Website Design & Development :

The World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA) is a large international medical charity, with member societies from a 135 different countries.

Information Architecture

The website necessarily carries a vast amount of important information, so the central design challenge was to structure the content in a way that made it easy to find. This was achieved by offering the visitor multiple, logical navigation aids: clear indicators marking their place within the multi-level information hierarchy: a prominent 'breadcrumb' view, etc.

Interactive Workforce Map

Special features include the 'Workforce Map' where workforce data collected by the WFSA is displayed via an interactive world map showing the 'Density of Physician Anaesthesia Providers' for each country, plus other statistical details.

The website also includes a interactive 'Directory of Members', News, Events and 'Opportunities' listings.

Strategic Review of Policing

Website Design & Development :

We've been working with The Police Foundation for a number of years, maintaining their main website. So when they needed a 'sister' website for a major research project: "The Strategic Review of Policing", we were asked to help.

Regular Announcements

The Strategic Review is a on-going, active research project, so the website required space to highlight new publication announcements, press releases, news and articles. The website's home page is designed to reflect this; after a short introduction, space is quickly given over to latest news, blog posts and to the site's Twitter feed.

Multiple Authors, Easy Management

With many experts and academics involved in the research, the website's content management system (CMS) allows multiple authors to separately login and contribute articles and news items.

Website Design & Development :

The British Psychosocial Oncology Society (BPOS) asked for our help because they realised their old website wasn't helping them!

Much Needed Redesign

The old site was hard for visitors to use, it wasn't easy to modify or update, and the site wasn't being found because Search Engines like Google weren't listing it. With the new website we designed and developed for BPOS, all these issues have now been eradicated.

We re-mapped the information to follow a strong logical hierarchy, and produced a clear navigation system making it easy for site visitors to quickly find what they want.

Better Website Management

We chose an easy to use CMS platform with bespoke customisation, to make editing and updating the website simple. And as professional web designers we naturally employed search engine optimisation (SEO) methods to ensure the site is now easily found across all search engines.

Website Design & Development :

Severe ME is a website centred around a book written by M.E. sufferer Emily Collingridge, and sold by the charity Action for M.E. The book has become an important resource for those affected by M.E. and has recieved many positive reviews.

Complete Redesign

This is our third redesign for this website. When our client requested some major changes, we thought it important to 'reframe' the new content in a way that made it more accessible and offered a better user experience (UX).

Taking advantage of the latest coding techniques, we designed a wider, multi-column layout for display on large screens. As a text-heavy site, we also completely remodelled the typographic style. These changes make the site feel more spacious, inviting and easier to read.

Website Design & Development :

Blossom Aesthetics is a small beauty clinic based in Fareham.

Professional Help Needed

They initially used one of the many 'Build you own website - made easy' services, but soon realised the system was inflexible and wasn't capable of giving them what they really wanted.

They were also aware that they needed some professional input to help with the design.

Target Audience Research

The requirements brief was a simple brochure website, highlighting the clinic's services. Based on target audience research, we developed the website to appeal primarily to mobile (Smartphone) users. We arranged a professional photography session, so we could ensure a consistent look for all the key 'treatment' images on the website.

Overall the design is simple, 'spacious' and minimalist. And for those accessing the site via 3G/4G, the site is fast and responsive.

McDougall Trust
Educational Charity

The McDougall Trust purposes are to advance knowledge of and to encourage the study of methods of election.

Having worked with the McDougall Trust for over ten years, this is now our third revision of their website. With this iteration McDougall needed a feature for creating articles, book reviews and blog posts; so we added 'blog' and 'news' functions to accommodate these new requirements.

The website includes a CMS, allowing the Trust to update and maintain their website's themselves.

SLAN, Advice Charity

Southwark Legal Advice Network
Advice Charity

Southwark Legal Advice Network (SLAN) website exists to improve access to quality assured advice for people in greatest need.

Because of our work with Citizens Advice Southwark (see above), we were invited to redesign and develop the SLAN website for similar reasons - the old site was hard to use, difficult to update, and wasn't responsive on all devices (Smartphones, tablets, etc.)

The new site's content was restructured to emphasise their core aims, and to aid usability/UX. A simplier navigation menu was also added. The visual design is bright, yet easy to read, and It now works on all devices - Smartphones, Tablets and Desktop.

Assumption Religious
Christian & Education Charity

Assumption Religious came to us, as a referral from Assumption Volunteers.

From a design and development perspective we researched and ascertained AR's target users/audiences and redesigned the site's information architecture and sitemap to best fit. Navigating the site was made far simpler, making it much easier for visitors to find what they need quickly.

As with Assumption Volunteers, we developed the website using 'Responsive Design' allowing every visitor's 'user experience' to be enhanced, whether using a mobile Smartphone, Tablet or a Desktop PC.
