A new integration enables Vuelio, a platform used to create, schedule and send press releases to journalists, to simultaneously publish press releases on Jadu sites.

In November 2020, members of the Jadu team attended TechShare Pro, an annual accessibility and inclusive design conference hosted by AbilityNet. The event focuses on offering insights and knowledge to attendees on creating and delivery digitally inclusive web content.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, councils have had to react quickly and efficiently to launch new services, move staff members to new departments to support increased demand and work remotely. But as the pandemic began to plateau, we observed a reset beginning to happen in local government, as councils finally had a chance to step back and assess the current situation, and how their new operations were fairing up.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, councils have had to react quickly and efficiently to launch new services, move staff members to new departments to support increased demand and work remotely. New services they needed to launch early on included; supplying Business Grant forms, supporting vulnerable residents, delivering food parcels and waste management services.

We’re a small team at Jadu - mainly designers and developers, project managers and testers - so when our CEO Suraj Kika laid out three core principles that will guide the company through the next few months, it provided important focus. We’re good at making tools and supporting our customers to make best use of those tools.

The COVID-19 pandemic will affect all of us in one form or another. One of the safest things we can do right now is to work from home (where possible), to slow the spread of the virus.
