Web Site Design Portfolio - European Law Monitor

European Law Monitor is a not-for-profit online service providing information on EU legislation, policies and procedures. In addition to generalised free information services, European Law Monitor undertakes fee based legal research and consultancy.

European Law Monitor is also the Europe Direct Relay for Hampshire, and in this role run local conferneces and seminars which require the creation of additional micro-sites and event sites.

We were involved with European Law Monitor from its inception - we helped develop the initial business and funding plans, prepared the original site specification, and project managed the build of the first site (built by JK Internet in Newbury). The service was origianally envisaged with a commercial subscription and research funding model, but new opportunities for grant and government funding provided by the new Community Interest class of company (CIC) changed that.

ELM was converted to a CIC part funded as a Europe Direct by the European Commission. The information services subsequently became free access, and a new site with a different specification was required. This was developed by us. The site includes several major add-ons, such as a forum, events calendar, RSS feeds, and advertising management.

We provide a full range of support services for the site: technical support, SEO, paid search management, and content management.
