CeBit Webiety

This site promotes one part of CeBit, the national IT conference that books out Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre each May.

The Webciety page links off of the parent CeBit website, but the client wanted a totally fresh design that promoted Web 2.0, and demonstrated how the web and social media could help you to improve your business in the new millenium.

This site was all about social networking, so it was important for Solutions Outsourced to include a range of social networking features on the home page.
 
This included Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube buttons on the front page, and it was important to make sure that these elements were very prominent in the design.
 
From a technical aspect, the biggest challenge involved grabbing the RSS feeds from five or six different social media platforms and integrating them into one list, but Solutions Outsourced were able to achieve this.
 
The overall biggest challenge, however, was the timeframe involved in creating this site.
 
From go to whoa, Solutions Outsourced had seven days to complete the job. “It was all hands on deck, and we had a couple of external contractors come in to achieve that result within the required timeframe,” says Phil Peet, Lead Designer at Solutions Outsourced.
 

CeBit was very impressed that Solutions Outsourced was able to achieve such great results within such a tight timeframe. As a result, Solutions Outsourced was awarded another 30 websites from the client.
