We launched the Concordia International Volunteers in August.

Since then we have been getting great feedback from the charity based in Portslade.

Programme Manager, Fiona Taylor says:

The number of bookings has far exceeded out targets for this year, and it’s all thanks to the site review Callender Creates carried out, they executed the findings in the design and structure of the new site. Very Exciting.. We are just watching the traffic grow each month!

Site redesigns that are done well, are often regarded as switching a switch and letting all the visitors who could not understand the way to navigate around a site, and get the information they require.

In this instance, this has led to:

• Increase in number of bookings
• Increase in seo and accessibility
• With database work planned soon, to make searching and booking even easier online

We have used Google analytics and Crazy Egg to demonstrate to the client the actions and visitor journey on the site. We have explained also the way the pages are written can determine which pages the visitor clicks onto.
