Opportunity

CITB (the government sponsored industry training body) wanted to launch a new site for young people. The site needed to contain comprehensive careers information as well as some new features like up-to-date news, visitor polls, quizzes and games, all delivered within a four-week deadline to fit the advertising campaign!

Action

To create a site in such to a short timeframe is always difficult—but such a short timeframe is nigh impossible. However, through strong project management, guiding the decision-making as well as creating an alternative plan should it be required, the framework of the site was initially built in two weeks to enable the newly–written content to be added. Pulling together the graphics as well as the flash elements of the site in the last week as they became ready was cutting it fine, but once again, Twinrock delivered. This system was built on a mod-perl base with a MySQL database and an apache web server with extensions for Perl and Mason.

Performance

The client said it all at the post-launch review.
Neither they, nor their IT team, actually believed us when we said that it could be achieved in time for the press launch. But it was, and it was delivered ready for action, right on time.
