A while back Mimtech were engaged by Applied Works ( http://appliedworks.co.uk/) to provide RedDot and Flash skills for a series of changes to the Save the Children's site for the Kroo Bay project ( www.savethechildren.org.uk/kroobay). The site had been designed by STC and Rufus Leonard (www.rufusleonard.com/) and a first version built. The second round of development fell to Applied Works, who are a design agency, and they brought Mimtech in to do RedDot and Flash work (we got some Flash experts from North Colour (www.northcolour.com)).
The site has won the RedDot international award for best customer project at the RedDot Days event in Frankfurt. The following is a quote from the RedDot site...
'Open Text Web Solutions Group presented Save the Children with its international award for best customer project during RedDot Days in Frankfurt 28th-29th October. The award has been given for Save The Children's Kroo Bay website, www.savethechildren.org.uk/kroobay, which uses the Web Content Manager and Asset Manager modules from the Open Text Web Solution powered by RedDot. The site was launched to give UK families an in-depth, interactive experience by enabling them to connect directly with a slum community in Sierra Leone, to engage people with Save the Children's wider campaign, and to raise £100,000 to help transform the slum'
Well done to the many parties involved in the site but particularly to Save The Children for making it happen and their patience with all of us 'consultants' during the development.
