Our new site for Social Care green paper

7 April 2009 2 , , ,
Puffbox's latest project in the health sector is Care Support Independence, a WordPress-based website in support of the forthcoming green paper on funding and delivering social care. Sadly though, I can't present it as another victory for WordPress, as it's a rebuild of a site that already ran on WP. The original CareAndSupport website was launched [...] read on »

With the review entering its final stages, we've taken the opportunity to give the site a lick of paint, and reworked the homepage. Reflecting the local focus of the review, the [...] read on »

Health minister now blogging, courtesy of Puffbox

Today sees the launch of version 2 of the website I designed and built for Lord Darzi's national review of the NHS. V1 was built in double-quick time during the summer, and for reasons of cost and speed, used the Typepad blogging platform. Over the last month or so, Typepad's limitations have become more and [...] read on »
