Vegan Web Designers

Liz and Andy have both been vegan for over ten years. Best known for running the Vegan Village website, they have worked with many of the movers and shakers in the vegan world as this brief bio outlines...

Leading the way
We helped many vegan companies take their first steps on the web in the late 90's, including Ethical Wares, Plamil, Redwood, Vegetarian Guides, the Vegan Organic Network, Dolma Perfumes and GreenEye.

Vegan campaigners
Over the years we have worked closely with many vegan campaigning organisations, including Animal Aid, Uncaged, Captive Animals Protection Society, Dr Hadwen's Trust, the X-CAPE coalition, League Against Cruel Sports, Europeans for Medical Advancement, and Doctors and Lawyers for Responsible Medicine. Not only have many of these benefited from our experience in web design and development (and our discounted rates for vegan-run organisations!), but also in our understanding of their target market. For more details read about our special projects.

Blast from the past!
Some classic names for vegan foodies that are no longer around, but will be fondly remembered, include Veg Veg, Salamander, V1 Vegetarian Fast Food, Taigh Na Mara and Taff. Not only did we enjoy working with them, but also eating their food! More recently we created the website for a newcomer to the vegan foodie scene, Owl Vegan Cafe.

Fun and games
Our Yorkshire vegans party at Wild Ginger in 1998 will be remembered as a real feelgood event by all who attended. As well as a vegan cheese and wine tasting (thanks to Vinceremos and to Redwood for agreeing to their first ever taste and try), we had a hemp fashion show and we were surrounded by more vegans than we'd ever met before. The same year we sponsored the first National Vegan Festival and won the Vegan Society's Best New Product/Service for the timelessly classic Vegan Village (a BBC Vegetarian Good Food's "must visit" site).

On a local level we have supported many local vegan events such as the South West VegFest, Vegan Essex events, Yorkshire Vegans, and Leeds Vegetarians and Vegans. Local coverage for events has included print (Yorkshire Evening Post) and radio (BBC Radio Leeds).

Vegan research
In 2000 we set up the Vegan Research Panel to find out about 21st century vegans from an online panel of over 2,000 people. We found out everything from what they wanted for Christmas to their views on genetically modified food.

In the world of vegan entertainment we were proud to be involved in the pilot website for Veggie Vision in 2005, which has become an outlet for some well know veggies including Jerome Flynn, Benjamin Zephaniah and Joanne Lumley. Other talented vegan clients have included Swamp Circus and Robb Johnson.

Recent awards
In 2006 Liz and Andy were nominated as Heroes of the Vegan Movement, topping Liz's previous media accolade (appearing in Vegan Views, issue 101 2004)! In 2007 the Vegan Village was voted Best Vegan Media/Publication in the Yaoh Vegan Environmental Awards.
