As the year draws to a close I thought it would be fitting to write a blog post detailing our progress in the last 12 months. If 2008 was the year we got our house in order then 2009 was the year we built the foundations for our new house.

Our projects 2009

So what have we done? Well we’ve made a lot of headway with our new external-facing website. Two of the largest sections (Study and Research) have been developed and additional functionality created. We’ve replaced our news system, created a number of ‘feature’ sites to celebrate and showcase events and launched a new video area to name a few! As always it’s difficult to remember everything so our (helpful!) wall chart shows our projects and associated timelines.

This was also the year when the new design came to life. Thanks to our designer, Liam McMurray, we not only have guidelines for colour, typography and photography but we have a range of fabulous sites which really show where we’re heading with our visual identity.

Next year we’ve lots of new and exciting things planned but you’ll need to keep reading to find out more.

Until then, from all of us in Web Services, have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
