Abstract
Visit Cost Sector Catering’s website and you will see not only a brighter, different look but easier navigation and a host of new added features
First launched in 2007, the Cost Sector website has steadily grown in popularity year-on-year, bringing in more visitors, adding new sections and developing RSS feeds and regular newsletter updates.
But we decided it needed a redesign that would allow us to take into account comments from you and analysis of visitor behaviour. The resulting new-look website is now live.
First impressions
The homepage summarises the most up-to-date information, whether that’s breaking news, consumer trends, research or live visitor polls.
A rolling ‘website highlights’ box displays the latest news and features, and with the added rewind, pause and forward buttons you can view the stories at a pace to suit you.
Many of you like to interact with stories we publish. Using our ‘most commented and most read’ feature, you’ll now be able to keep track of the news stories making an impact.
With links to social media websites such as Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn, you’ll also be able to share interesting news and views with colleagues and friends.
