Update on the BIALL Website

Earlier this year the BIALL Web Committee (BWEB) asked BIALL Members for their feedback on the BIALL Website. Encouragingly, there was a great response rate, with 136 BIALL members taking the time to respond. Of the 136 responses received the majority agreed that the BIALL Website needs a refresh and a new look (75% of respondents), should be better structured and there should be a better search.

Other interesting points to note include:

• 96% of respondents currently use the website
• Only 66% of respondents "usually found what they want" on the website
• 37% of respondents use the website on a weekly basis
• Conference pages, the BIALL Diary/BIALL news and Job Board/careers information are the areas most used
• Wikis and RSS feeds were the 2 most desired options to be made available on a new website.

All the responses from the survey are available on the BIALL Website

So what are BWEB doing about the BIALL Website?

Good question, and the answer may appear to have been not a lot up until now, but we?ve actually been really busy behind the scenes working on documentation to support a project to rebuild the website.

Right now were at the tender stage and hope to have approved the Web Design Company who will rebuild the website by early November. Once we know who this company is, well let all BIALL members know and provide a timeframe for the completion of the project.

If you have any questions about the Project do email a member of the BWEB Sub-committee:
