IFoA: User testing for new IFoA website now complete

Open-access content Friday 1st August 2014 — updated 9.20pm, Thursday 2nd April 2020

Our new website development is progressing and a detailed programme of user testing has recently been undertaken to ensure that it meets the needs of members and stakeholders.

Feedback has been positive and we are very grateful to all those testers who took part and were so generous with their time. Overall, the participants felt the site looked clean and uncluttered and that navigation, structure and newly written content were much improved.

The new website will go live at the end of the summer. This is the first exciting phase of ongoing digital developments at the IFoA. During the coming months we will be also be launching a Chinese microsite, which will contain region-specific information and promote our members in the Far East. 

We don't intend to stop there. In the next phase of development, after the launch of the new website, we will be making significant improvements to the search facility, reorganising more than 10,000 documents already on the site so that members see a noticeable improvement in search results.

Other ideas for future enhancements include:

• Online collaboration tools

• Online forms

• Online networking tools


 You can find out more about the digital strategy and future plans at bit.ly/1jSUe0B

Forging new paths

The Terminator is coming!  At least that's one potential vision of the future, invoked by Boris Johnson at the UN last year while he speculated about artificial intelligence (AI). We can certainly debate how realistic that vision is, and what the possible timescales might be.
