European Social Forum 2004

After GreenNet won the tender process for this high profile project, we were given just 5 weeks to build a site that would work as the main administrative organ of this major event. We worked with ActionApps to build a system that could process secure payments for tickets and handle multilingual publication of content in five languages, displaying documents in their original language if no translation was available. In this way, no matter which language version of the site you were in, and how few documents existed in that language, you would always see all relevant documents.
We worked with WorldPay (WP) for processing online registration fees, and successfully dove-tailed the ActionApps registration slice with the WP system, so that data could be passed on through from the site’s own submission forms, to WP for secure payment. This was a particularly exciting aspect of the development work and opened up a new range of possibilities for ActionApps development projects in the future.

Web projects

GreenNet web projects are all about planning, designing, building and hosting websites that work for you and the issues you’re working on.

The GreenNet web team have spent the last ten years building dozens of websites for NGOs, campaigns, social enterprises, development projects, ethically-minded freelancers, community groups and many others besides. And we just get better and better at doing it which means a) all the work that is done in the name of one web project gets shared for the benefit of all subsequent projects and b) we're now the best we ever have been so there's never been a better time to ask us to build a site for you!

GreenNet web project basics

Every project is different but there are some pretty consistent threads running through all the sites we build:

  • Transparent navigation
  • Accessible content for both people and search engine robots
  • Simple data structures for organisations to update
  • Effective tools for collaboration between workers
  • Engaging spaces for supporters to interact with your work
