Websites I've made or contribute to
Several years ago I found the inner geek within me, and started making websites. Originally this was just for fun, and most of my first attempts aren't available on line. As I improved my skills (thanks in large part to several techie friends), I realised I could help other people who wanted a web presence.
In 2009 a friend and I decided it would be both fun and useful to offer activist-friendly web hosting to local groups in Oxford - and so ox4.org was born. We set ox4.org up with Drupal - a fairly complex content management system. So I decided I should learn how to use it - and help others to do so!
Here are some of the websites that I have either made or significantly contributed to over the last few years.
Oxford Rape Crisis Centre
Website for the Oxford Sexual Abuse & Rape Crisis Centre. I didn't make the site, but I maintain and extend it. |
Namaste
Website for a local asylum housing support group. |
Oxford Feminist Network
An upgrade of OFN's previous site, with several new features added. |
Oxford News
A very simple news aggregator that collects news from various local blogs and puts them all in one place. |
base.ox4.org
The default ox4.org Drupal page. |
ox4.org
When a friend and I set up a web hosting service we thought we should have a public face. A very basic site, with an old school anarcho punk feel. |
Oxford Indymedia Calendar
Building on the existing calendar, I added several new fields (such as images) and new views (e.g. a table view). Also added an iCal feed. |
Oxford Action Resource Centre
I didn't make the original OARC site, but did quite a revamp - mostly restyling it and writing new copy. |
Thames Valley Climate Action
Site for the local climate action group that I was involved in. I took the existing site and added new functions (e.g. events calendar) and more eye candy (e.g. images gallery). Sadly TVCA now seems defunct. |
