A new Customer Accounts system to submit permit applications and manage existing permits was designed into the new website. The system is entirely web based and integrates directly with their existing permit top-up syst
Online Payment System: We designed the TT2 mobile experience from the ground up to only offer content that people might need on-the-go. Smart phone visitors are given the option to view a mobile optimised version of their site should they wish to, proving to be very successful. When designing the experience we kept things simple. When you’re commuting to and from work with the knowledge of how long your journey is likely take proves to be very useful. You can even view the live web cam feeds to see how the traffic looks!
