Solid State Group powers website for Amnesty International Report 2007

Posted on 31 May 2007.

Amnesty International Report 2007 is content managed by WebDeck CMS

Solid State Group, one of the leading content management system providers, yesterday launched the website for the Amnesty International Report 2007. The report consisted of more than 300 pages of text, which were produced in five languages - English, Spanish, French, Russian and Arabic. For the first time, the report introduced web 2.0 methodologies, through social-networking elements like ‘Add your voice’ and a blog, in order to make the site more usable and accessible to readers.

“Solid State Group delivered a fresh, modern microsite for Amnesty International and one that reflects our stance as a progressive campaigning force,” said Kieran Wyatt, project manager for the Amnesty International Report 2007 website. “Solid State Group worked closely with us every step of the way during the design, build, test and launch stages, putting in many extra hours of work to ensure the site was delivered on time to our specifications. It was a complex launch – the five languages notwithstanding – and a project that had to be steered through a complicated approvals process. SSG proved more than capable for the task and we’re extremely pleased with the end result.”

AIR 2007 was launched at a press conference in London on 23rd May 2007 and presented to the world’s media by the organisation’s Secretary General, Irene Khan. The Amnesty International Report is the organisation’s highest profile publication of the year, generating global interest in Amnesty International, its work and aims. The annual AIR showcases the important work the movement does in promoting internationally recognised human rights for all and represents the varied and global nature of Amnesty’s reach.

Propertyinvestment.co.uk release

Posted on 12 February 2007.

Solid State Group launch Propertyinvestment.co.uk site

This February, Solid State Group have completed the web build for Propertyinvestment.co.uk, a new company which aims to provide individuals with much of the help advice and support they need to become successful investors in property, especially overseas.

Solid State Group were introduced to the project at the inception and have been involved throughout its entirety. Initially, the project focused on usability testing with target user groups to establish the most intuitive site layout and navigation. The creative design was then laid on top of these findings. Interactive features were added to help users navigate to their property of choice, via a flash interactive map, and further explore the properties’ full particulars.

About Propertyinvestment.co.uk

Propertyinvestment.co.uk has been set up with the specific aim of helping potential buyers make an informed choice and not get caught out by some of the common mistakes buyers make. To help buyers, the company offers:

Guide to Property Investment: The guide is aimed at individuals who have perhaps been attracted by the idea of overseas property investment but who have yet to take the plunge. It does not purport to, nor can it, provide all the answers but it should provide enough information to take the next step and help address commonly made mistakes.
Website: One of the most comprehensive and user-friendly sites available. It also answers meaningfully, many of the questions that a potential investor might have including, mortgage calculators, prices in local currency and £s sterling, price per sq ft and sq m, video tours of developments, search by ski, beach or golf resorts, and knowledge centre.
