The web site will drive communication of their 21st Century Management Techniques

Bristol, UK 11th March 2003 - Nomensa, experts in improving e-business effectiveness through humanising design, today announced the completion of a fresh, new and innovative web site for their client, OPCO, the 21st Century Construction Company.

Employing over 50 people across a number of sites, OPCO works on large-scale construction projects in both the residential and commercial sectors. Recent projects include the impressive Westbury Century Wharf residential development in Cardiff Bay (combined phases worth approx £32 million).

Focused on approaching construction management from a modern viewpoint, OPCO actively work with partners to develop technology and procedures that improve standards and increase efficiency within the industry. It was important that this was reflected in their online presence communicating the modern approach that the company takes.

"It was a great opportunity to work with a company who are already pioneering the use of technology within their industry to improve both performance and working practices," commented Sally Lincoln, a Nomensa consultant. "The outcome is a fresh design that will act as a solid foundation for future developments which communicates clearly to clients and partners about their company. In addition, the site has been made fully accessible complying with current legislation and illustrating OPCO’s commitment to equal opportunities."

OPCO is pioneering the use of mobile computing technology on construction sites to improve business processes and overall standards. The creation of a state of the art web presence was a natural step.

"We are delighted with the end result of our web site," said an OPCO spokesperson, "Nomensa listened to our requirements and designed a site that appropriately suited our corporate profile which is very important to us as a new company. Nomensa built a very close working relationship with us through the assignment of a dedicated Account Manager which made the process of information supply and design run smoothly."

Nomensa will continue to provide ongoing services to OPCO to ensure that initial user analysis and site feedback is utilised to make continuous improvements to the web site. Future integration with other technologies used within the company is planned and initial feedback is very positive.

The assignment is a further endorsement of how the Nomensa approach to making web sites effective for eBusiness has a positive effect on how a company can be perceived, enhanced and valued from a user perspective.
