AmeyCespa is the new name of Cambridge’s waste management operator Donarbon. The company was bought earlier this year and now forms part of a group of companies with big plans for expansion across the UK.
 
As Donarbon’s former supplier, we joined a competitive tender process to supply the new website for the new Cambridge operation and for the main company website, and were fortunate to be chosen to provide the platform for both sites..
 The sites we’ve built share a common design theme but address different audiences and perform different roles. The central corporate site is principally a brochure site, business facing and with a highly professional feel to the page designs and content.
 
The Cambridge site has a broader audience that reflects all the stake-holders in the business, from householders whose rubbish AmeyCespa collects, to skip hire clients, councils, schools and recycling partners.

 The site is also extensive, so rebuilding and restructuring was no small task, but it was one made considerably more straightforward by the flexibility of the Exintra content management system it runs on, not least because the fluid architecture management means that pages can be shifted around the site if the logic of the navigation and presentation changes.
 
    
  Making the sites accessible for as many users as possible is also an issue for a company like AmeyCespa who have a significant social responsibility for making their information accessible to their stakeholders across the community. As well as the customisation features, the plain text version of pages and the ability to screen read the sites, we also ensured that interactive features like the location map were built in javascript instead of Flash so that they will run on Macs, including iPads and iPhones.
 
We’re really pleased both with the development process, which we hope has been positive and flexible, and with the final sites which look great and work really well for all the company’s partners.
