The website is powered by Abacus e-Media’s Webvision CMS and the latest set of Core User Interface components, which offer a fully responsive design experience. The site has been developed with a ‘mobile first’ approach, providing an optimized user experience across a number of different devices, responding to the screen size of each. The navigation changes from a mega-dropdown menu on the desktop to a simple linear menu on mobile and tablet, allowing access to multiple depths of content. The site makes use of traditional responsive design techniques – CSS media queries and flexible layouts – as well as using device detection to back-up the client side control with server side scripting. The end result, says Abacus e-Media, is a site that works beautifully and effortlessly on all devices, minimising the cost of running multiple device-specific sites or apps.
The registration and subscription processes are powered by ADvance, Abacus e-Media’s cloud-based audience development platform designed to support all aspects of modern multichannel publishing. Using the gate-keeping functionality, IPE will be able to capture detailed demographic information about their audience – such as job type, country of residence and/or subscription information – across all platforms that can be used for audience segmentation.
