Deep has been working with WebsEdge for a number of years designing and developing their tv-based websites. Recently redesigned is the Local Government Channel - the leading broadcast media channel dedicated to local government providing news and views broadcast on Sky, on-line and at major conferences.

Our challenge was to create a website that would attract more members and encourage sign-up to the conferences and interviews and improve the user experience of the site.

Our main objective was to improve the appearance of the site due to vast amount of content. We focused on making it easier to navigate, structuring information and increasing the size of the player. The library now includes an extensive search refining results with advance filters and related items. Other functions include blogs, live feeds, discussion forums, an awards widget for nominees/sponsors to embed a voting widget on their own websites, a countdown to next awards to name a few.

The site has been live for one week and now receives 2000 visits per day - that's 1800 more visits per day than the previous site. The average user time of the site has increased by 30%. Visit www.localgovernmentchannel.com
