Rebuild and Revamp of LRI's trusty WordPress website,

• We supported LRI to rethink their web presence, focusing the user journey on LRI's priorities and objectives
• We supported LRI to revise their resources library classification scheme, imported and restructured their extensive library and devised a new custom filtered search tool to optimise findability and accessibility.
• Carried out a full design refresh and website rebrand, working with Karen to create a new theme that promotes LRI's activities
• Integration with LRI's other online activities - mailing list signup and plays nicely with the app

Delivered on budget just in time for the COP25 

GreenNet has been working with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) research institute located at the University of Sussex on the Participatory Methods website since its inception, we initially built the website using Drupal 7, and over the years have provided updates and maintenance for this essential resource for development work.

We carried out this project on schedule and on budget in time for the end of 2024. The re-launch on WordPress was met with acclaim by practitioners and academic peers, and ensures that the repository will remain accessible and sustainable for years to come. We used the latest WP blocks to implement custom designs from Karen Beal, incorporating illustrations commissioned specially from Tessa Lewin.

Ed and Liz at GreenNet have supported the Institute of Development Studies with the hosting, maintenance and development of participatorymethods.org for over 20 years. GreenNet have always been efficient, responsive and easy to work with. In 2024, we commissioned GreenNet to work with us on a major re-organisation of participatorymethods.org, including re-building the website in WordPress. From start to finish, Ed and Liz made the process easy to manage, with clear timelines and responsive communication. At each stage it was clear what they needed from our side and what they would be focusing on next. They integrated the work of both a designer and an illustrator with ease. There was great attention to detail and proactivity, and we used a user-friendly collaborative project management tool to keep track of moving parts. When facing tight deadlines, GreenNet communicated clearly about practical steps needed to get things done in time. I would thoroughly recommend GreenNet for website development and maintenance.

We helped long time GN clients on The Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee's campaign for a statue to Sylvia to re-do their simple static website in a WordPress CMS. We supported them to move their archive of annual lectures and updates and revise the navigation and presentation of the campaign's content quickly and neatly in a new online home where it's easier to edit as well as to read. We relaunched the site in 2023 and are hoping that the statue will be unveiled this year.

Wave invited us to collaborate on a new website for the Non-negotiable campaign for corporate responsibility in Canada, run by the 40 member organizations of the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability.

Wave created a custom design and GreenNet built and themed the site using WordPress CMS in French and English. The website is hosted on CNCA's servers.

We worked with Sarah Macbeth to design and build a custom themed WordPress for the European Network on Statelessness.The website features video stories and clear calls to action for supporters.

ENS gave us a detailed brief which and we worked closely with them and with Sarah's cutom designs to deliver the project on budget and on time for their campaign launch.

We built this website at high speed in time for COP26.

ECA Watch coalition commissioned us for this project, which involved bringing together contributors from ECA watch member organisations all over the world for a series of online planning and development meetings.

We worked with Wave to build a neat campaigning site in around 6 weeks to ECA Watch's specifications,

• Online open letter signup

• Custom WordPress theme

• Interactive map

• Open Source software

• Website Hosted on GreenNet's servers powered by renewably sourced energy

• Project meetings held on GreenNet's private online Jitsi meeting space

 

We've worked with The International Campaign for Women's Right to Safe Abortion for a few years, since we started hosting their old WordPress website while Sarah at Kestrel Copy fixed it up. When the time came for an upgrade we put in a bid and were thrilled to have our proposal accepted, working in partnership with Wave.coop.

We held a planning session with Wave and SAWR to create the new architecture, ensuring that their deep archives of news and libraries of articles were presented optimally for findability and accessibility.

The project was not altogether straightforward because the environment for campaigning NGOs is demanding and at one stage we had to pause for a few months while the campaign focussed on overcoming irl challenges, but we persevered together and were really happy with the outcome!

The ICWRSA Annual Report January 2020 – December 2021 details the success of the new website.

We were delighted to launch the new website in October 2020. At over four years of age, our previous website had been in need of an overhaul for some time, so we teamed up with socially-conscious web developers GreenNet and design cooperative Wave to revitalise our digital presence. Development of the site has been ongoing throughout 2021. The new site features better images, easier navigation, optimisation for mobile devices, and more resources to help support our network of member organisations and individuals working tirelessly for women’s right to safe abortion worldwide.

The new website features a stunning custom visual design by Karen at Wave, coded as a fully responsive custom WordPress theme by Julian at Wave, Liz at GreenNet handled the complex content migration, and it's all hosted on GreenNet's renewably powered servers!

We were thrilled to win the commission to rebuild our existing customer's website, an update to IER's trusty Drupal 6.

Working with IER staff and Wave.coop we planned a restructure of their website architecture and selected WordPress CMS. Karen at Wave created a wonderful custom visual design and updated IER's branding. Liz at GreenNet painstakingly migrated the entire IER content archive including membership and news archives from Drupal to WP, and consulting closely with IER, we re-built the library, shop and subscriptions systems .

The new website is the heart of IER's operations, handling membership and sales of publications as well as feeding their essential email broadcasts.

 

We supported NAW's move from a static website onto WordPress content management system.

JB had got funding to develop their last website which left them locked in to a proprietary Content Management System with a high monthly fee - they needed to escape!

GreenNet provided a WordPress CMS and carried out a rescue of JB's content, including archives of events and blogs. We carefully replicated the visual design and architecture in the new web space so that JB can carry out the next stage of their online transformation in an open source environment.
