We’ve launched the first of two new websites for FIM Capital Ltd, who have recently changed their name from IOMA Fund and Investment Management Limited.
We worked with FIM Capital’s selected designer The Hive to deliver a sleek, easily updated website that looks good on devices from desktop to mobile.
The site is based on WordPress, making it an easy to maintain and cost-effective option, but overlaid with completely bespoke design and a few neat touches!
Prater Raines advised on site usability throughout the development process, proposing solutions that would ensure the best possibly usability of the sites design on all devices and screen sizes.
Tell MAMA (“Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks”) supports victims of anti-Muslim hate and is a public service which also measures and monitors anti-Muslim incidents. Their existing website was looking dated so they came to us for help improving its look and usability.
This project involved creating a new design for an existing WordPress installation, with the creation of a customised contact form for reporting hate crimes and anti-Islamic extremism in the UK. The ability to automatically share posts to social media was also added to the site’s functionality.
Prater Raines were delighted to be asked to support Faith Matters in improving and updating their web offering.
This project involved importing an existing Joomla website’s content into WordPress, applying a new design, and then transferring all files, including the MySQL database, to the client’s existing hosting.
The new site needed to aggregate content from the Tell MAMA and Religious Reader sites, and involved the development of a WordPress Plugin in order to allow for the downloading of PDF file reports. The ability to automatically share posts to social media was also added to the site’s functionality.
The Parliamentary Press Gallery was founded in 1803 and now represents more than 300 newspaper, agency, radio and TV journalists who work at Westminster. Since 2014 it has offered internships, in partnership with the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, to talented and committed young people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds interested in gaining work experience within the Parliamentary Press Gallery at the House of Commons.
This project required a redesign and refresh of the Parliamentary Press Gallery website. The hosting of the site was moved to our secure servers, with the new site built on WordPress, with a theme modified in house, and with the addition of historically relevant imagery to complement the design.
The War of the Words pop-up HG Wells exhibition is based just a few doors away from us on Sandgate High Street. We were pleased to support the project by putting together their simple but effective web presence to promote the products on sale, reason behind the exhibition and more. Featuring a fully responsive design, the site is easy to use for those searching for details on their phone while visiting the area!
20’s Plenty for Sandgate is the website for Sandgate Parish Council’s 20’s Plenty campaign. The aim of the campaign is to change the speed limit in residential streets to 20MPH.
The site incorporates various WordPress plugins to allow users to support the campaign, sign up to volunteer as part of the campaign, and also to receive newsletters about the progress of the campaign and other 20’s Plenty news.
Over the last year, Prater Raines have completely rebuilt the CIPR Conversation, a site built on WordPress and featuring content aggregated and commissioned from a wide range of Public Relations contributors, and curated by the CIPR themselves.
Since deployment we’ve further continued to work with the CIPR to continue to develop the Conversation, enhancing the design and adding many new interactive and multimedia components from video to podcasts to opinion polls – all wrapped in a responsive design that should look good on any device.
A small “contact card” site developed for renowned campaigner and Public Relations specialist Lynne Beaumont.
When the CIPR needed to transfer from their existing developers, Prater Raines worked with them to minimise the disruption of transfer of their web hosting and providers.
The CIPR have a number of different sites, all of which needed transferring to new hosting hardware, including the configuration of new virtual machines. By liaising carefully with the previous developers, managing the domain name transfer process, running our own DNS servers, and specifying, buying and installing new servers, the three public facing websites were publicly available throughout the transfer with no downtime, and editing and updating of the sites was restricted for just a few minutes.
With their sites transfered, we offer help-desk support to their team through an online ticketing system (as well as through phone support and meeting up on-site: we believe in “real person” support!).
Our support includes hosting support, domain management, dealing with any technical issues, dealing directly with third-party providers on the CIPR’s behalf and bugfixing for a straightforward annual support fee.
We are also working with the CIPR on enhancements and developments to their site, offering cost-effective web development.
