
The website is designed for young people and as part of the Connexions remit it requires input and involvement of young people with regard to its development. Indigo ran focus groups in order to understand how young people used the web, what their likes and dislikes were regarding different websites, what kind of styling they liked as well as selecting and voting on names.
Outcome
Purplepigeon.net won gold for 'Young Person Friendly Site' by Purple Youth. It was judged by 16 panels of young people to be voted for this award.
The CMS also powers the clients extranet, hybrid CD-ROM, corporate site and learning difficulties website.
What the client says
"Indigo [staff] are approachable, open to ideas and available to give advice, both when we were developing purplepigeon.net and since it has been up and running. The CMS currently drives our website for young people, our CD and our extranet and will soon be extended to our new website for young people with learning difficulties and our company site. We have worked with Indigo's staff to enhance the CMS as we've become experienced using it."
