Key Features and Functionalities

1. Document Library
We created a comprehensive document library that offers easy access to a wide range of industry resources, including policy documents, guidelines, technical reports, and case studies. This centralised repository helps users quickly find and download the information they need.

2. Member Library
To highlight INA’s membership, we developed a member library that showcases the various utility providers associated with INA. Each member profile includes a summary and links to their website.

3. News Section
We implemented a dynamic news section that allows INA to regularly update their audience with the latest industry news, policy changes, innovations, and events. This section is easy to manage, enabling INA to keep their community informed and engaged.

The website was designed with user experience in mind, ensuring easy navigation and accessibility. The layout is clean and modern, with intuitive interfaces for accessing the document library, member library, and news section, making it easy for users to find relevant information.

5. Performance Optimisation
We ensured the website is optimised for performance, with fast load times and efficient functionality across all devices. This included optimising images, leveraging browser caching, and minimising code to deliver a seamless user experience.

6. Rebranding
We led the rebranding effort to align the website with INA’s new identity. This involved updating the logo, colour scheme, typography, and overall visual style to reflect the organisation’s fresh and modern look. The rebrand aimed to enhance INA’s market positioning and create a cohesive brand experience across all digital touchpoints.
