New Website Development for Contactless Payments Information
London, UK (13/04/2010)
Lab Lateral was selected, through their design partner, Buzzword Creative, to develop a new website for the UK Payments Administration Ltd: www.contactless.info. The brief was to create a retailer-focused website to promote contactless payments within the UK. The website provides information and seeks to educate retailers on contactless payments which is a new method of credit card payment that does not require a signature or a PIN.
The UK Payments Administration The UK Payments Administration had two specific requirements for this web development. Firstly, they wanted a website that was straightforward for retailers to navigate in order to quickly locate required information. Secondly, they needed an easy to use content management system that would allow frequent changes to the website with minimal administration costs.
Web Development
The first requirement for the web development was to build a functional and user-friendly website where finding the required information was straightforward and uncomplicated. The site had to be easy to navigate and hold a large amount of information without seeming cluttered, keeping the information architecture in line with the simple and modern look of the web design. Lab Lateral accomplished this by setting up a simple menu structure with access to more information as the user navigated through the website, with links to further pages within the text. This ensured that visitors could always select information that was relevant to them throughout their browser experience, without the need to continuously return to the main menu.
Content Management System
The second requirement was to install Lab Lateral's Content Management System (CMS) with multi-user functionality, specifically tailored to the needs of the UK Payments Administration. The CMS enabled the website to operate efficiently and be managed in a controlled way by various administrators, through a web-based interface. It was essential to keep on-going operational costs to a minimum and Lab Lateral's CMS fulfilled this requirement by facilitating quick and easy website updates.
With constant advances in the contactless payments industry, it was important to continuously modify content. The CMS enabled administrators to quickly add, edit and remove entire web pages, news items, files and other content including videos, documents, images and text. It also provided a comprehensive reporting mechanism giving a real time view of website activity and marketing effectiveness.
A Successful Web Development
For this web development, it was important for Lab Lateral to meet the specific requirements of The UK Payments Administration in terms of website architecture and the content management system. Both aspects were aligned to the simple and modern web design and the general theme of 'simplicity' that is the ethos behind contactless credit card payments.
