The Community food and health (Scotland) was developed in conjunction with The Graphics Company. The aim was to develop a website which would be easy to use and give fast access to the Community Food and Health PDF library, database of Community Food Initiatives and Events.

All design work was carried out by the Graphics Company. All of the back-end development and coding of the template and content was done by Jim Byrne & Associates. QnECMS, the accessible content management system was used as the technical platform for the development.
