Jacqueline Williams from Connect celebrating the launch with
Jo Zinger from Sandyford
We were delighted to be invited to attend the launch of the
newly developed Sandyford website (opens new
window) in Glasgow in March. Connect is delighted to have
worked with this NHS service to develop a site that meets their
complex needs and provides a valuable resource for their many
different audiences.
The Sandyford service, part of Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS,
delivers information and advice on the full range of sexual,
reproductive and emotional health services that are offered
throughout Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, as well as information
on sexual health improvement and related issues. Connect is
delighted to have worked with the service to develop a site that
meets their complex needs and provides a valuable resource to their
many different audiences.
Fiona Noble, Business & Development General Manager for
Sandyford said:
“Having the website will help improve access to our services for
our clients, and will provide useful information and links for the
public as well as specific clinical information for GPs and other
service practitioners.
Working with Connect was a pleasure, and has been a very
positive experience. From the outset, we have found them to be
professional, helpful and responsive. Communication has always been
quick and easy, especially during the busy design phase, and the
run up to the launch. We are very pleased with the design of the
site, the layout (given the sheer volume of content), and the ease
of navigating around the site.”
Connect Project Manager Jacqueline Williams said “It’s been a
real pleasure working with the Sandyford team and watching the
website come together. The services Sandyford offer to the public
are exceptional and we are really proud to have been able to play
our part with the development of the website.”
The site was developed using the Umbraco CMS with
some jQuery elements and is also supported by the BrowseAloud
screen reading software.
