 <p>Since the 2009 launch, the Association not only grew in terms of membership, analytics told us the number of visitors viewing the site (albeit the entire web) on small screen devices was growing.</p>
 <p>In the years that followed two overriding issues became apparent: increasing membership applications meant more frequent site updates, and visiting the site on a now ubiquitous smartphone was less than optimal due to the rigid nature of fixed-width design.</p>

 <p>I mention 'first website' as the success of this initial launch led Michel to become a long-standing repeat client. We've worked in collaboration for over fourteen years on a network of no less than sixteen websites; each one focussed on a unique demographic and market sector.</p>

 <p>My brief was to produce a minimalist, elegant, promotional website with independently updatable content, news and concert schedule plus multi-language support and full media playback.

 <p>We decided that the simplest solution would be to scrap the entire codebase and redevelop the website's foundation from scratch. The drag and drop website builder of the original website was replaced with a robust in-house framework. This was then fine-tuned and preflight checked on multiple operating systems and devices. The core layout and colour palette of the original was used as a basis for the new design, which was then expanded and enhanced to frame the site's rewritten text (edited and restructured for flow and readability) and updated media.</p>

 <p>The backend administration area was tailored to the requirements of the client. When logged in content and media now appear within self-contained, independent compartments which are isolated and separate from the website's underlying structure. The client now has the ability to update any individual part of the site safely without risk of content spilling over and disrupting neighbouring content or page layout. On-site training sessions were included for staff who would be managing content and adding blog posts.</p>
