Background

The Financial Times Business Development team approached Earthware and our sister web development company, Technology Studio, to redevelop their global investments website fDiAtlas.com. Their main requirement was for business intelligence mapping that would present global investment opportunities and allow site visitors to quickly find the information they were looking for.

Why Earthware

The Financial Times were keen to work with a website and digital mapping development company who could meet their short delivery timeframes and who would partner with them in a long term relationship to build a world leading website and continue to evolve the site to meet future requirements. This is Earthware’s preferred way of working with clients so developing the partnership was a natural fit.

What Did We Deliver?

• A user friendly, intuitive and professional ASP.NET MVC website with a Bing Maps Ajax mapping solution at its core
• Cross browser compatible maps which display complex investment information in a simple to understand geographical context
• A web based administration system for both the Financial Times and their partners to quickly and simply update the site’s content
• User testing and usability consultations to help continually improve the mapping experience for visitors
