These services are delivered by a series of Agencies and Partners across the Borough.

A full content management system allows in-house management of all content, including vacancies, individual home information, news and documentation. The CMS is updated by editors in each home as well as head office and incorporates an extranet function with secure login for internal users.

Solution: Having devised the brand for this start up business, which is listed on 'Plus', we were commissioned to develop a corporate and product information site based around our CMS tools. The site features a heavily branded look and feel within a stylish interface which uses layers of semi-transparent areas which appear to float over the back ground image. Information is delivered within a defined, consistent layout and embedded Shockwave banners are used to provide animations of key concepts.

Datel is recognised as the Sage partner of the year, Sage independent Users partner of the year and the Sage Circle of Excellence winner.

Solution: Look and feel is led by the Datel brand identity, which has also been developed by bd2, and an interface that uses a formal grid structure to define areas that handle the volumes and variety of information they wish to include. Navigation is via drop-down menus that enable one-click navigation throughout this large site which also uses animated Flash banners to deliver customer testimonials. The Datel website has been developed by bd2 using our CMS tools to enable in-house management of all content.
