New Southgate Cemetery is the flagship cemetery for Britain's largest independent cemetery management group, Cemetery and Crematorium Services (CCS).

The Issue

New Southgate had two requirements to resolve.  Firstly, local community support needed to be improved through the provision of up-to-date information on their services.  Secondly, they wished to showcase their commitment to best practice in the workplace, and their use of new technologies, to consolidate their position as the premier cemetery management group.

The Solution

After considering many alternatives, CCS chose the webfactory on three key merits:

• Jamkit's expertise in requirements capture and analysis enabled the site to focus strongly on the users, while simultaneously showcasing the organisation to quite different audiences, such as local councils.
• The webfactory allowed CCS to update the content without being tied to Jamkit, or needing technical knowledge.
• The price compared favourably with non-content managed quotations from other web development companies.

Jamkit provided the complete package, from specification, through design, to implementation, within three weeks. 

The Result

As the most community-centred, technologically advanced cemetery site on the web, it has contributed considerably towards the profile of the group, and CCS now use it in all their presentations.  Site traffic has increased steadily from the launch date, and administrative overheads have been cut by keeping information about memorials, burials and pricing at a single location.
