New-look website launched today!
24 August 2017
We have today launched a redesign of our website, with a key focus on improving user experience to help people find what they want, faster.
The redesign includes a complete overhaul of the layout, structure and navigation of the College’s whole family of sites: Professionals, Animal Owners, Find a Vet and RCVS Knowledge.
Some of the main improvements are:
- A new level of navigation at the very top of every page to allow easy transition between the College’s different sites (similar to the BBC website).
- A greater focus on key content and services straight from the homepage, including latest updates from ‘external’ sites like Mind Matters and Vet/VN Futures.
- A dedicated site for the College’s Find a Vet service, with further improvements that make it even easier to find veterinary practices, veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.
- New 'mega menus' and improved search tools to help users find what they want more quickly and easily.
- Page design and layout more in line with current best practice, to make reading easier and navigation simpler.
- A ‘mobile first’ approach to design to ensure the website works optimally on all mobile devices, as well as desktop.
Ian Holloway, Head of Communications, said: “We’re delighted to be launching our new-look site today and hope all the improvements we’ve incorporated will make using the site a much better experience for veterinary professionals and animal owners alike.
“Working closely with our website providers, NetXtra, over the past nine months, we’ve been able to develop a new-look site with vastly improved design, structure and navigation, whilst avoiding the major expense of building a completely new website from scratch.
“We’re very grateful to them, and to all those vets, vet nurses and members of the public who have helped us with user-testing and content mapping to improve the site as much as possible for everyone who uses it.”
