Having written, designed and built the original Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) website in partnership with Scriptoria, we’ve been busy making it even better by creating a French version and a fast downloading ‘text-only’ version. And here at Bluesky Media we have to say that we’re very proud of the final product for an organisation that is mobilising hundreds of millions of dollars to help fight poverty in Africa.

The new text-only version of the CAADP website is great for use in remote areas where internet speeds are slow. This means that CAADP can communicate with policy makers and farmer and development organisations right across Africa. But, what we like most is the fact that we were able to do this without compromising on the great-looking design and user-friendly aspects of the site.

To see what we mean, go to www.nepad-caadp.net and click on the ‘text-only’ link at the top right-hand corner of the home page: you’ll find a simplified version that still looks good. The graphics aren’t there, but the integrity of the design remains. This is in stark contrast with many other text-only sites which can be boring to look at and difficult to use. And if you’re a French speaker, don’t forget to take a quick peek at the French language version.

The CAADP website is an important part of a communications package, developed with Scriptoria, that is helping to spread the programme’s vision for boosting agricultural productivity in Africa. Hopefully, this latest addition to the website will help CAADP hold fast to its reputation for ‘flagship’ communications among Africa’s rural development sector.

Having been Remploy’s agency of choice for many years, we were delighted to win the contract to produce their first Primary School Furniture Catalogue.

As a new venture for Remploy, this 136 page, full-colour brochure was quite a challenge, as it had to be produced from a blank canvas in just 3 short months. But we’ve always liked a challenge and are proud to say that it was completed and delivered on time and within budget.

Remploy Furniture has been the UK’s leading employer of disabled people for more than 60 years, committed to providing the highest quality, fit-for-purpose products whilst leading the way in planning and installing purpose-built learning environments across the UK. We are extremely proud to be associated with this flagship company, supplying the literature they need to help them promote their products and services to their customers more effectively.
