Siftware helps launch new Directgov innovation blog

February 2, 2009 by bealers

On Saturday the 31st of January a new Directgov innovation blog was launched at the UK Government Barcamp in London. The Directgov | innovate developer network has been provided to “inform the greater developer community about available resources, to provide a platform to connect with one another, and to showcase new ideas with the aim of supporting and encouraging innovation.”

At Siftware we are particularly interested in the new service as we were closely involved with its rollout by taking the supplied designs applying them to the leading open source blog Wordpress as a Wordpress Theme.

Sharon Cooper the Director of Strategy and Proposition at Directgov said of our involvement: “Siftware were extremely responsive to our needs. They did a good job and within a tight time window.”

Directgov is the government’s flagship digital service, welcoming more than 11 million visitors every month.

Darren (a.k.a. Bealers by his friends) has been a professional web developer for longer than he'd care to admit and currently runs Siftware. It's not all geekdom, though. When not in front of a computer he enjoys woodworking, the odd bit of windsurfing and spending as much time as possible with his wife and 3 kids. He also tweets as @bealers and hates writing in the third person.
