BBA Launches New Website
Story
The BBA’s Website www.bbacerts.co.uk is one of the industry’s busiest, with over 50,000 visitors each month spending several minutes finding information on Agrément Certificates, including downloading full text versions, as well as details of other BBA services, such as approved installers, testing and of course the What’s New page.
The site has been unchanged for several years now and the world of the web demands frequent refreshing of the look of websites, as well as their functionality as advancements in IT allow greater flexibility.
The new site has changed in both appearance and operation, with a more up-to-date look and an up-front Search facility on the home page. The Search facility was the most-often used part of the old site and the new site means users can get straight to it – one less click of the mouse. Searches can be made in listings of Agrément Certificates and Approved Installers. In the Certificates area, searches can be made by Agrément Certificate number, company name or Product Sheet Number (this is a new search field allowing individual Product Sheets under the same Certificate number to be found).
Searches can also be made by keyword. This is like searching in one of the commercial search engines such as Google or Yahoo. A word is keyed in and all Agrément Certificates featuring that word in their title or summary will be shown, with the option of downloading the full text PDF versions.
A Search Tips option gives a list of keywords that will definitely find relevant Agrément Certificates. On the installer’s side, the Search focuses on Cavity Wall Insulation but unlike the old website you can search on a Postcode Search as well as the Company Name or Installer Number.
