MyTime
MyTime is a national parenting program provided by The Parenting Research Centre. MyTime groups in each state provide support for the parents, grandparents and carers of young children (under school age) with a disability or chronic medical condition.
The Parenting Research Centre approached surfacemedia to design and develop an online resource to support the MyTime program and enable staff to self manage website content.
Solution
surfacemedia worked together with PRC to identify the website’s key functional requirements and to explore web development options. Next, interface design mock-ups were created. The designs were finalised via an iterative process that included testing with end users.
surfacemedia proposed a solution that included the implementation of a powerful and robust CMS that PRC staff would find easy to use. The system includes a MyTime Group registration process, Latest News, FAQ’s and a secure Members area that features Web2.0 tools such as Blogs to help the program build and facilitate an online community of participants. Flash media and XML have been integrated to enhance the user experience.
The CMS also provides sophisticated user statistics that provide valuable insights into user behaviour on the MyTime site and into how users are searching for content of this type on the web.
Since its launch over 100 MyTime groups of parents have been registered nationwide.
