Age Concern launches LifeBook
Posted by Head 9th May 2008 in News Tags: , age concern, charity shops, documents, Head, lifebook, organize, vitalResearch by Age Concern discovered that 62% of Brits don’t organise their important affairs, with 97% of us misplacing vital documents around the home. LifeBook, based on an original concept by Age Concern, was designed and built by Head to help older people get to grips on their life affairs – by making it really easy to do. National PR broke this week, it’s great to see everyone talking about it, and there will be campaign activity promoting LifeBook through Age Concern’s national network of charity shops, workers, and direct mail, plus promotion via their main website www.ageconcern.org.uk/lifebook

The Fast Fifty is renowned throughout the legal sector as the benchmark survey of law firm website excellence. The survey subjects the websites of Britain’s 50 most successful law firms to rigorous scrutiny in four categories – Content, Design, Usability and Marketing.
The award, presented by Cherie Booth QC no less, was in recognition of Withers’ rise from 49th to 13th place in the Intendance’s 2008 Report rankings.
Our redesign was also shortlisted in the category of usability as a result of its clear and easy navigation. Hooray!
We are currently negotiating a deal to show off the award in our Percy Street offices every other weekend and during half term.
