The British Safety Council is one of the world’s fore­most health and safety organ­isa­tions, spe­cial­ising in edu­ca­tion and train­ing H&S on both a char­it­able and com­mer­cial basis. They are one of the first organ­isa­tions in their industry to embrace the online com­munity and sell a wide range of train­ing courses and learn­ing mater­i­als via their web­site with a com­pre­hens­ive online shop and can­did­ate learn­ing area.

During my time work­ing for the British Safety Council, the web­site has grown in size and scope from what was ini­tially an online repos­it­ory of bro­chures and con­tact details to into a soph­ist­ic­ated and styl­ish look­ing site that reflects the look and ethos of the organ­isa­tion entirely. I was the designer in a lar­ger team of developers who’s role from the very begin­ning was to unify the many dif­fer­ent roles of the organ­isa­tion into one com­plete brand, as well as ensur­ing the site was clean and mod­ern look­ing to reflect its increas­ingly vital role.

With a com­bin­a­tion of hand-coded CSS, XHTML and javas­cript with a large amount of data­base driven con­tent, this was a chal­len­ging and highly sat­is­fy­ing pro­ject to work on!
