Adding Greater Usability to the Mix, MindComet Makes Aboutseafood.com a Consumer Friendly Resource
Today MindComet, Central Florida’s leading interactive agency and the National Fisheries Institute (NFI), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing seafood education, safety, and sustainability, re-launched NFI’s website. Aboutseafood.com delivers greater access and interactivity for consumers, partners, and the members of NFI. The site redesign brings new social media and consumer generated elements to the site including downloadable recipe cards, multiple blogs, seafood safety news for pregnant women, and an interactive human body, which highlights the benefits seafood has on correlating body parts such as the brain and heart.
The web redesign project began in January 2008 with several stakeholder interviews. While the website mainly focuses on the consumer interests it also serves the needs of industry insiders including NFI members and their partners. After collaborating with NFI to gather data from the existing site, MindComet began the development process. Within a few short months the creative design and web development were complete. MindComet successfully launched the redesign of the web resource for all things seafood in late May 2008.
“We really wanted the site to share seafood health benefits and consumer safety information while also being be fun and engaging to the end user,” said Vice President of Membership and Marketing, Judy Dashiell. “With the site having consumer generated media capabilities such as user submitted recipes and videos, it allows the consumers to not only obtain information, but to share their own as well. “
MindComet works with NFI on additional web related projects including online media buying, recipe widget development and search strategies for the Shrimp Council’s website EatShrimp.com. Additionally, MindComet is developing NFI’s eatshrimp.com website redesign, expected to launch in late June. For more information, visit www.aboutseafood.com .
