Service Description
Freedom of Expression Project

This site was built to monitor the communication rights debate and discussion emerging from the changing information communication technologies landscape. It makes a radical departure from conventional formal navigation systems by using free tagging to structure content. After struggling to come up with a one-size-fits-all hierarchical structure for the content of the site, we abandoned the hierarchy and developed a right hand menu which Drupal dynamically generates from the keyword ‘tags’ which writers have attached to their content, allowing readers to construct their own themed lists of articles.

Freshwater Action Network - Mexico

The Freshwater Action Network came to GreenNet in 2011 with an already-built global website. We worked together with FAN to make a schedule and coherent plan for developing and maintaining the global site, and then turned our attention to a new micro-site for their members in Mexico. Using the same underpinning database, we were able to create a site that both stands alone and works together with the global site. It seamlessly features global content where appropriate, but is firmly grounded design and content-wise in its Mexican user base.

Global Dialogue

Global Dialogue runs a sub-granting process to support local NGOs by establishing local Strategic Funds, that support local democracy and human rights projects. GD first contacted us about a web project when The Strategic Fund for Turkey was created in 2007. They needed a very minimal ‘leaflet-style’ online presence that they could point their supporters to for more information. They also wanted something up very quickly. We used the Drupal CMS to create the site, and a generic theme for the page design. In this way the site works as it is, but can be extended and elaborated on at any time.

Global Network of Sex Work Projects

NSWP's old online home was made up of a Wordpress blog and and Plone database of resources. Keeping things together, findable and updatable was becoming increasingly difficult, and serving the needs of a multi-lingual membership spread out in groups around the world had fallen by the wayside. Our brief was to build a new home for the network that would bring together all NSWP's resources and news with an obvious spotlight on key publications such as the Making Sex Work Safe handbook and the Research for Sex Work archive.

Gyaan Yatra

Gyaan Yatra is an initiative of the Asian Foundation for Philanthropy, designed to animate debate and understanding of development issues as a way of raising awareness. And as part of this work it also cultivates a group of development ambassadors, young people who are involved in AFP's development leadership scheme. Now translating all of that into requirements for the website meant coming up with a structure that could provide:

Ideas Forum

The public site of the International Development Education Association of Scotland (IDEAS) needed a robust and clear navigation that could serve a fairly diverse audience with easily accessible development education resources. Meanwhile IDEAS Members needed a private space for work-based discussion and access to internal documents.
Drupal’s finely grained permissions system made it possible for us to construct these differently tuned areas of the site with their contrasting access permissions and tools, behind a single IDEAS front door.

Institute of Employment Rights

The challenge in developing a new website for the Institute of Employment Rights, was to create something as functional as possible without making management too complex for the overstretched staff. IER’s new website now comes complete with an up to date schedule of events, lists all the latest publications, projects and provides a secure space to subscribe online.

International Year of Cooperatives

In celebration of the UN's decision to make 2012 the International Year of Co-operatives, the International Cooperatives Association commissioned GreenNet and Wave to build and design a special site for the year. In the spirit of cooperation the site draws together content for republishing from stories.coop and thenews.coop.

IWPR Intranet

After completing the IWPR public website, we turned our attention to developing a private site that could form a useful virtual office for the distributed team of writers, trainers and researchers who work for the organisation. The private workspace was built using Drupal, and includes a calendar and special file management system – developed specifically for this project, but now available to all Drupal-driven sites. The file store area allows for workers’ local files to be organised and shared in the folders of the Intranet using a ‘drag & drop’ method.

Logging Off

After we completed the FERN and SinksWatch websites in early 2010, Logging Off was next in the queue from this stable. The project was borne partly out of a need to improve the update-ability of the Logging Off site, but also fitted into  FERN's grander plans to standardise their online platforms using Drupal.
