The Environmental Quality Mark is an award to support and promote sustainable business activity. The website and app have three main functions:

• An interactive platform for businesses to conduct assessments of how they demonstrate passion for place and environment and build an action plan for the future. Assessors then review and bestow awards
• A carbon footprint tool that lets users record and track their energy usage, transport, waste and other factors. This tool can form part of the award assessment or can be used standalone
• A promotional website for the organisation itself, which also promotes award holders from various areas of the country

The Futures Group is one of the leading employment and skills organisations in the East Midlands. It provides and brokers advice and guidance to young people, individuals and organisations.

We worked with their strong rebrand to build three websites targeted at different user groups: Futures for You, Futures for Business and The Futures Group. 

The new website is fresh and bright (much like the futures of its beneficiaries…), and beautifully responsive.

We have worked with Futures for a decade now, providing all kinds of custom design, apps/systems and web functionality.

This colossal app is an interface for information. It collects data about service users and their progress so that First Steps can continuously monitor and improve the support they offer.

The app is for use by staff, and the goal for the design was to encourage consistent and coherent use of the system, which ultimately improves the quality of the data collected. A few features include:

• Comprehensive data management for individuals;
• Monitor and record activities such as counselling sessions, email support, volunteering and much more;
• Events scheduling and attendance management;
• Integration with external newsletter providers and ad-hoc mailings within the system;
• Bespoke evaluation forms on a per-event/activity basis allowing monitoring over time, for each activity, or more widely across the service;
• A fully-featured reporting system with some very smart features;
• Extensive logging and tracking of changes and usage of the system.

The app is built on a slick and solid stack of modern technologies. We are really proud of this custom database development.

We have worked with Mondo for years now, and we have really enjoyed helping them with this latest move forward.

They are dedicated to maximising the amount of funding that goes directly to projects on the ground, so there is a push to reduce the amount spent on marketing and administration. We helped customise and implement a Wordpress site here, which has really helped the current team who were already familiar with its interface.

Teach A Man To Fish works with educators and young people around the world to set up youth-led enterprises which are both educational and profitable. Who couldn't love working with an organisation like that!

The website is bold and ambitious. We developed a range of flexible content elements that the team can use to create pages that are visually engaging and also maintain a design language across the site.

We built this large, robust and elegant information management database for The Care Group.

They manage accommodation for refugees and migrants in the Kent region. With such a large and ever-changing tenant base across many properties the app helps them:

• keep track of who and where tenants are;
• monitor conditions and repairs needed;
• track utilities usage and billing;
• coordinate maintenance providers;
• track invoicing and costs of repairs and maintenance;
• provide detailed reports of activities for their contractors;
• keep staff safe with an emergency support feature that utilises GPS and sends text/SMS messages.

The app is fully responsive — meant to be used in the field — and is built with some cool current technologies like PHP 7.1 (on Laravel), RequireJS, Composer et al. It is easy on the eye too, which helps encourage staff to keep the data up-to-date.

This project is set to change the world. No, really. It is something that we truly believe in. The website element is just getting started to support this social movement.

We will be generating a network of people around the world who contribute to a knowledgebase of evidence. This will help to quietly lead change at a global level. Go on — take a few minutes to read the site and see what is going on!

The Access Association website is designed to promote the activity of the organisation as well as provide a membership paltform to support the groups and businesses that belong to it.

The team at AA are very capable so after some initial training we were able to hand over the site for them to manage in its entirety, with only the odd email every few months!

This superb tool lets sufferers of Hemiplegia (or their carers) generate a report for their employers or education provider which describes the impact of their condition and any practical or personal support should be in place. Hemiplegia can have very wide-ranging symptoms and so cannot be described at anything other than an individual level.

The app is built to be very clear to use — a number of the users will have difficulties with comprehension, concentration or interaction. It was very well received at their launch event and has helped many sufferers since.

Wheels to Work is a national scheme to offer support getting to work, education or training. This is often in the form of a moped training and loan, funding for a bike or help with public transport.

We built this site for the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and County Durham schemes. It is light, fluid and takes you on a journey through the information available.

Hover over a couple of the little arrow-circles — a lovely little interaction like this can really help to lift a site experience for users.

This county-wide data management application has engaged partners within the community and voluntary sector. The aim was to pool all of their contact data and work monitoring so they could work more effectively and provide richer information about what is going on in the county.

You should read a bit more about the features and functionality of the application to get a picture of the scope and approach of this project.

This is the public-facing side of the regional shared database project we have completed. The directory provides a searchable list all of the community-based organisations (e.g. charities, local and voluntary groups) across Derbyshire, and people can manage their own details online.

We introduced a clean and uncluttered feel to the site whilst still providing advanced functionality.

Over the years we have built over 100 websites and web-based apps, widgets and integrations. 

From simple portfolio sites to complex applications that integrate with external systems. From quirky friendly design to efficient, optimised usability. Static html, custom content management, famous tools like Wordpress, non-famous (but better) tools like MODX. Coding platforms like Laravel, Symfony... we've delved into it all.  

Give us a call to find out how we can support your project, and let's make the world a better place.
