ANA Relaunches Improved Website

ANA RELAUNCHES IMPROVED WEBSITE

The Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) announced it has relaunched its website at www.ana-nigeria.com with a modern technology platform that provides new tools for members and easier access for users of smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices. The redesigned site incorporates a number of significant changes, increasing functionality and providing ANA members with a reliable and informative hub for ANA news and developments.

This was contained in a press statement issued and signed by the General Secretary of ANA, Mr. Maik Ortserga in Makurdi, Benue state capital yesterday.

In keeping with the Association’s strategic blueprint and mission, the brand-new site features simplified content, clear navigation, and a responsive layout for multiple platforms. It also incorporates a playful, vibrant look to reflect ANA’s new brand identity.

The site’s new interface and reader-friendly content vastly improves the user experience, making it easier for members to find – and benefit from resources and information about ANA events and programs. Elements include an enhanced member profile and member directory that is searchable by category and member type.

“Our main goal was to create a site that serves and supports all members, by providing them with the tools they need to be informed as duly registered members of the Association. This is the most significant major technology upgrade on the ANA website in nearly eight years. The website creates a foundation for future growth and strengthens the association’s position as the leading voice and resource for ANA members in Nigeria. The multimedia website will be managed by both the national PRO (South), Wole Adedoyin and the national PRO (North), Umar Yogiza. The website will continue to provide information and updates on ANA’s forthcoming plans, initiatives and events”.

The release further said that the website now uses an innovative software development approach called ‘response design’ that automatically recognizes the kind of device a visitor is using and renders a page that fits the dimensions of the device. Mobile phone users, for example, will see a home page that features links to the latest news, website content, and membership document of the association. The site also featured advanced new search technology that will enable users to find content more easily.

The ANA website is being technically managed and hosted by Boldscholar Ltd , an ICT and multimedia company that ANA has been in partnership with for the past 4 years.
