Atticmedia has been working with the DfES/DCSF for over 5 years and in that time we have worked successfully together on numerous sites, campaigns and resources, at times working simultaneously on 3 or more projects. Rarely does a month go by when we’re not doing something for the department.
Projects we have worked on recently include…
Revised website homepage for www.dcsf.gov.uk
We were asked to bridge the gap between their previous homepage design and their new CMS system www.dcsf.gov.uk and came up with a simple and modern-looking homepage for their department site through a collaborative process of wireframing, information architecture and design work.
Time To Talk Campaign Site
A website to complement the print campaign for this recent wide ranging DCSF children, young people and parents consultation project. The site provides a space to allow online users to contribute to the campaign. Pleasingly, the site has so far gained a great deal of user responses, considerably more even than the print campaign.

Money to Learn Campaign for DCSF on direct.gov.uk
Atticmedia was commissioned by the DCSF to create the Money to Learn campaign on the direct gov site. The campaign promoted the EMA scheme and other similar schemes that give financial support to young people staying on in further education and supported a print and billboard campaign. We were also proud to be the first agency to be allowed to use Flash on the direct gov site, which we used to show video interview clips of learners who had benefited from the schemes.

Byron Review Campaign Site and Elements
The Byron Review is a review into children and new technology and is looking at the risks to children from exposure to potentially harmful or inappropriate material on the internet and in video games. Atticmedia was asked to design and build the young people’s consultations site. We also suggested the DCSF used branded pages set up on MySpace and Bebo and run by the Byron Review team - so we were also asked to design and implement these too.

Redesign and build the Jobs4U website
A joint project between the DCFS and Connexions, our brief was to present a clearer design and a better set of functionality to this heavily used and vast careers site. Atticmedia designed a more visually detailed and engaging site that condenses the multiple complex search processes into a single, more focused, ‘simple/advanced’ search. The site also improves on navigational functionality and allows a way of navigating to a job article from the job family article
