When the Isle of Man Government’s Department of Trade and Industry decided they needed a website to support their new initiative, ‘Manx Graduates’, they approached Digital Design and PDMS.
PDMS and Digital Design were challenged to create a website that would promote the Island’s robust economy to graduates who were thinking about living and working here. The Department of Trade and Industry were keen to have a website which enabled graduates to search for graduate-level positions on the Island, as well as allowing individuals to connect with friends, colleagues and employers.
It was decided that PDMS' Foundations software should be used to sort and manage job listings, minimising user effort. Job searches can be sorted by sector, type, tenure as well as by employer. The website was built around core social networking capability which has contributed to the user community growing rapidly. Another reason for the website's rapid sucess with graduates and employers alike, is the effective design which PDMS created and implemented. Digtial Design had the opportunity, with this project to oversee all design aspects of the site, from creating the distinctive triskelion logo, to the layout of the site itself- even the promotional materials for the website's launch were handled by Digital Design!
