We won the contract in 2013 to migrate Handicap International's online resource centre onto a new accessible platform. Asksource.info comprises a unique collection of information on disability and inclusion in development and humanitarian contexts aimed at practitioners and academics.

The collection contained over 8,000 items, including details of books, reports, websites, organisations, newsletters and pre-prepared key lists organised by topic area, and is the only such resource to reflect the experiences and priorities of practitioners in developing countries.

We rebuilt the site on Drupal 7 to a fully responsive design, and implemented sophisticated search options to improve access to the content. The new site integrates AskSource's newsletter, which provides subscribers with updates on new resources and allows users to log in and create their own listings.

We undertook a complex data migration which ultimately transferred over 13,000 records, ensuring that crucial meta information such as details of organisations, publishers are findable using search and keywords while retaining Source's scheme of key lists for topic areas.

The CLTS(Community Led Total Sanitation) project at IDS(Institute of Development Studies) has spent the last years in a small corner of the Livelihoods Connect website. As the project, its reputation and its reach have grown, calls have grown for it to have its own purpose built website where all its resources and news can be easily sorted and accessed. Because of time constraints we took a phased approach to the web development - beginning with a very simple site that would be ready in time for their annual international gathering.
GreenNet partnered with "Wave":http://www.wave.coop for the design element of the project. They created a custom page design using CLTS images. Their design is based on clean, well structured xhtml code in a non-table based layout and using cascading style sheets (CSS) for all the presentational information. This improves the site’s chances in search engine content rankings and also makes pages quicker to download, much more accessible to all users and easier to update.
