Our Web site
The website is meant to communicate to represent our overall business to all stakeholders. We therefore must balance our messaging for investors and analysts with the content that may be of interest to employees, local communities and other stakeholders.
Our web site represents the embodiment of our brand.

PHOTOS
Designers typically lean towards high resolution images with colours complimentary to the brand tones.
Selection of images should be made with respect to the final aspect ratio of the page position. When selecting photos, ensure the focus of the photo can be held in frame with enough detail around the subject to ensure the image has relevance.
Please ensure that fonts within photos do not conflict with copy as in background street signs etc. All images should convey a similar standard of emotion in addition to proper colour and image composition.

The Dundee Precious Metals Website is unique on a number of levels. There is the multi-lingual aspect which represents the international nature of the company. The site is available for viewing in English and Bulgarian. Another important component of the site is its additional feeds for News, Stock and Gold Indices. We also post tenders and vacancies for each location. Content to present Exploration and Development initiatives is included to demonstrate our Growth strategy. We have included extensive environmental, health, safety and community support content, with stories organized for each operating region. There is substantial cross linking of relevant material, for ease of access, and use of vibrant infographics and imagery throughout the site.
