Trinity College - Foundation Studies Live Chat
Trinity College's Foundation Studies program is like a pathway for international students to study at the University of Melbourne. The program is run by the Pathways School within Trinity College. The Pathways School provides strong student support services and social activities thereby helping students’ transition from high school to university.
Early in 2020 the Trinity College Pathways School wanted to improve their online communication as they were heavily affected by COVID-19 and wanted to maintain connection with existing students and interested potential students.
They chose to implement a live online chat system on the website.
The Banking and Finance Oath - Hosting support & website upgrade
The Banking and Finance Oath (BFO) is an independent organisation who aims to raise the moral and ethical standards of the banking and finance industry to improve our society, through implementation of the Oath. The BFO is an industry led initiative that was launched online in 2013.
Previously the BFO website was supported and hosted by AMP Capital (due to the origins of the BFO project). The website was running on a very old version of the Kentico Content Management System. Problems arising with the operation of the BFO domain name prompted an urgent need to find a new continuous hosting and support arrangement.
Police Association of NSW - Mobile App
The Police Association of New South Wales is an association which represents the professional and industrial interests of approximately 16,500 members, police officers in New South Wales.
DDSN partnered with PANSW to create a world class mobile application specifically for the purpose of communicating with all members and keeping them up-to-date with all the important information like events, weekly rosters, reminders, changes about shifts, and other important information.
New College Communities - Website Re-design
New College is an undergraduate residential community on the campus of UNSW. There is also a postgraduate community New College Village for mature age students pursuing further studies a the University of New South Wales Sydney.
In 2019 the two colleges came to DDSN to create a Community website to serve both colleges. The New College Communities needed to give residents, parents, alumni, supporters, and other stakeholders in the community infomation about college applications, events and activities in a comprehensive and visually engaging manner.
The brand of UNSW as well as the brand of the two colleges needed to remain distinct in a joint presentation.
Hammond Care - DSA website rebrand
Dementia Support Australia (DSA) is an Australian government funded national partnership led by Hammond Care. This service brings a diverse range of dementia expertise from across the aged care industry of Australia through a network of offices across the country. DSA consultants provide timely, on-the-ground support, maintaining local knowledge and relationships.
After developing a new logo for DSA, Hammond Care wanted to change the colour palette for the DSA website aligning with the new logo. Hence, Hammond Care partnered with DDSN Interactive to rebrand and visually refresh the DSA website, to be able to match well with the new brand logo and what it represents.
