Conservative History Group
, London, UK (no longer live)
The Conservative History Group asked us to create a simple site to accompany their launch and update it over the next few months. We hope to replace it shortly with a content managed system, that allows the committee to add new text and photos at will.
www.conservativehome.com.
Conservative Home
, London, UK (no longer live)
This exciting new site (which took almost a year to develop) provides news, briefing and the opportunity for discussion for conservatives in Britain and around the world. Each page is fully content managed by the editors and includes - as is now standard on our sites - a fully accessible version.

Iain Murray
, Washington DC (no longer live)
Iain is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in DC. We provided Iain with a template for this site, which he edits himself using Macromedia Contribute so he has full control over the layout. We also host a weblog for Iain.
www.liberalhistory.org.uk.
Liberal Democrat History Group
, London, UK (no longer live)
The Group's site contains a a great deal of information about the Liberal Democrat Party and its predecessors. All of the material, which is added by the committee using an online editor, is stored in a database - allowing it to be organised conveniently for visitors. The site's layout was specifically designed to meet Bobby accessibility requirements.
www.margaretthatcher.com.
margaretthatcher.com
, London, UK (no longer live)
Run by volunteers, margaretthatcher.com rapidly established itself as the primary archive for documents relating to the former prime minister. It was closed down, with the domain and much material transferred to the Margaret Thatcher Foundation, when an official site was launched.

Mont Pelerin Society
, London, UK (no longer live)
The Society visited London for its 2002 conference. We built a website that gave delegates full details about their itinerary, together with more general information about the city. Secure registration was also possible through the site.
www.policyexchange.org.uk.
Policy Exchange
, London, UK (no longer live)
Set up in April 2002, Policy Exchange soon established its credentials as a radical think tank. The site is kept up to date by their staff, who have full control over the text and images that appear on each page. The design is deliberately clear and uncluttered.
www.renewingonenation.com.
Renewing One Nation
, London, UK (no longer live)
A distinctive policy unit within the Conservative Party that focuses on poverty and vulnerability, Renewing One Nation is best known for its work on 'compassionate conservatism'. Its content managed website provides details of its forthcoming events and publications, as well as more general information about its work and principles.
www.stats.org.
Statistical Assessment Service
, Washington DC (no longer live)
Stats audits the use of facts and figures by the media. The site we built is fully managed by their staff, many of whom run their own weblogs. Our software also takes any material added by Stats to create a version of the website suitable for personal organisers.

Institute for Economic Affairs
, London, UK (client adding content)
We were delighted to build a new website for the IEA - the third site we have built for the Institute in the past five years. The new site has expanded areas for staff, students and faculty - as well as a brand new look and feel.

International Longevity Centre UK
, London, UK (client adding content)
The ILC is a think tank which examines the policy implications of longevity, ageing and population change. Their new website is fully content managed; includes printer friendly and text only versions; a number of RSS feeds; and an integrated blog.
www.anglosphereinstitute.org.
Anglosphere
, Washington DC (live site)
Backed by a number of well known political figures, Anglosphere campaigns for closer links between the English speaking nations. The forward looking, contemporary nature of its work needed to be reflected in the site's look and feel. It is backed by a powerful editor, that allows staff from around the world to edit the text and photos on the site.
www.cmpa.com.
Center for Media and Public Affairs
, Washington DC (live site)
CMPA studies the role of the media in the political process in the US. They asked us to build a system that gave staff full control over the layout of each page, as well as its content. We also provided the Center with a series of attractive templates.
www.iea.org.uk (previous).
Institute for Economic Affairs
, London, UK (live site)
The IEA is one of the most respected free market think tanks in the UK. We developed a site that allowed staff to add a huge archive of pamphlets and other material - and then keep the site up to date, directly from their desks. We also included a secure online shop, with credit card payment facilities.
