Organization
Chamber of commerce website completed in January 2018
Canada
The European Chamber of Commerce in Canada (EUCCAN) is the umbrella organization of 24 European Union bilateral Chambers of Commerce and Business Associations and 3 associate members from other European countries in Canada.
The purpose of the chamber of commerce website is to offer valuable up to date information to European business in Canada and to facilitate communication and coordination between the different organizations and regions throughout Canada.
My main challenge was to create a complex event calendar. Since EUCCAN’s members and partners organize business seminars and networking events throughout the year, it was necessary to create a custom calendar.
Features of the chamber of commerce website
– Interactive event calendar. The events can be sorted by type, by cities, by organizers
– Latest News feature
– Multilingual website (English and Canadian French)
– Interactive list of members
– Newsletter sign-up widget synchronized with emailing account
Outcomes of the project
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in Canada (EUCCAN) website received praise from its members. One of the most important challenge for me when I have to work on complex projects is to simplify the back-end so that my clients can have full ownership of the website.
The list of member and directories can be edited easily. The news section is very simple to update and can be filtered by news type.
For the events, I created an option to duplicate an event so that my client doesn’t have to start everything from scratch. I also implemented the option to create recurring events that can happen every week or month. It’s also possible to book tickets for the event as well as embed a Google map to the venue. Also some events can be highlighted with a different color on the calendar.
