Mentor Digital wins Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust website and CMS development contract

May 11th, 2012

NUH NHS Trust has appointed Mentor Digital as their preferred supplier for the delivery of a major new website and CMS system.

This win is the 3rd large scale NHS website and CMS contract that Mentor has been awarded and this follows the successful delivery of large scale websites and CMS systems for University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.

Mentor’s senior team delivered a winning pitch and won the contract based on an exceptionally flexible CMS, and previous experience of delivering similar scale projects for other NHS Trusts. Mentor’s experience of working with Shaw Trust and BBC to deliver accessible content for disabled website users also helped Mentor Digital to secure the contract.

The CMS platform is an extended version of the award winning open source .Net platform, Umbraco, which is tried and tested across large organisations with many departments and content editors. Mentor Digital has extended this system to include video management, news & events management, secure document areas, discussion forums and drag and drop page creation systems amongst other custom additions.

Mentor Digital is a web design agency based in Bristol, offering enterprise level creative and technical solutions to clients across the UK including Wincanton, NHS and BBC.

Mentor Digital launches new corporate website for Wincanton PLc

November 9th, 2011

Bristol based digital agency, Mentor Digital, has developed a new corporate website for Wincanton Plc, the largest UK-owned supply chain solutions provider.

Mentor Digital was responsible for the end to end production of the FTSE500 company’s website and the agency’s senior team led the planning process from scoping and site-mapping workshops, through to wire-framing and user-experience testing sessions. Clear and bright seasonal graphic designs were applied to the wireframes before an adapted open source .Net CMS system was put in place for Wincanton to manage the website content. The website makes use of modern interface techniques to deliver easy to browse news, search, events and video content.

The new Wincanton corporate website also includes the previously separate investor relations website. This site allows users to browse the corporate’s investment proposition, reports and presentation and FAQs, and allows investors to subscribe to alerts by email.

Mentor’s MD Holland Risley said “It’s been really enjoyable working with Wincanton’s marketing team on this project, and the website is now a real flagship project for us. The project approach and the inclusion of the planning and scoping workshops along with the UX testing process has been really successful and has ensured that all the regional teams and departments felt included in the development of their website. I would like to pass my congratulations to the marketing team at Wincanton who have managed the project brilliantly from their side.”

Mentor will continue working with Wincanton over the next year to deliver a number of additional websites for the group.
