The website
CIMTIG's old website needed updating and invigorating to better reflect its marketing expertise and dynamic industry base. One of the key objectives was to reinforce the group’s long association with the renowned Institute.The team of volunteers behind the website also wanted to bring content management in house. News and event information from the group changes frequently, often with daily updates, so a simple, easy to use system was key.
The solution
Granite 5’s e-genius content management system makes light work of updating and managing the site’s content. And each CIMTIG team member working on the website can have with individual usernames and passwords for tiered access. Simple navigation was created to quickly and easily direct users to the information they need.RSS news feeds via the news and events pages keep users in the know about their industry. And a download section allowing members to read and print reports, presentations and podcasts from CIMTIG events.
The verdict
"We're really happy with it! The content management system is quick and easy to use. We wanted something simple, yet effective and reasonably priced. And the site does just what it’s meant to do – and does it very well. Also, Granite 5 are good people to work with."Gary Grieve, Project Manager, CIMTIG website
