Friskis&Svettis Brussels

Friskis&Svettis started in Sweden in 1978 and means “healthy & sweaty” in English. This non-profit-making fitness association offers an easy, fun and effective way to enjoy the many benefits of exercising, for a fraction of the cost of membership with a commercial gym. Working with TTTP I have moved the contents of their previous website to SPIP and matched the CMS with a new, fresher look that is 100% XHTML valid. Now volunteers at the F&S Brussels branch can update their website and the training schedule in real time… without breaking a sweat.

World Day for Decent Work 2009

One year later, the trade union movement is organising the second World Day for Decent Work. This year’s theme is the economic crisis and the fact that most of the world is experiencing big job losses at the same time. Based on last year’s layout (designed by Jean-Yves Leblon at Pixeleyes), I have worked with TTTP to give the website a fresh green face and add a new, streamlined form for campaigners worldwide to report their actions on 7 October.

European action against rare cancers

Nearly half a million Europeans live with a rare cancer. Despite the rarity of each individual cancer type, rare cancers represent in total about 20% of all cancer cases, including all cancers in children. The European Action Against Rare Cancers, a joint initiative by several leading organisations in the sector, launched an international petition that urges policy-makers and all other relevant stakeholders to give high priority to quality treatment and care for patients with rare cancers. Working with Tech To The People, I married the xhtml templates with SPIP, adding features such an AJAX-driven call to action that has collected more than 400 signatures so far.

Swiss Quantum

A little website for a big project taking place in Switzerland, which aims at the deployment of the world’s most advanced quantum communication network. The website presents the project, the technology used as well as the results of the extensive test campaign. Working for Tech To The People, I have matched the xhtml graphics with SPIP, giving project partners a chance to update the website in a simple manner.

Tobacco Free Europe

In the European Union alone, over 650.000 Europeans die every year because they smoke. This figure accounts for one in seven of all deaths across the continent. In total, over 13 million people are suffering from a serious chronic disease as a result of their smoking. The Smoke Free Partnership launched the “Tobacco Free Europe” campaign to ensure that the valuable progress in tobacco control made over the past decade continues and develops well in to the future. In partnership with TTTP, I have adapted the xhtml website template for SPIP.
