The Client
The University of York is one of the UK's top 10 universities, and has an excellent reputation as a centre of excellence in enterprise education and entrepreneurship.

The Brief
To create a searchable database of enterprise events to co-exist with the existing University of York enterprise websites. It had to allow external organisations to easily add their own events, and it had to be able to syndicate content from national enterprise organisations and to client websites.

The Result
The design template and database source was coded in collaboration with York Multimedia Network, providing a fast, efficient CMS which enabled users to quickly find events relevant to their requirements. Additionally, users could sign up to be notified of new events, and could even syndicate content from the database for their own websites. I negotiated with national enterprise organisations such as the NCGE and UKSEC and worked with their technical teams to establish incoming RSS feeds to help populate the database. The database was launched to national acclaim from the higher education enterprise community, and was even featured at a prominent US enterprise conference.
