Service	Description
deboraheade.net	The brief from Deborah was a bit of a departure from the more usual list of organisational advocacy-led requirements that we get in the GN Web Projects dept. Hers was a need for a modest site that could work as an effective stall for her to sell her freelance skills. After years of working as a writer and editor for a range of sustainable development publications, she decided it was time to capture that history in a way that would help her potential clients get the measure of her work quickly and effectively.
Development in Practice	This rebuild project was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the journal. Although the printed version has had an online presence for nearly 10 years now, this new Drupal site is the boldest departure DIP has yet made from its printed form. The content is still available in its conventional volume/issue listing. But the careful keyword indexing on all journal abstracts, means that you can now sort abstracts into topic and regional lists.
Diaspora Volunteering Alliance	The DVA is a new initiative of a group of UK organisations with a common interest in sending diaspora volunteers to support projects in their countries and continents of origin. DVA staff approached GreenNet with a brief to build a website that could quickly provide an online presence for the Alliance – a space for them to publicise the initiative’s aims, and stimulate interest from potential volunteers and diaspora organisations.
DPU Associates	The DPU associates are a group of consultants who have all been members of the academic staff of the Development Planning Unit at University College London. They do research and training in the specialist field of urban planning for development. In 2006 their coordinator approached us with a request to build a site which could be used as a simple store-front to raise their professional profiles and publicise their areas of expertise.
Drupal Search using Apache Solr	Apache Solr is an incredibly fast and powerful search with its own database that is well suited to handling complex queries across records of large databases. This service is mainly aimed at developers and web site administrators who are looking to improve the way their site can be searched and navigated.
Electronic Immigration Network	Our last announcement of a new site for the EIN in 2002 marked the beginning of a completely new approach to web development at GreenNet. The research and development that went into the EIN's case-building 'bundlemaker' software, advanced searching tools, membership management systems and secure access had application for dozens of subsequent projects. Nearly 10 years later we've come full circle and used the learning from all those projects to completely rebuild the EIN.
End Water Poverty	End Water Poverty's old site had served them well for a number of years, but began creaking at the seams as their content needs evolved and the site wasn't able to keep pace. The new site's aim was to bring the issues and campaigns of EWP to life - especially for their growing network of water and sanitation NGOs around the world. We worked on a design that would be more engaging for incidental visitors and committed visitors, that could provide clear campaign information on a single page making it simple for users to see how they can get involved and support the movement.
EU Directive on Cookies and Drupal websites	There is a good deal of confusion on the recent changes in government legislation regarding the use of cookies on websites, and how best to comply with it. On this page we will attempt to clarify our understanding of the legislation and what steps we can support you with in terms of compliance.
European Asylum Law Database	This legal database project was made possible by a European Union grant to the Irish Refugee Council. The idea was to create a central searchable archive of immigration case law summaries from 11 EU member states which would allow for useful comparisons of cases across the countries according to a set of priority issues and provisions.
FERN and Sinkswatch	FERN’s European Union advocacy work is focused on protecting forests and defending the rights of forest peoples. They approached us in 2008 with a familiar tale of a website that was not keeping pace with the growth and change in their activities. More of their content was being written in French as well as English and the volume and diversity of their publications was lost in a system that didn’t index it usefully. We set up a new Drupal site for FERN with a French language sub-section, and a much more powerful publications search.
