control of their content and provide a
better service to their tenants.”

strategies and includes information
such as job vacancies, contact
information, press releases and annual
reports, as well as offering online
access to tenant services.The site
also meets accessibility standards,
developed to level AA so that the site
is acessible to as many people as
possible, regardless of the way they
browse the web.

to work with Connect because we want a
modern, robust site that will support
the values our business is based on.

wanted a website that provided us with
a modern and user-friendly way of
showing we mean what we say. Connect
