lumpy lemon was commissioned by oxford university’s department of politics to develop publicservices.ac.uk to present the findings of the 5-year ‘public services programme’. as well as the research papers and findings, there is a powerful search feature, sections for upcoming events and news stories, and an extensive library of publications. the website is powered by our content management system based on the open source wordpress platform, so the programme staff can easily maintain it.
lumpy lemon has worked with crisis action since it was founded in 2005. we developed an initial website for them (crisisaction.org), then as their organisation grew, we developed this into a multi-lingual site. we also designed their annual reports. recently, we designed (at very short notice!) protectdrc.org which together with a national media campaign put pressure on the government to act in eastern congo.
beautiful, fairly-traded jewellery photographed for oxfam’s catalogues and advertisements. our studio shots were then also used in pre-christmas publicity, in-store displays and other promotional materials.
martin stott is a busy man! he’s head of environment and resources at warwickshire county council, works for several charities, writes books, authors reports, and somehow finds time for photography and growing his own veggies. martin-stott.com was developed to bring together all his writings and information on his work and interests into one easy to use, clear, website.
an oxford-based landscape design practise, we designed and developed topio’s website (topio.co.uk) that uses our powerful content management system. this allows it to be easily expanded and updated without the need for a webmaster. in addition to this, we worked on the business stationery and provided design and print consultancy services.
our brief for this job was to make a plumber’s website that looked nothing like all the other plumbers’ websites! so we came up with a clean, fresh, spacious design which you can see at aqueco.co.uk. every page has a ‘snippet’ of info to show visitors the importance of saving water and co2, and how this can save them money. lumpy lemon also designed the logo to be used on all the business materials.
transitionculture.org is the personal blog of rob hopkins, one of the founders of the rapidly-spreading transition towns movement. his wordpress-powered blog was looking a bit dated so he asked us to completely redesign the entire site from the ground up. we developed several wordpress plugins to display the wide range of information on the site, and used open source software to improve the performance. around 1500 people visit the site daily, many of them getting involved & leaving comments.
oxtalk is a charity providing ‘talking newspapers’ to blind and visually impaired people around oxford. when they approached us they were still using cassette tapes, but knew they would need to switch to digital media in the near future. we designed their new logo and built oxtalk.org.uk to the highest standards of accessibility – it was unanimously approved by their network members. we now apply this level of accessibility to all our sites as a matter of course. we recently added the functionality for the ‘listen online’ feature, so members can now subscribe to the rss feed (podcast) for the latest edition, or listen to any edition from the archive.
