Touchnote

Touchnote engaged Acumen to produce the online card creator at the centre of their new product, aimed at users who want to have more control over physical greetings cards sent from the web.

The card creator that Acumen built allows the uploading of images from a user’s computer, subsequent resizing and positioning options, followed by styled captioning and symbols both on the front and inside of the card.

Today the Touchnote product was released, and we wish them all the best for the coming months!

Insight on Conflict

Leo Brown — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:14:52 +0000

Acumen worked with Peace Direct to create the Insight on Conflict website, a grassroots peacebuilding and conflict reporting organisation based in London, released on the 11^th of August.

The website is based on the WordPress CMS, and has been customised to give full control to Peace Direct over the associations of Themes, Conflict Areas, Organisations and their Initiatives, along with automatic map generation and RSS aggregation.

I’m sure Lucy has told you how delighted we all are with the Insight on Conflict website, but I just want to add my own congratulations. It looks a treat, and particularly with the maps and additional search capabilities, offers a much more appealing product.

Thanks so much for putting in so much time and care to get it just right. Truly a labour of love!

~ Carolyn Hayman CBE, Chief Executive, Peace Direct
