Projects

Paola used the crowdfunding site, Kickstarter, to raise funds to edit and print her book of short stories. Along the way, she learnt Audacity to record and edit voice, iMovie to make the campaign video, Sigil to create e-books and InDesign to create the cover and text files for printing.

As an information architect, Paola created a UX strategy to reduce unneccessary variation in the hotels.com user interface. She audited the web site to identify, categorise, reduce, name and document the user interface in order to improve the user experience and to speed up future design and development. more

In 2006 and 2007 we submitted ideas to the BBC Innovations Labs that were short-listed and eventually commissioned.

Frank developed RSScatcher, software to archive the BBC's RSS feeds in an XML database, and TweetStore, a publicly-available archive of the BBC's hundreds of Twitter feeds. more

OED Online prototype In March 1997, Oxford University Press (OUP) asked us to construct a "publisher's dummy", a web site to prototype possible features and functionality of an online version of the Oxford English Dictionary. The resulting scripted prototype was then taken by OUP to a series of focus group workshops at libraries across the US for market testing. more

Oxford English Dictionary marketing web site We developed the OED web site prior to the launch of OED Online. The site was to provide general information about the dictionary and promote the online version. more

Oxford English Dictionary web site redesign In early 2003, Oxford University Press asked us to help reorganise, redesign and redevelop the public area of oed.com, the web site for the Oxford English Dictionary. more

Redesign of OED Online Following the success of our 2003 redesign of the public pages at the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) web site, Oxford University Press (OUP) hired us to apply the design to in 2005. more

In addition, we created the web pages to accompany the Balderdash & Piffle series in 2006 and 2007.

In early 2006, we built an online racing magazine web site for Harbury Media Ltd. We used the Drupal content management system so that we could meet a tight deadline coinciding with a major racing event.

In 2009, we built the Stallion Statistics Database. It is based on race results, sales results and stallion nomination fee data from many sources. The data is imported, validated, standardised and inter-connected so that we can show a stallion's performance over time. more

Limitless's first project was to build the first online store for Sainsbury's, a major British retailer, and to do it from scratch in a matter of days. more

In 1995, Limitless got together with a marketing company and its design arm - Denison Design - to design and build BarclayNet - for Barclays Bank personal and business customers. more

Paola found an innovative way to generate coloured charts in Omnis at a time when no tools existed for creating graphical reports with Omnis. She also designed and built an ad-hoc reporting system using the Marketing Planning System using Omnis and Sybase. more
