The project was designed by me, but developed and coordinated by Olive Digital Consultancy, based in Coventry, UK.

That allowed us to define the structure of the website, validate it with the stakeholders and start the parallel development work after Sprint 1. That approached helped us have a live website just after 3 months of work.
