Their existing website has been tweaked to make it much more ‘search engine friendly’. Watch this space for future improvements!
We designed the new branding and website for this Bath-based community centre. The website is set up using the WordPress platform, which provides a great way to keep the site content up-to-date and ‘in house’. A bespoke WordPress theme was designed and developed and we also provided training for the content management.

I’ve used NextGen gallery for WordPress quite a bit and it’s a nice plugin. BUT… I’ve always wanted to be able to do ‘easy embed’ multiple jquery slideshows that show images in a RANDOM order. (This IS possible using the Flash slideshow component but I don’t always want/need to use Flash for this).
This was an unusual branding project – to develop a logo, brand and website style for a site which allows people (or their relations or carers) to store memories about their life; particularly aimed at those with memory loss issues such as dementia sufferers.

We designed and produced this Flash-based website for a London TV admin services company. We also designed their brochure and stationery. Although the site is Flash-based it still functions on mobile devices such as the iPhone (and new iPad) by reverting to standard HTML format.
