Portfolio

We work with nonprofits, businesses and government agencies. What our clients have in common is a commitment to using the Internet to accelerate their impact and reach. We walk with our clients at their pace through our process to define and accomplish their project goals.

YES! Magazine

Web Collective and ONE/Northwest partnered to build a new website for  YES! Magazine, an award-wining publication that supports people's active engagement in building a just and sustainable world. Web Collective spearheaded a five-person design and development team to take the project from concept to launch. Working very closely with YES! we helped clarify both their wants and publishing processes in  ways that helped us deliver a website that accomplishes just enough to  be successful while remaining within budget. The YES! editorial team  is now able to shift from a quarterly web publishing schedule to a  daily schedule to a great extent due to the power of Plone.

Climate Action Toolkit

The forward looking cities of Seattle, Minneapolis, Boston and Salt  Lake City with the help of ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability came together with the vision to create Climate  Action Campaign Toolkit, a social marketing kit for U.S. cities  to use to promote action around climate change topics. Web Collective  designed and built the supporting website that offers up the kit  materials along with help for using it.  Being built with Plone means  the website can be maintained by a large number of people. We are  proud to play a part in developing the social marketing materials  needed to raise conscious around climate change at a local level.

Environmental Resources Trust started in 1996 the first market-driven private attempt to reduce greennhouse gas emissions known as GHG Registry.

Winrock Intl., who runs the program, choose Web Collective to create a new graphic design and implement a significant upgrade to how the Registry's members access information on their accounts.

ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability

Website: http://www.icleiusa.org

Web design, Plone development and Salesforce integration

ICLEI came to Web Collective with the need for a new website that could scale to meet the demands of a rapidly growing membership base of local governments who are attempting to reduce their carbon footprint. They recently had chosen industry leader Salesforce for managing all their member information and wanted to seamlessly integrate that information with their public website. Our work with ONE/Northwest developing Plone/Salesforce connections came in handy and has enabled ICLEI to continue providing its members with high-quality service.

O'Brien & Company

Website: http://www.obrienandco.com

Web design, Plone development

 O'Brien had a new set of identity collateral and wanted a new website to match. They also wanted to upgrade to a content management system that allowed them to keep the site current with their latest green building and sustainability education projects.

Our designers came up with an elegant website look and feel that adhered to the new identity and our developers customized Plone to match specific business requirements. The result is a clean and easy to navigate website everyone is proud to show off.

Tigard-Tualatin School District

Website: http://www.ttsd.k12.or.us/

Web design and Plone development

Tigard-Tualatin School District came to Web Collective looking for help taking their existing Plone site to the next level. The 15 schools in their district each had it's own separate website. Navigating between schools and the district was inconsistent and confusing and maintaining these sites was time consuming. Our major challenge to build a site where distinct looking but navigationally consistent school sub-sites, each with it's own webmaster, coexisted within a single district website. We created a system that gave each school's webmaster control over the look of their school's sub-site, but that  adhered to a consistent overall design and navigation scheme. Additionally, we opened up the website so that every teacher in the district became a content contributor with control over their personal classroom section. Now, well over a dozen webmasters maintain the site for  thousands of students, parents, teachers and administrators now use it on a daily basis.

Cascadia Scorecard

Website: http://scorecard.sightline.org

The Cascadia Scorecard is the Pacific Northwest's sustainability report card. It tracks seven trends that are crucial to the region's future:  health, economy, population, energy, sprawl, wildlife and pollution. 

When Sightline Institute, a current client, needed to showcase their Cascadia Scorecard, they came to Web Collective for a little help. We created 2 templates with specific functionality that they could use to create their site.

Web Collective is available for both small and large projects. We meet your needs.

Eastside Audubon

Website: http://www.eastsideaudubon.org

The mission of Eastside Audubon is to protect, preserve and enhance natural ecosystems and our communities for the benefit of birds, other wildlife and people.They came to Web Collective because they needed a site upgrade to include their new brand, a larger membership section, and calendar. They also needed to be able to update their site easily and be able to delegate sections to volunteers who could easily be trained. The workflow that Plone can provide helped with review and editing of volunteer created content so that all postings could be reviewed before showing on the live site.

Boston Community Change

Website: http://www.bostoncommunitychange.org/

Website with custom directory application

Interra Project provides tools for citizen consumers to align their purchases with their values. Web Collective designed and built a web-based directory to help people in the city of Boston locate businesses participating in Interra's pilot program. Using an iterative process we worked with Interra to test different ideas until we arrived at a directory that is intuitive and fun to use. We are currently working with Interra to launch a similar directory local to us in Puget Sound.

Resource Venture

Website: http://www.resourceventure.org

Web design and database development

Cascadia Consulting, a Seattle environmental management consulting firm, hired us to design and build a new website for Seattle Public Utilities' Resource Venture project. They needed an attractive website that was easily maintained by many people and where a large amount of content could be quickly found. We gave them a design that spoke to local business owners looking for help conserving resources.

B-Sustainable

Website: http://www.b-sustainable.org

Collaborative platform for sustainability indicators

Many organizations in the Puget Sound collect and publish indicator data relating to the health of the region. B-Sustainable is a project by Sustainable Seattle to re-publish this data within a sustainability indicators framework to make the information meaningful, accessible, and actionable. Web Collective developed a website in Plone that implements the sustainability framework design and makes it simple for multiple organizations to manage a vast amount of indicator information.

Peace by Design

Website:

Web design, WordPress blog development, print and online marketing assistance

Joy Helmer wanted a blog to help her approach questions of peace and violence for an audience including military personnel, diplomats, government officials and other professionals dealing with issues of conflict.  Web Collective helped her refine how her blog would provide information to these audiences and support her efforts to create an online community in conversation about these topics. We created a highly customized, attractive website—and provided training so she could understand how to use and maintain it.      

We have worked with many more great organizations and businesses. For references, please contact us.
