Revolution Mailorder site launch

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:01:01 +0000

The guys over at Revolution are always looking for new ways to make sure that their products can reach far and wide. As they are based in South Africa, and the country being very fresh to internet shopping, they have decided to revert to a modernised version of the “old school” mailorder system where customers are able to browse product online and then place an order through email. This allows them as a company to reach customers without credit card access in small faraway towns while also assisting them to keep costs down which they kindly offer back to their customers which benefits everyone really.

We have just launched the website which we have coded for them by developing a fully customised template theme to be used on a WordPress install. We have also built in some custom features including randomised banner advertising, video spotlights, products of the week banners, latest products display, great search facilities, order forms, main promotion slideshow and then social network sharing of their products.

We recently had some work shirts embroidered for our friends over at Eco Tech Heating Services so that their staff could wear them while out on field. They came out really nice.

If you are in or around the London / Kent area and need help with your heating / plumbing then make sure to chat with the EHS team on ecotechheatingservices.co.uk

Gro Hair Stylists website launch

admin — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:28:18 +0000

A few months back we were contacted by the team at Gro Hair Stylists as they were in dire need of a website update. They were originally running a free website which was not working well for them as it was mostly flash based and they were not getting the traffic that they deserved … especially considering the beauty of their salons and the quality of their work.

We sat down with their brand over-looker, Gabriella, and discussed what the salon is currently working on and what they hope to achieve moving forward. Taking this all into account we set about coding their site based around the WordPress back-end which would allow for them to update the site as they need with new looks, news blogs, new products, service pricing updates and how-to videos.

The site launched just over 2 weeks ago and the viewership has already grown from 320 unique visitors a month to almost 600 since launching.

The salons are beautiful and definitely worth checking out if you are in the South West London area. Have a look at the website on www.grohairstyle.co.uk

Highway Collective is PVW SOTM

We just received exciting news and the website we developed for The Highway Collective has been awarded the Performance VW magazine site of the month which is an absolute honour.

We have loved working with the guys over at The Highway Collective and are excited to have contributed to this exposure for them.

How To Love London website launch

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:31:55 +0000

We have just completely (for now) working on an incredible project. We were commissions by the group from How To Love London to design and develop an interactive website for them to allow an easy-to-use platform for them to share their gems (special finds) in and around the beautiful city of London.

We used WordPress as the backend for the website and it has just gone live as a first version. We will be working closely with them over the next few weeks to adjust the site as we see necessary depending on what readers request.

We love the idea though … one website with free information of places and things to look out for that show you how to love London. Have a look at the website on www.howtolovelondon.co.uk

Dear Reader Idealistic Animals release

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 22:03:21 +0000

Today Dear Reader released their new album entitled Idealistic Animals and we are really excited because we handled the album photography as well as all the press photography leading up to and supporting this album. It’s a special album worth getting your hands on. This was done together with Marcus Maschwitz.

These are a few pages of the CD inlay where our images have been used.

Support Banquet Records

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 09:54:08 +0000

We said that we would be using this blog to share things we love (besides our own work) and Banquet Records in Kingston is definitely one of our favourite places. They market themselves as more than just your local record store and they have that idea spot on. Banquet Records is at the core of music and they just get (from their handwritten review notes on albums to hosting intimate gigs).

Support their online store, visit their shop in Kingston and/or head out to one of the shows they have coming up. Great guys with a passion for sharing new music.

Beau & Arrow create edgy unique handmade silver jewellery and they do this with a passion. Be sure to look them up or visit the site on www.beauandarrow.co.uk

St Andrews Feature in At Home Parenting

Our client, Saint Andrews Montessori, was featured in Jo Frost‘s At Home Parenting Magazine all about Montessori education and their beautiful school over in Islington, London.

We worked closely with the staff at Saint Andrews to shoot photographs that would accommodate the article as well as proof read the copy and write content for the feature. The magazine is out now but if you cannot get your hands on it then make sure to visit www.saintandrewsmontessori.com

iCADE, we definitely want one

admin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:45:09 +0000

Nostalgia is something that gets most, if not all, of us excited so when something comes along that reminds us of the carefree YOUNG past, we were once a part of, we smile.

The iCADE is one of the most exciting “gimmicks” we have come across and it all started from an April Fools joke which goes to show that ideas all spark from something … even from silly things.

Basically the iCADE turns your iPad into a retro arcade cabinet that when coupled with the right apps will create hours of entertainment and we found the Atari’s Greatest Hits bundle to be more than sufficient to begin with. The cabinet needs a little bit of assembling but we found it part of the fun. We think you should check it out for sure.
