The new British Bankers Association website went live a couple of weeks ago after a major overhaul led by Compound Media.

Redesign

With the advent of the credit crunch and the increasingly high profile of their work, the British Bankers Association decided that they needed to update their website.

Using a first generation content management system, the site had grown over time to contain more than 10,000 pages in a structure that had evolved in an ad-hoc manner.

Working with Bladonmore, Compound Media led a process to create a new site architecture to better meet the needs of their members and also allow effective dissemination of information to the media.

The process

We started out by managing an audit process to document the current site and then ran a series workshops to define the content strategy, site architecture and wireframes.

The resulting site has bought the organisation right up to date and allows the content creators to publish directly to the site rather than the previous requirement to update via a by a single webmaster.

A full case study will be published in the next couple of weeks but in the meantime, why not take a look at the site and let us know what you think?
