The Challenge
The Network Innovation Collaboration (NIC) Portal allows Network Licensees to post expressions of interest in relation to particular topics, inviting project partners to make contact with them.
| Sector: | Energy & Power |
| Target Audience: | B2C & B2B |
| Services: | Web Development, Web Design, Bespoke CMS |
| Technologies: | .Net ASP, Javascript, IIS, PHP, CSS, Responsive / Mobile-friendly |
| Location: | United Kingdom |
For project partners, the site allows them to record their names and contact details in a single repository, which Network Licensees can view.
ENA wanted to improve their web development portal, to elevate it as the first calling point for UK networks innovation.
They felt that they needed to improve the way that they published and shared learning. User experience was a key element to focus on. ENA also required a similar look as used for their Smarter Networks website – to promote brand symmetry.

A fair amount of focus was given to brand exploration and benchmarking. | Project Scope of Works

The basic web development functionality from the previous site was re-implemented:

The Result
We are very proud of the final product, an intuitive, highly functioning portal. The project’s success is due to the innovative bespoke web development work involved as well as the UX and design elements of the site. A success both from a UI and site management perspectives.
