We’ve just completed work on this website for the Venkatraman Memorial Trust – a small charity supporting the education of children in the fishing village of Kovalam near Chennai in the south of India. It looks like we did OK, if client Lindsay Swan’s comments are anything to go by:
‘We are delighted with our new website. We wanted a design that captured the vibrant colours and spirit of Kovalam and provided an attractive background for our growing photo library. The new site does this beautifully and it is also completely painless to maintain.
Thank you Wingfinger for a fantastic job.’
This site is a good example of our new CMS Web Package Deal – a basic content-managed website with prices starting from just £518 +VAT (including our current 10% introductory discount). If you’d like us to put one together for you, give us a call on 0113 2450469.

We continue to do a lot of design for charity and non-profit organisations, and a new addition to our portfolio of reports and policy papers is the Jubilee Debt Campaign’s annual review. We’ve incorporated a couple of details from this report into the Literature section of our gallery. Another recent addition to the site is a new case study on our approach to designing this sort of document. We’ve looked at some of the issues relating to this sort of design project, and the approaches we have developed at Wingfinger to turn a text-heavy or jargon-filled paper into a sharp, readable piece of literature.
And if your’re interested in our charity and non-profit design services: just a reminder that we still have our special offer of 10% off a first job for new clients running over the summer.

It’s been a busy few weeks on the Wingfinger website, with a few additions, changes and updates…
- Gallery pages are now updated with work from the last few months.
- Two new archives have appeared in the Playpen – a collection of team birthday card pictures, and some illustrations sets used for our own marketing campaigns.
- We now have a section of the Playpen celebrating Wingfinger work that didn’t quite make it.
- And finally, we were surprised to find a completely unsolicited shout-out to our site in the Guardian last month as part of an article on creative industry in Leeds. Thank you, Guardian.
Our Playpen mini-site continues to grow as a place for fun things, archives and Wingfinger mad experiments. If we remember to do it, we will post here when new material goes up (we made finding your way in from the main site a bit more of a challenge).
As fun as it is to work on our own website, we do much prefer working on other people’s – and we are currently looking for new website design clients. In fact, we’re launching a special offer, more on this soon…

Wingfinger have just signed up to 10:10, a campaign to reduce carbon emissions across the UK by 10% this year.
Britain has committed to an 80% cut in emissions by 2050, but we have to start taking action now if that is going to be anything more than a pipe dream. In the Wingfinger office we’ve already tried to make energy cuts over the last few years, and aiming to get another 10% down is going to be a challenge – but it’s certainly one we think is important enough to take up! First point of interest: heating.
We really recommend taking the plunge and making a commitment to get in on the action. And we aren’t just saying this because we want to look cool and down with the green types – we’ve seen through the work that some of our clients are involved in the effects that climate change is already having on the lives of some of the poorest people in the world. Taking action on climate change is taking action on injustice.
Make a pledge and find more resources on the 10:10 website. There is also a section of the Guardian Online dedicated to the campaign, with articles, explanations and resources.
