As Edinburgh is a capital of cultural events and arts festivals it was vital to have a central service, which allows consumers to find out information on any ongoing and future events throughout the city. The website gives information that will appeal to different cultural audiences with great interactive services available.

The website, which has been created by Leeds based digital agency Numiko, represents 12 of the city’s major festivals throughout the year. The site will be developed in the future to enable ticket booking and purchasing system covering around 300 venues. A TV channel will also, hopefully, be part of these future developments.

Leeds University Gets New Website

Posted in Uncategorized by touchmarketing on July 29, 2009

The old website was failing to connect with its audience and drive people to the right areas and therefore a new consumer-facing website was needed.

Leeds University

Leeds University

The new site will be ‘modular’ with shifting focus throughout the year. For example it will cater for undergraduates between March and July, when they are making their applications. Each audience will have its own landing page, which will help to direct people to the correct content.

A new colour palette has been developed for use online – muted gold’s, greys and beige, instead of the usual green palette of the university’s identity. This colour palette will now influence the style of new printed materials – the online looks to drive the offline marketing materials. A new tone of voice for imagery and photography has also been devised.

The new website, designed by Uber, will launch in August.
