A diverse set of audiences for the website
The website for Outernet London had to serve a very diverse set of audiences and stakeholders. As a brand new entity Outernet London required the website to do multiple things:

Contain practical information like Outernet's location and the facilities that individual members of the public visitors will be able to enjoy including the free to use areas etc
Support the recruitment of staff, suppliers, subcontractors and so on
Cater to the press and media with an area for the latest news
Provide information for brands, advertisers, their agencies and advisors including how to place advertising orders
Detail the available commercial letting opportunities
List the upcoming events and link to advance ticket sales for shows at Here London and The Lower Third
Feature the giant opportunities Outernet London provides for the creator community - a big canvas to show artwork, lots of footfall, fully immersive and virtual reality possibilities
A fully responsive content managed website
The team at Acknowledgement worked with Outernet to design and build a fast, secure, stable and flexible mobile first website. We've used the Statamic CMS so Outernet staff can easily create and update pages. We're pleased that traffic to the site has grown and grown. The site integrates with various third party systems including our Malcolm! customer self service platform, Mailchimp and DICE.
We were very excited to work on this project and continue to work with Outernet on various other digital initiatives.
