The Worshipful Company of Salters, one of the twelve Great City Livery Companies, originated in fourteenth century London. For a number of years, Dominion has worked with the Salters’ to develop a series of websites for all aspects of their company and organisation.

The purpose of the most recent redevelopment of the Salters’ family of sites was threefold. First, various design elements in each section needed to be updated. Second, an effort was made to unify the divergent site styles with a series of links on the left-hand side of each page so as to enable quick and easy navigation between the sites themselves. Third, more emphasis was to be placed on promotion of the Salters’ sponsorship programs.

 

The Salters’ Festivals of Chemistry website was updated to include a wider variety of content promoting the Salters’ festivals. The site is built around a viewing system for various event photos, and more effort has been made to promote sponsorship. An online application form is also available alongside event and programme information.

Similarly, the Chemistry Camps site has been redesigned with a wider range of information and features, including event pictures, sponsorship content, application forms, and event information. A more attractive user interface has been implemented as well.

The purpose of the Chemistry Club site is to entertain a predominantly young audience of ten- and eleven-year-old school children – this update was thus in a similar colourful style to the previous site. Competitions and projects are offered to challenge the skills and knowledge of young people with an interest in chemistry.

The Institute site remains the hub of all of the Salters’ youth-orientated sites, with a cleaner interface and additional content. A good deal of space has been devoted to promoting the Salters’ sponsorship program. Finally, a left-hand side navigation panel has been added to the Salters’ company site.
