1st Birthday!
It's felt like 5 minutes, but we kid you not, it's been one whole solid financial year! We can't believe it either. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun debugging CSS and thinking up new AJAX interaction.
We'd like to thank all our wonderful clients who have kept us busy and amused over the past year. We're extremely lucky to be where we are today, feeling a lot wiser, more experienced and ready to tackle all the new and exciting oppotunities the next year will have in store!
Relocation
The studio now has a new home in leafy Cheshire! We recently relocated to the historic town of Knutsford, just southwest of Manchester. Famous for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and the Tatton Flower show.
Thanks to the flexible working nature of the web design world, business is as usual, with a few fresh websites launching and many exciting projects in the pipeline.
If you're a regular viewer of BBC Three you may have watched Britain's missing top model. We recently launched a new website for Love Productions the TV company behind this series and a few others, notably Young Mums' Mansion, Filthy Rich and Homeless and Cirque De Celebrité.
If you're planning a visit to Gibralter any time soon we highly recommend dropping in to our friends at the Savannah Lounge, a newly opened bar and restaurant on the island. More info on their new website of course!
Hectic
A bunch of new websites painstakingly designed and proudly launched - links above. We've had such a busy couple of months so the news section has been a little neglected.
The long awaited @media 2008 is this thursday and friday - looking forward to sitting back and indulging in a few days of pure web geekery.
Soon to lauch is our biggest and most challenging website to date - watch this space.
And Alex is still one of Prickie's top sellers...
Conference fever
We've bought our tickets to @media 2008 - only the best annual web design and development conference! Very excited indeed. Plenty of fantastic speakers sharing their in-depth knowledge and experience. The @media website features various speakers' podcasts - a taste of what the event will have to offer so definately worth a listen.
We recently launched a newly designed website for T.P.C.M insurance- a small firm specialising in landlords insurance, based in Brighton - hence the colourful image of beach houses along the sea-front. The website has all the usual bits you'd expect form an insurance website such as an online quotation facility.
Happy New Year
As you can see the website has taken on more of a blue tone to give it new vibrancy for 2008! The New Year has already brought with it a plethora of new and exciting projects. Some of which you should she going live over the coming weeks.
We recently launched The Open Space website. A new business skills training company with a twist. Not to mention taking care of the logo design and branding.
Freelance work opportunity - if you've had any experience designing or developing for Drupal then we'd really like to hear from you.
Designers Needed
A quick monthly update. With the projects piling in it looks as though this Christmas will be spent not only tucking into mince pies but also debugging code and battling server issues - did anyone else experience the recent frustrating problems with (mt) and BT Internet? Inconceivable.
Only one noteworthy launch this month being West London Promotions, a local distribution company, who's website received the Web Standards treatment.
In the new year we'll hopefully be looking to take on a pair of freelance hands to help out with a few exciting projects. If you can write semantic code with your eyes shut and have a passion for producing funtional and smart looking websites then why not send us an Email. Any Drupal experience also a bonus.
A Flying Start
I can't believe it's been a whole month already. It's seems like so much has happened in so little time. Client web design work has been coming in thick and fast and there are plenty of exciting projects lined up for the next couple of months, so overall it's been a very promising start for us!
A couple of websites will be launching very soon - Dylan Harrison's online portfolio of impressive advertising work and also the interactively rich Savannah Lounge website. Both use new features that we've been keen to implement such as flash video and a streaming music player. With UK broadband connectivity almost 90%(!) there's more reason to offer media rich content to your audience.
It all Begins
After countless iterations, grid layouts, font styles and tiled background images the website is finally launched! And No doubt plenty more changes and tweaks will be implemented along the way.
Welcome to all! It's been a long time in the planning and hopefully this will be the start of something really quite remarkable. Seeing as you've got this far please feel free to stay a while and browse our recent work. If you're here looking for highly creative web design and development then call us and we'll be happy to discuss your digital design needs!
