British Nuclear Energy Society’s website goes live and frees up resource.

Client overview:
The British Nuclear Energy Society (BNES) are the leading learned body and information source for the Nuclear Sector.  

BNES promote public understanding of the issues surrounding the use of nuclear energy and advance knowledge on these issues by facilitating meetings, debates and the presentation and publication of peer-reviewed papers.

Brief:  
BNES approached Webree to redesign their website, but also required the software behind the site to enable the following:
•    online purchasing of membership
•    manage and automate membership process including renewals
•    create mini event sites without the assistance of a developer
•    paper uploads and automated review process

Solution:
CMS
If like BNES you have lots to say and your information changes all the time its just common sense to change content of your website in-house. Our Content Management System (CMS) software IBIS enables content editing as well as the ability to add unlimited new web pages, news articles and menu links.

 
Membership & Benefits
BNES offer a range of memberships from individual to company.  Their online registration system offers both online or offline payment.  

Membership levels have different benefits such as discounts so once the member logs on, the system automatically understands their membership type and shows their discount accordingly.

Member Management
The system understands a membership is due for renewal and triggers timed emails notifications to the member, providing them with a facility to renew and pay online.  In the unlikely event that a member does not renew the system automatically deactivates their membership benefits such as access to member only information and discounts.


Mini Event Site Creation
Events are a vitally important revenue source for membership organizations, so the ability to create mini sites without the assistance of a web developer is key.  The mini sites not only publise information for the events, but enable registration, online payment, paper upload and a paper review process.

Managing a membership is a huge task, so the benefits of the BNES web service automating basic administrative tasks have had a huge impact in freeing up their resource.

The BNES website has been built to their specific requirements and business processes.  The site is an important business tool that they manage day to day without any assistance from us.

The ability to create mini sites with fairly complex functionality for events within minutes, without the need or associated cost of a web developer has proven invaluable to BNES.

“The British Nuclear Energy Society chose webree.com Ltd. for their reputation.  They have a reputation for service, which I can confirm has been 1st class.  Their on-line services are top notch and our on-going relationship has been brilliant.  Most of what we do on our site is under our control, though if we ever need support, it's right there.

Webree’s system allows us to develop the site to meet the changing needs of our members in a targeted, cost effective way.  We have no doubt that this approach and scalability will meet the needs of member organisations, large and small.  We have no hesitation in recommending Webree to other member organisations."
