Look complicated to you?  Us too.  Fortunately, you don't have understand how this works to produce a great website.

At Hammer Design we pride ourselves on understanding each individual business model for every website we produce. Our client base has traditionally been highly diverse.   When we were invited to quote for a new website for a Marie Curie Initial Training Network being run out of the University of Sheffield we jumped at the chance.  However when we read the brief to provide a fully content manageable website to S³Nano, which will be investigating Quantum Dot Spins’ many of us were left scratching our heads.  Our Senior Developer, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, was only able to offer this useful explanation – ‘it’s complicated’.

Shortly however it became apparent that a complete understanding of what was being researched was not necessary and we could focus on the research group’s online needs.  These needs centred around creating a repository for research notes and a focus point for a research network, with 16 researchers, 11 Ph.D. students and 5 Post Docs based out of 4 countries: UK, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.

With this in mind we have proposed and had accepted our plan to design, develop and host a website for S³Nano, a Marie Curie Initial Training Network.  Along with our Chameleon CMS system and standard levels of service and security the website will also encompass several other key features.  Different groups or members of the research network will have different access rights to various parts of the website.  This will allow specific content to be clearly directed and provide specific areas for the relevant links, files and information for members and groups.  Other features of the website include the ability to send regular newsletters, a registration system for events and workshops, researcher profiles and resources and notes that will follow on from those workshops or events.

Another unique client to add to our eclectic client base.
