The Educational Research Centre was established on the campus of St Patrick’s College, Dublin in January, 1966.  With support from the Department of Education and a number of international foundations, it quickly grew into an internationally recognised centre of excellence in research, assessment, and evaluation in education.

doop recently redesigned the ERC website, modernising, incorporating a cms and training ERC staff to allow them to manage completely their own website, a hugely important repository for research materials within the Education community.

Docklands Innovation encourages and promotes new business enterprise in Ireland. Their site had previously appeared under the Bolton Trust banner (and indeed was designed and built be doop) but they recently decided to focus on the Docklands Innovation brand and in this regard engaged us to help in both their logo rebrand and in building an entirely new web presence.

The new Dockland Innovation site is modern, minimalist, responsive and a new direction for them as they continue in their endeavours to promote new and exciting business in Ireland.

These Charming Men website

These Charming Men

The design for the These Charming Men website took its cue from the album cover artwork of The Smiths. We selected some of the most iconic sleeves and applied the colour palette to each section of the website, so as you navigate the site, the background image and link colours change. The site was built on the WordPress platform allowing the band to easily update the website and gig information their charming selves…

Social Radio

Leave a comment

“Equal access to social rich media is required for social radio to work. We live in one world, and it’s getting smaller.”

Brian Greene (partner at doop.ie) and blip.fm ambassador is a avid fan of social radio. Here he is interviewed by Pete Dulin for the blog BlipNation.

Dulin: What does this phrase, “people controlled radio,” mean to you?

BrianGreene: “People controlled radio” is radio that we the listeners control. Radio by the people, for the people. Radio has been in the hands of the governments and the regulators and the corporations and the advertising departments for 100 years. Now we have passed the point in needing anyone but ourselves to programme our radio needs. And I don’t just mean music; documentaries, news, comment, and chat, we can share it all on social radio platforms, and Blip.FM is the truest form of social radio that I have yet seen.

Bolton Trust Redesign and CMS

Leave a comment

The Bolton Trust are an organisation that promote new business enterprises in Ireland.  Having previously designed their website, doop recently freshened up the site’s design as well as implementing wordpress cms in the back-end to allow them to update their ‘news’ section themselves. This worked so well that they came back to us asking for the entire site to be updateable using the same wordpress install. This involved rebuilding the code within wordpress whilst maintaining the original handcoded design.
