UKTFA revamps website to help establish timber frame as the construction method of choice
(14/05/2010)

The UK Timber Frame Association (UKTFA) has launched its new look website. The re-vamped website has been specifically designed to be the driving force behind the UKTFA’s aim to establish timber frame as the construction method of choice for an industry recognizing the need for a more carbon efficient future.

Whilst providing potential customers with the ability to learn more about the many sustainable benefits of timber frame construction, the new website will be the essential go-to portal for those wanting all the latest news and views from industry insiders. It will also offer updates on the UKTFA’s Fabric First and SiteSafe campaigns and keep members abreast of its on-going lobbying activities.

A substantial members area is set to add value to membership, offering the opportunity to showcase news, case studies, and cross promote services to fellow members. However, even non-members will now be able benefit from the highly accessible search options, which will make accessing the information relevant to each individual user easier to both source and digest - ultimately improving the visibility of the timber frame industry and its green credentials to the public domain.

Geoff Arnold, UKTFA Chairman commented: “We have streamlined a large amount of the content from our previous website, and as a result it is quicker-loading and more accessible, with bite size, yet informative chunks.

“Our hope is that this website will provide us with a great platform to not only communicate the benefits of using timber frame, but to also show off the excellent work of our valued membership. This is just one essential piece of a larger jigsaw puzzle that enables us to maintain our unified stance on all the issues facing the industry.”
