Uganda Development Services website
UDS are exactly the kind of NGO we set up to work with. Operating in rural Uganda to relieve poverty, they've been making a tangible difference in people's lives for 16 years. Their previous website had been servicing them well for half a decade, but was starting to suffer on both the content and the functional sides; it was time for a change.
Using our own Blanc Tools CMS, built in partnership with Hawkz, we've developed UDS a great looking, flexible and powerful website that'll keep their online presence fresh, current and relevant for many years to come. Blogging, podcasting, page-editing, file managment... it's all there!
One Voice website
For many years now, Tearfund have run an annual event calling people to focus on, and pray for the plight of people all over the world suffering at the hand of poverty. Global Poverty Prayer Week, they called it. 2011 will be different; they're still hosting GPPW as a focal-point for the year, but this year they are trialling a year-long experiment in digital prayer, and we've had the privilege of helping them develop it. Our brief was 'twitter for prayer', and this is what we came up with...
Endorsement: Hawkz
“Through working with Paul Evans and RG&B we’ve found an exceptional creative and project management resource. Through all of the projects we’ve collaborated on over the years, we’ve been consistently impressed with how every project fully meets each clients’ requirements. Through not only visually stunning creative design, but also a rare depth of client understanding and management, we’re fully confident in the successful conception, implementation and delivery of every project. We relish each opportunity to work with RG&B as the results always amaze.
“After working with several design firms in the past, none have managed both the reliability and straight-talking transparency we get with Paul. We’re yet to see one of his clients get stressed! As both a supplier and a client of RG&B, we know we can rely on solid delivery and a seamless management experience. We find RG&B to be our leading asset in client satisfaction and creativity, and look forward to many years of successful collaboration in the future.”
Stephen Hawkes, Development Director, Hawkz

Tear.nl Carbon Calculator
Back in April ‘08 we worked with Tearfund UK to develop a carbon footprint calculator. In the last week, we've been involved with pushing live a similar interactive for Tear (aka Tearfund) in the Netherlands. Working in Dutch has been fun; though a cursory glance at our collective browser histories will reveal a large volume of traffic to and from Google's translator page! If you can read Dutch, go take a look; if not, wander across to Tearfund UK's original calculator, and get mitigating!
Tearfund “Living Gifts” alternative gift catalogue
We love Tearfund. We do, we really do. And the more we work with them, the more we wish there were more people out there like them! Our latest project was an update to LivingGifts.org.uk, their alternative gift catalogue.
St. Andrew’s kids & youth-work branding
The second stage of the St.Andrew’s Chorleywood brand project, was to give their kids and youth work departments a makeover...
Tearfund “Lob a Loo Roll” game
Through our relationship with Tearfund, we're frequently asked to develop online components to off-line campaigns. This is another of those projects. If you'd gone along to a charity conference, or some other event where Tearfund were exhibiting this campaign, you'd have seen the odd spectacle of passers by being challenged to see whether they could "lob a loo roll" into a toilet bowl some meters away...
St. Andrew’s branding & website
St. Andrew’s Chorleywood is what the Anglicans Church refers to as an “uber-church”, and with their scale comes a myriad of problems around communication. Many departments, talking independently to many people groups, through many media streams and multiple touch points, produced my many individuals. It all adds up to a potential tsunami of confusion...
Tearfund Carbon Calculator
As part of their continuing drive to champion the impact of man-made climate change on the developing world, we've been working with Tearfund to develop a carbon foot print calculator. Feed it key bits of information about your lifestyle, and it'll calculate an annual amount of money to donate, which will be spent in the developing world to mitigate your personal impact on climate change. As always, it's been a great job to work on, partially because of the interactive side of things, and partially because the calculations that sit under the hood have been an exciting challenge to develop.
Go take a look, and start taking steps to mitigate you personal impact on this planet's resources!
