Client: The Feminist Miscarriage Project
Brief:The Feminist Miscarriage Project is a new collaboration led by two feminist academics, Victoria Browne and Susie Kilshaw, who wanted to create an opportunity for academic networking and public engagement around their area of specialism: miscarriage. A critical component of this endeavour would be a new website that could act as an essential online hub for the entire project, connecting academics with activists, advocates, clinicians, artists and writers.
Solution: The main goal was to convey simply and concisely the aims, ethos and scope of the project and to quickly get across the message that anyone interested in this subject - whether from academia or any other discipline - could become an active part of the project and consider the website an online HQ for it. We needed to introduce the key players, include an exhaustive list of publications on the subject and let people know about upcoming conferences and events. We also needed to collate and publish some of Victoria and Susie’s written articles on miscarriage and leave scope for guest contributors, whilst keeping it all easily updateable once I handed over the reins. We also solved the question of ‘what do we show in terms of visuals?’ by featuring strongly a series of abstact artworks which Victoria had come across that she thought was resonant to the subject. So I used the images as header banners and over the entire homepage, animating them in a way that seemed appropriate to their design.

Client feedback:
"We are so delighted with the beautiful website that Ben built for us. As an academic, I had a strong sense of the messages I wanted to convey, and Ben had the technical and design skills to realise that vision perfectly. It was really enjoyable working with Ben and he explained very clearly how to maintain and continue building our site. We have received so many compliments on it and I would definitely recommend Ben to others".
