Gooii Websites In Development

With so many interesting projects in development, we thought we’d update you with some of the sites due to go live in the coming months.

First up we have the excellent ‘History’s Heroes?’ for E2BN. You won’t find Batman or Spider-Man on this site but the real life heroes who made their mark on history. One of the greatest and more recent heroes is Alan Turing - considered to be the father of modern computing, Turing helped win World War II and is the inspiration for the famous Apple logo. Also for E2BN we have the brilliant ‘Speech Creator’, a tool that allows students to record and play back their speeches and includes an online teleprompter to help them deliver their presentations.

One of our most popular tools is the innovative Story Creator, an online application that allows children to create their own animated stories. Having been nominated for 2 BETT Awards, Story Creator 3 will offer loads of exciting new content and features.

Elsewhere we’re developing a website for the University Museums in Scotland. UMIS are a new client and we’ll be using the powerful Culture Grid system to search and return results from their diverse and rich collections.

We're also building the Student Zone, a new resource section for the Historical Association, and the Readiness ToolKit for Red E Toolkit, which includes some very useful software to help organisations measure their current performance against customisable criteria.

It’s a busy and exciting time here at Gooii and as always we’ll keep you updated with our new sites and projects as they launch.

Airvend UK Ltd Website

As Airvend UK's business grew, so did the needs of their website. We gave the site a complete overhaul, streamlining the content into a scrolling website and providing the user with key information quickly and efficiently. The site utilises a distinctive, yet corporate, design that increases both the value of the brand and conveys Airvend's global market.

Culture Grid Website and Search Interface

The Culture Grid is a new and unique online service from Collections Trust, the UK's independent organisation for collections. The site enables users to find out about, engage with, and visit the wonders within the UK's collections, improving their visibility, impact and value.

Gooii designed and built the website and search interface for this exciting new service. Based upon a powerful search engine created by Knowledge Integration, the interface was designed to be familiar and easy to use. Grid and list views allow the user to browse the results visually, or with more focus on textual information. Under the hood is an application programmed in Java using Google Web Toolkit to produce a fast, friendly and interactive search experience.
