Client Launch: Pants to Poverty
Pants to Poverty produces fair trade, organic and sweatshop-free pants that carry a message: man-made poverty is a scandal and together we can wipe it out. With recommendations from the Hub, Pants to Poverty asked Rolled to take the design produced by Ian Kerrigan and do what we do best: build solid, usable websites.
The Pants to Poverty Story is an interesting read, but in brief (from their Bad Pants Amnesty press release):
Established in 2005 by the youth group from Make Poverty History, this dynamic and exciting is a new type of campaigning social enterprise that makes luxurious yet inexpensive fairtrade, organic and sweatshop free underwear. Working directly with farmers and factory workers and only selling through ethical outlets (so no supermarkets etc!!!) Pants to Poverty is working with over 20 universities for FT fortnight and 40 shops and is now rolling out an exciting series of events, new products (including condom pocket pants!) and transformational campaigns and programmes throughout 2008 and beyond. Look out for lots more to come!
While they had quite a nice site before, Pants to Poverty wanted a change. Here’s how it looked before:
Ian put together a simplistic and interesting design, which we developed on Wordpress for rapid production of a fully functional, easy-to-use web site. Working to a difficult deadline, Pants to Poverty’s new site went live on time with no nonsense.
Another triumphant launch! Pants to Poverty had this to say about working with us:
When it came to relaunching our website, Rolled came with high recommendations from fellow social innovators at the Hub.
With wireframes and design in hand, Rolled went beyond web development on the project: they provided extremely valuable advice based on their experience and expertise on navigability, accessibility and marketing, showed great levels of speed and adaptability (to the point of hitting deadlines when they were pushed forward!), while keeping a no-nonsense and transparent approach.
With a very tight budget they were able not only to deliver a great website, but also offer what is too easily forgotten: after care!
We would have no hesitation in recommending Rolled to anyone looking for a first class solution to their web based project.
Rolled supports the excellent work that Pants to Poverty is doing, it’s been a pleasure working with them. See how you can help on their new site or even buy a pair of those sexy pants.

Client launch: Eudemonic
Eudemonic sought out to refresh their web presence, asking Rolled to step in and make this happen. Collaborating with Richard Ardagh of Elephant’s Graveyard, we worked together to get their new look up and running as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Eudemonic had this to say about who they are and what they do:
Eudemonic is an agency for creative change, learning and communications. We work across organisational development, social & cultural projects, education and events. Our stand of artistic projects are about adding a bit of playful sparkle to everyday life. We are delighted that in less than a very short time we’re making an amazing difference to how organisations, communities and individuals grow.
However, their old site just didn’t do them justice:
Therefore, Richard put together a dark design using illustrations, solid heading fonts and colour coded sections. Rolled took his design and integrated it into Wordpress to provide a usable back-end, so that the Eudemonic team could easily update the site. As soon as everyone was happy, Eudemonic’s new web design was given the Rolled seal of approval and went live:
A successful launch without problems or delay provoked Andres Roberts, founder and MD of Eudemonic, to shout out the following comment:
We are delighted with the speed, professionalism and support offered by the folks at Rolled. I’ve already asked them to help on a second project and our new site is barely up.
We are happy we helped in taking Eudemonic’s work further. We look forward to working with Andres, Lizzie Ostrom and the rest of the Eudemonic team in future projects.
