About the Project
The Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, the 2009 UK Chamber of the Year, is one of Britain's largest business organisations, representing more than 2,000 member companies.
Lucent Web Design undertook a complete redesign of the Chamber's website through late 2009 and early 2010, the second time Lucent has redeveloped the Chamber site. Great care was taken to ensure the design could accommodate a vast range of content, including news items, events listings, registration and contact forms, photo galleries, and information pulled from backend databases.
The site's underlying XHTML and CSS code complies with World Wide Web Consortium web standards and accessibility guidelines, ensuring that its content can be readily accessed by non-standard browsing devices such as mobiles and screenreaders, and be easily indexed by search engines.
The site is integrated with Ezone Interactive's WMS content management system, giving Edinburgh Chamber staff full control over the site's content.
