London Friend is the UK's oldest lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans charity, established 50 years ago in 1972.
As part of their 50th birthday celebration year we designed and built a website commemorating the heritage of the capital’s LGBT movement that reflects on London Friend’s past, present, and future.
The site includes an interactive timeline as well as a showcase of 50 inspiring LGBTQ+ Londoners who have made a difference to life in the capital.
The site is carefully optimised to ensure that even the complicated timeline loads quickly and is responsive and usabable on all devices including mobiles.
And of course we made sure to make the site accessible to all users; the timeline is navigable using a keyboard and there are transcipts of audio and newspaper clippings.
The site gets great marks in our automated testing and more importanly got a great reception from our friends at London Friend.
We’ve had some lovely feedback on the site and we’re absolutely delighted with it. Thanks once again for your support.
