RIDC is a user-led research charity, run by – and for – people with a personal experience of disability. RIDC is a nearly 60 year old organisation, which spun-out from Which? in the early 1990's – we worked with them to update their brand and website, moving from a dusty and somewhat institutional look and feel to something much more modern and lifestyle driven.
You can visit the old RIDC site at the internet archive – and it's worth a click to get a sense of where we took the organisation from and too. Our feeling in working with RIDC was that they're an incredible organisational and we simply helped them to reimagine what they could be... and we think this is the type of project that Effusion does best.
RIDC brings together a number of different stands of work – from a market-leading panel of disabled people that policy-makers and companies can draw on, to a range of helpful research for those needing to select the right car, vacuum cleaner or can opener. We built an easy to use but powerful implementation of the Drupal CMS to power the site and comparison features.
