Portfolio

Here' a selection of projects to indicate the range of work we do:

Localfoodshop - development of an e-commerce facility for small and artisan food producers, allowing locality and product type searches. A low cost, high marketing profile solution for small businesses and powering distribution hub office systems (now accommodated within BigBarn).

Mediation at Work - a website for a network of mediators, plus a project intranet for administration and budget management.

Virtual directories - piloted in Bradford on Avon, this website facility contains detailed information about both food producers, and outlets using local food. Members can easily update information on-line on products, availability, price, and allows buyers such as restaurants to specify their local produce needs.

Community supported agriculture - development of the website to create a forum and information resource for CSA practitioners (now hosted by the Soil Association).

f3 - the local food consultants - a co-operative of consultants in local and sustainable food enterprise (Simon's main consultancy work).

Alison Hope fundraising - a clean, simple and punchy site for a Bristol company.

...and a few other successes:

Google placement - we're really good at this, for example:

a search on 'local food' finds f3 in the top 3
a search on 'breadmaking courses' finds Wild Yeast Bakery in the top 5

Training in e-marketing - this one-day course for producers and food & drink support organisations offers hand- on help to producers in understanding the opportunities and practical steps towards effective e-marketing and e-commerce. Most recently run for Food & Drink Devon.

Learning networks - Simon established and facilitated a learning network for the Countryside Agency for 2 years.
