Coast Digital launch a new-look website for Waterscape - Britain's official guide to canals, rivers and lakes

December 10, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Coast Digital is delighted to have launched a fantastic new-look Waterscape website for British Waterways. The development of the site has been a long-term project involving a range of Coast Digital’s services including consultancy and online marketing.

Waterscape.com is Britain’s official guide to canals, rivers and lakes. It is owned by British Waterways who look after the nation’s 2,200 miles of inland waterways.

At the outset of the project Coast Digital conducted a user experience review of the existing website. From this we produced a series of recommendations for improvements.

These recommendations were carried forward with the development of wireframes and revisions to information architecture. Design templates were integrated to the client’s content management system.

Throughout the project and as the site took shape, we advised the client regarding optimisation. In conjunction with this activity we produced a best practice guide for search engine optimisation.

The end result is the new Waterscape website which offers a complete guide to enjoying life by the water. The site is easy-to-navigate and creates a strong sense of emotional engagement.

Nicky Ross, Marketing Services Manager, Waterscape commented: “The new site is attractive and highly usable with over 700,000 pages of information. We are delighted with the excellent advice we have received from Coast Digital.”
