IEC’s website was outdated in look and feel and was challenging for general users and members to find the information they needed. The website was in need of a more modern, intuitive design and the ability to provide users and members relevant information and ways to connect.

Orases worked with IEC and their graphic design vendor Think Baseline to create a modern, cleanly designed website with improved navigation, and the searchability and presentation of information to IEC members and general users in a streamlined, consistent and useful manner.

The new site also features a content management system that enables IEC administrator users to easily modify and manage content pages, events, chapters, navigation, forms and more.

The site integrates with IEC’s association management and credentialing software, ACGI, so that members can log in and access their membership information and access locked members-only content. Site users can also now locate their local chapters via the Find a Chapter map and search functionality.

This was a hybrid process. The client provided high level requirements up front. After initial discovery, we moved into an agile sprint cycle with discovery, development, QA and delivery occurring concurrently.

The client wished to adhere to a specific budget, so as the project progressed, it was an ongoing process to re-evaluate and reprioritize desired requirements and limit affects to the overall scope, schedule and budget. IEC also requested that Orases manage IEC’s graphic design vendor Think Baseline as part of the project.

IEC’s new website offers its general users and members a modern, clean look and feel. It provides them the ability to easily navigate, search and find the information they are looking for, as well as locate local chapters and connect with each other. IEC administrator users can also easily update and highlight featured content as desired. Members can also log in to access their membership information and access-controlled content.
