Selected work

The work behind the services.

A reporting dashboard, a publishing workflow, two research applications and a document library. Each one is a system people use.

Reporting dashboard

Shutters Cape

Seeing what the advertising submissions produce.

  • Reporting
  • Advertising
  • Static site

The requirement

The public site should stay simple to publish, and the business needs a clear view of the submissions that come from advertising.

Our work

The site is fully static and is deployed on Cloudflare. A reporting dashboard sits with it, for analysing those advertising submissions.

What was delivered

A static site, and a dashboard for reviewing what the advertising produces.

Publishing workflow

PressPortal

From a submitted release to the channels that carry it.

  • Submissions
  • Feeds
  • Newsletter

The requirement

Releases arrive from authors and from companies. They then have to reach the site, the feeds and the newsletter without a separate manual step for each channel.

Our work

The workflow accepts a submission from an author or a company, then handles RSS, the sitemap, social channels and the newsletter.

What was delivered

One submission path, and automation that carries a release through the site, the feeds and the newsletter.

Research application

Betweenity

Documents, search and access for a specialist readership.

  • Document submission
  • Search
  • Signed-in access

The requirement

The service holds specialist documents. People need to find them, and only the right accounts should be able to submit or read them.

Our work

A custom application for document submission, with search through Algolia and access limited to specific users.

What was delivered

A signed-in library where the right people can submit documents and search them.

Research application

Health Sector Scans

A health-sector library, with email that follows the subscription.

  • Subscriptions
  • Email
  • Signed-in access

The requirement

Practitioners need a library of health-sector developments, and a subscription that tells them when something new is added.

Our work

The application follows the same pattern as Betweenity, focused on the health sector. Joining, and the email that follows, run as an automated subscription.

What was delivered

A signed-in health-sector library, with the subscription and its email handled by the system.

Document library and news

tralac

News and source documents for trade law in Africa.

  • Documents
  • News
  • Trade law

The requirement

A trade-law centre needs its news and its source documents available together, for readers across Africa.

Our work

The site is a document repository and a news section for trade law across Africa.

What was delivered

One system for the news and for the documents that belong with it.

Your project

Your system may look different. The starting questions are similar.

Who needs to use it? What must it help them do? Which existing systems must it work with? And who will look after it? Those questions shape the brief before we recommend the technology.
