Search support: Sustainable Development

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.

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.

The FAAN project brings together partners from across Europe that are involved with local, sustainable small scale producer retailers. The project needed a public website and a community networking area for its partners, which provided alternate language content and multiple access levels for the different types of users.
The project has a neat navigation that guides users through a well-tagged resource-rich site.
