Portfolio

Community Internet Services has provided website design and hosting services across a wide range of the public sector and business organisations. Below are a selection of those currently under management by CIS.

InPortsmouth
The InPortsmouth site is included here as it is the flagship of Community Internet Services. It represents the commitment to provide community information that lies at the heart of all CIS work.

Health Improvement and Development Services Web Site

Health Improvement and Development Services
This site was developed at the request of the Health and Social Care Department of Portsmouth City Council. It is a large site with over 100 pages which are accessed via a colour co-ordinated navigation system.

Health Improvement and Development Services Fit4Life Web Site

Fit4Life
A second site for the Health and Social Care Department of Portsmouth City Council, Fit4Life is built around a database of activities for the 50+ age group in Portsmouth. It has a hand built Content Management System which allows PCC staff to maintain the database from their own desks.

Royal Beach Hotel
The Royal Beach Hotel is a member of the Best Western Group and as such the web site had to conform to general principles laid down by the parent company. We incorporated these principles into a 25 page site which contains some unusual features. Check out the Christmas brochure.

Civil Services Pensioners Alliance
CIS offer registered charities and non-profit making organisations special rates for design and hosting. The CSPA pay one annual fee to cover all hosting and design charges as well as all updates based on a £30 hourly fee.

Portsmouth & Southsea Hoteliers Association
30 Southsea hoteliers commissioned CIS to build this site which costs them around £12 per year each. They further economised by opting for a sub-domain of the InPortsmouth site.

Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust
Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust are based in Bursledon and they wanted a site that promoted their conservation work whilst also publicising events that take place at the Brickworks, the courses they offer and the traditional building materials they sell.

Albert Road Traders Association
The site for the Albert Road Traders Association presented a real challenge as there were 50 different businesses to be promoted without giving undue preference to any one. This required something of a novel solution. Have a look yourself.
