Call with Steve Pownall, European Business Development Manager.

The original company (Stratec) has been sold to a Dutch business =
management company and has now rebranded as Biomedical Data Solutions. =
Steve hopes they will have more freedom in terms of design guidelines.

Initially he wasn=E2=80=99t too sure what he wanted until quizzed but =
reviewed the current site and competitors to arrive at a general =
wishlist to enable us to quote.

He doesn=E2=80=99t like the current Stratec site anyway. Too corporate =
looking, too much text, doesn=E2=80=99t engage viewer.

He would like to see a mockup (flat visuals) of how the site would look =
showing a couple of typical pages. I told him it would take at least a =
week to put something together.

Steve said he was not one to shop around for prices but said he will be =
duty bound to get at least one other quote.

Basically he likes the content/approach of their main competitor =
(Although he agrees that this site is not very appealing visually):
https://www.datainnovations.com/home =
<https://www.datainnovations.com/home>

But with the visual appeal/style of another competitor:
https://www.conceptdatasolutions.co.uk/ =
<https://www.conceptdatasolutions.co.uk/>

He likes the parallax movement with the fixed nav bar, the way the =
dropdowns open etc.

The products will obviously follow what is on the existing Stratec site =
- I understand that they will still be using the Aurora product branding =
that appears under data solutions (he didn=E2=80=99t mention Ortho =
connect).

In terms of functionality/feature we need to factor in the following:

=E2=80=A2 Brochure downloads

=E2=80=A2 They have two videos that will need to be on the site

=E2=80=A2 Secure client area where customers can download sensitive =
information (documents I presume) and also software updates - so this =
will need to be content managed, almost like a portal.

=E2=80=A2 They don=E2=80=99t currently do webinars but would eventually =
like to (see https://www.datainnovations.com/webinars =
<https://www.datainnovations.com/webinars>)

=E2=80=A2 There will need to be some other CMS of course if he wants to =
follow Data Innovations lead and have Careers, news, events etc. Suggest =
we quote a separate modules.=20

=E2=80=A2 Wants some way to capture enquiries that come in via enquiries =
form and use it as a database for follow ups etc. Perhaps this could be =
stored in an admin area and exportable as a csv file?

Quite a lot to include - I think we should break it down as much as =
possible given that another company may quote a different set of =
options!

Richard
