More Details:

Intranets are a crucial tool in ensuring an organisation effectively communicates information to employees. They are also invaluable in streamlining internal information processes and facilitating improved business development.

As such, it is crucial that your organisation’s intranet is well-structured and designed to cater for the needs of users. The intranet also needs to be constantly updated in order to maintain relevancy and interact successfully with other web-based applications such as extranets and the Internet.

NSW: FullCodePress

When

18-19 August 2007
Details

The concept is simple: national teams compete against each other to build a website in 24 hrs, putting national pride and web prowess to the test. And the real winners of the competitions? The not-for-profit organisation who is presented with a stunning, fully functional website.

The first competition will take place in Sydney, Australia on 18 August -a trans-Tasman clash between the best of Australia and New Zealand. Following that, on the 9th February, and just prior to Webstock 08, teams from around the world will converge in Wellington New Zealand for a larger international competition. Think geek Olympics!

The competitions will be judged by a panel with a brief to look at such aspects as:

  • meeting client needs
  • web standards and accessibility best practice
  • visual design
  • innovative coding

Teams will consist of 7 members, covering all aspects of the web development process.

NSW - Website Usability

When: 22 - 24 Aug 2007

Where: Sydney, Australia

More Details:

Websites today act as a virtual window that provides insight into the organisation and its operations. The company website is a medium for information sharing, and offers a platform for representing and promoting the business via the web. Website usability refers to the ease in which the website can be used by its intended audience to achieve defined goals, and must essentially account for factors such as design, functionality, structure, and information architecture to ensure the best user experience possible.

Organisations are therefore realising that creating and maintaining an easily navigable, tested, well structured, aesthetically appealing and informative website will not only streamline business processes, but will add value to the organisation. By developing a website that is accessible and caters to the specific needs of all user groups, better and faster access to the company information will be attained.
