The Bellagio Initiative
The Institute of Development Studies is a leading global charity of international development research, teaching and communications. We were appointed to design and build a website for The Bellagio initiative, a research initiative based at IDS and concerned with the future of development and philanthropy, involving experts from around the world and culminating in an international conference in 2012.
Using the open source Wordpress CMS we have configured a feature rich site, in two phases, all within a short lead time. Lively international interaction is taking place with nearly five thousand visitors and fifteen thousand page impressions within the first month.
"A big thanks from me on the work on the site. It looks fabulous and works just as we had hoped. Feedback has been great and the funders are really happy. I think we can all be proud of the result."
