Scoilnet Maps — Web Mapping for Irish Schools
Project Overview
Scoilnet Maps is an enterprising online mapping resource for Irish schools. Our vibrant website design presents a user-friendly portal for teachers and students in Ireland.
This progressive project was developed with the assistance of of the Forward Planning Unit in the Department of Education and Skills, and also the Department of Environment and Local Government.

The Project Brief
Scoilnet Maps initial project brief requested a modern and friendly interface for their maps and related online materials. On first visit to the site the user is welcomed with a charming illustration of the Irish landscape accompanied with animated clouds and turbines.
In our initial consultations the theme of ‘Exploration’ also emerged as very important for Scoilnet. Maps by their very nature encourage exploration on both intellectual and physical levels. Our welcoming website design encourages users to explore OSI maps, world maps and unique cartographic materials such as Atlantic seabed mapping and 19th century historic maps.

Scoilnet Maps was in a great need of a makeover long before we approached Little Blue Studio. The old site was still mostly functional but very dated. LBS engaged very closely with us to understand our users and their needs – we always wanted something that was visual, modern and potentially appealing to teachers and students. I feel LBS fully delivered on this. Following our engagement with LBS we awarded a number of SLA contracts for a range of other web projects that we manage and the responsiveness and attention to detail is second to none.
