The CFA’s new website acts as a gateway to quality and professionalism in contract flooring, says Richard Catt.
IN a digital age where accessibility and user-friendliness are paramount, the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) has unveiled its refreshed website, designed to better serve its members, and engage with both existing and potential stakeholders. Located at www.cfa.org.uk
this revamped platform serves as the CFA’s shopfront, showcasing the organisation’s dedication to advancing the contract flooring industry.
A fresh look
The most noticeable change you’ll encounter when visiting our new website is its fresh, engaging appearance. We understand that first impressions count, and our revamped design aims to impress visitors from the moment they land on our homepage. We believe that aesthetics play a significant role in enhancing user experience, and our new look reflects our commitment to ensuring the CFA brand stays up to date and that we embrace innovation.
Enhanced member benefits
One of our primary objectives in updating the website was to create a seamless experience for members. Our improved Members Area is a testament to this commitment. With a user-friendly interface, members now have easier access to a wide range of exclusive benefits, including:
- Disclaimer and Terms & Conditions Templates: Access ready-made templates to simplify contractual processes, saving you time and effort.
- Technical Information: Stay updated with the latest industry standards and guidelines, ensuring you’re always at the forefront of your field.
- Training Information: Expand your skills and knowledge with our comprehensive training resources, designed to empower flooring professionals. We offer in person training through our training arm FITA (www.fita.co.uk – a joint venture with the NICF), including apprenticeship. CFA members receive 15% discount of all standard courses.
- List of Helplines: Find quick solutions to legal, employment and health and safety related queries, with a dedicated list of helplines at your fingertips.
- Simplified Membership Application
Joining the CFA has never been easier. We’ve streamlined the membership application process, making it more straightforward and user-friendly. Applying to become a part of our community of vetted flooring specialists is now much simpler.
We believe that by reducing barriers to entry, we can foster a stronger and more inclusive contract flooring industry. Don’t forget, CFA Membership only costs £735.00 per year plus VAT for a contractor member – that’s less per day than a coffee from your favourite barista.
Easy access to the CFA directory
Our revamped website also ensures that end users, specifiers, designers, and main contractors can effortlessly find and access our CFA directory. This comprehensive directory is a valuable resource for anyone seeking trusted contract flooring professionals. By simplifying the process of locating CFA members, we aim to strengthen the industry’s supply chain and elevate the standards of quality in contract flooring.
Elevating the CFA brand
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond serving our members. We believe that by enhancing the visibility and accessibility of our members, we elevate the entire contract flooring industry. As more end users and specifiers find CFA members easily, the trust in our community grows, benefitting all our stakeholders. Our new website acts as a gateway to quality and professionalism in contract flooring.
Whether you’re an existing member or someone looking to join the association, the new CFA website is your portal to excellence in contract flooring. Join us in shaping the future of the industry, where quality and professionalism are at the forefront of every project. One of our broad aims is to help your business be sustainable and profitable. Together we can create lasting success.
As this is my final article of the year, on behalf of all the CFA Council and the wider CFA team, I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year.
