Have a look at some of our recent developments.

The Glasgow Guarantee, launched in September 2015, is the biggest programme of its kind in the UK. A legacy of the Commonwealth Games, the £50 million programme offers a commitment that all sectors in the city will work together to ensure that the citizens of Glasgow are assisted into employment and training.

The mobile responsive website we developed includes:

• complete redesign of existing site to suit client's needs
• an improved user registration process for quicker access to vacancies
• integration of the Secure Your Future directory.

The Association of Directors of Education in Scotland (ADES), an independent professional network for leaders and managers in education and children’s services, commissioned us to develop and design their new website. The main aim was to enable ADES members and other site users to share and access up to date and relevant information.

Features on the mobile responsive site include:

• news and events sections
• ability to upload publications, reports and national consultations
• a blog, for more informal communication with members and users.

The Glasgow City Centre Mural Trail showcases unique pieces of art by local artists, which add splashes of colour on streets and buildings within walking distance of the city centre.

To provide information on visiting the trail, Glasgow City Council’s Graphics Team designed a site layout, which we developed into a mobile responsive website with content management system.

Features include:

• ability to upload text and image content
• interactive street mural map with active geolocation tracking
• anonymous recording of visits via the interactive maps, triggered by close proximity to a mural.

Developed initially for Glasgow City Council, and now also used by Renfrewshire Council, this online system allows production companies, head teachers and parents to complete and submit applications for children’s entertainment licences electronically, eliminating paperwork and streamlining the process for all parties.

The features include:

• online forms for production companies, parents and schools to complete
• an administrators area where local authorities can review, manage, approve and reject applications
• templates for letters and licence documents
• a reporting system.

Developed initially for Glasgow City Council schools, and now used by several Scottish local authorities, the MerIT e-portfolio designed to help pupils from P5 to S6 to:

• record and view their achievements and learning in, and outside, school
• review and reflect on what they have achieved
• relate their achievements to the four contexts of learning within the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE)
• produce personalised pupil profiles and learner statements at key transition points
• store examples of their achievements and get online feedback from their teachers.

FOCUS was developed in collaboration with colleagues from Glasgow City Council Corporate Graphics Team and Education Services as an interactive tool for schools to access and interrogate holistic data across the BGE (broad general education) to support Glasgow’s Improvement Challenge (GIC) 2015-2020 which includes the government’s Scottish Attainment Challenge.

FOCUS is a web based interactive tool for schools that helps them examine pupil achievement of CfE (Curriculum for Excellence) levels through a number of lenses. This includes EAL (English as an additional language), ethnicity, deprivation (Social Index of Multiple Deprivation) and other appropriate lenses.
