Various OED-related projects @ OUP

Paola Kathuria & Frank Wales

Limitless & Limitless Innovations

1997-2008

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

OED Online Tour We designed and built the web-based tour of OED Online. more

Redesign of OED Online Help During the beta review of OED Online in 2000, we implemented user-interface changes to the Help pages. more

General & technical consultancy We worked with OUP as general and technical advisers for the OED Online project; we provided both long-term advice and support to the development team, and helped OUP with a variety of design and deployment tasks during the design phase of the project. 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
