With three separate websites to manage, social housing provider Calico wanted an easier-to-use system that would better reflect their expanding range of services online. When the time came for an update, Calico selected Staffordshire-based integrated communications agency Lesniak Swann to redesign the websites. With 10 years’ experience with social housing clients and an expert web team, Lesniak Swann was able to design a solution to perfectly fit Calico’s needs.
Rather than rework the three sites separately, Lesniak Swann were tasked with consolidating the sites into one easy-to-manage group website. The comprehensive new site is designed to benefit Calico’s residents, with a user-friendly interface, fresh graphics and a host of new features. A range of additional functions are now available, including a job module which manages residents’ online job searches and applications, and geo-area-coding features that enable residents to search for events and services by postcode. Offering increased functionality and a bespoke content management system, the new site also allows the Calico team to manage the site more easily themselves, and has the flexibility to be expanded with additional modules as needs arise.

The new website is launching this week, and Calico is looking forward to a website which lives up to their ethos of providing quality services that make a difference to people’s lives.
Darryl Baker, Marketing and Communications manager at Calico, has been impressed with Lesniak Swann’s attention to detail, and processes that incorporate the wider objectives of the website, such as the Ecosystem Plan. Darryl commented:
“As a growing, diverse organisation with a wide variety of clients, we recognised that we needed a website that not only reflected the full range of services we currently provide, but one that can continue to keep up with our business growth.”
