Best In Class Award for our Cornwall & Devon Media website

The Interactive Media Awards are run by The Interactive Media Council.

The Awards are designed to elevate the standards of excellence on the Internet and to recognize the highest standards of excellence in website design and development and honor individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievement.

The Best in Class award is the highest award you can achieve and we are incredibly proud to have earned such an accolade for our work.

Cornwall and Devon media asked us to develop this site to help their business advertisers to find the information they required easily and avoiding as much of the in-house print language often involved when discussing advertising spaces in publications. The entire project was developed around the end user experience, and we worked closely with the team at Cornwall and Devon Media to ensure we got this right, holding real user testing sessions throughout the development stages.

One of the most important aspects of the project for our clients was that they needed full control over the content on the site, this was to be changing very regularly and it was imperative that they be able to do this quickly and simply.

Another important element of the project was to develop a system that allowed for CDM to have several versions of the site for their many different regional offices but updateable using one system, have a look at the North Devon Example

We thoroughly enjoyed working on this project, and the team at CDM made this a really enjoyable project, Katie Atkins, Catherine Bicknell and Ed Rowe to name but a few of the CDM team.

Since the advertising site has launched, CDM have seen a rapid increase in online enquiries for advertising space, and feedback from these customers shows that the site and content has been incredibly useful and informative, mission accomplished then!

Although everything we do here at Slightly Different is always of course, a big team effort, a big mention has to go out to our own Rob Suckley who designed the site, managed the project and ensured that the end result was indeed award winning!
