Make Hay Ethical E-Media

Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Parent Partnership Service supports parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities.

The previous PPS Notts site was out of date and using old technology. They needed a new site which they could update frequently to ensure they could share news of their activities and events, volunteering opportunities and projects. They also needed much more control over their content to reflect the their dynamic and growing service and provide resources for parents looking for support. At the same time the site needed to be clear, easy to use and clean in design whilst incorporating a large amount of information. RSS feeds are included so that visitors can keep up to date with all the latest at PPS.

The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Parent Partnership Service website is also now hosted on our wind powered Green Hosting service.

One of our recent web design projects, finished ready to bring in the New Year, was Elio Studio from the lovely Leonora Oppenheim.

Elio Studio is a sustainable design and consultancy practice, providing services in bespoke design, consultancy and writing. They specialise in communicating environmental issues and bringing it into the mainstream via a multi-disciplinary approach, including research, concept development, text, image & sculptural installation.

The Elio Studio website tells us all about the practice and latest news but look out for further developments soon. Visit them at www.eliostudio.com

Talking to a client the other day about the joys of blogging, I realised that I’d broken one of my own number 1 rules - neglecting our blog.

Our client was interested in how a blog could enhance his online presence and as I went to show him how we use our blog to provide useful resources to our clients I felt a pang of shame…. I haven’t posted for weeks!

Well, I’m pleased to say that the cause of this lack of posting is because we are very busy. We’re also going through a period of change at Make Hay, evolving our services, approach and look with a re-launch in the New Year.

It seems that there is a general feeling of shift right now, with the very distinctive change in season, a new president in the White House and a new feeling of hope, so now is a good time for us to bring about positive change here too.

To make up for the lack of posts over the past few weeks I’m going to make a point of finding useful things to tell you about for the rest of this week. So please look out for those.

In the meantime, here is a great movie about positive change which I think is very pertinent right now, it’s called The Shift:

I read a really relevant and valid post today on Seth Godin’s blog which relates perfectly to business and other areas of our lives.

Everybody is in the same boat. We all have so much to do and our time is precious. Respect someone by not wasting their time…
