Examples of our work
The Wingits first contacted us in 2007 to help them with a website to raise funds. They were taking part in the Mongol Rally: a charity race from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The brief was to create a retro, chromed-up and fun logo and a website with the emphasis on fundraising.
The Wingits have chosen us again for their current website. The brief was simple but challenging. The website was to be journal/map that they could log into from anywhere in the world and add journal entries and photographs. Click on the links below to visit the website and see for yourself.
Rosie Blake is a fashion photographer who needed a website that would showcase her work to prospective clients. To set it apart from the many photographer portfolio websites Rosie wanted a slick, dark, modern look with a burlesque twist.
We worked closely with Rosie on the design and created a site with three interactive slide shows to showcase her photography. Following the success of the 2007 site we are happy to be working with Rosie Blake again on her 2008 redesign, which is currently in development. So watch this space.
Flash Fry Records approached us to create a site to showcase their growing roster of artists. The folks at Flash Fry have eschewed the stereotypical graffiti/urban look in favour of a clean, modern design. They required a site with a music player. The site also had to be easy for them to update as they need to be able to keep their fans coming back regularly.
The resulting website has a clean, typographic look with clear and simple navigation. The news page was created to be easy for them to be able to log into and add fresh content.
The Liwa Primary School Project is a privately run philanthropic project benefiting a primary school in Gugulethu Township, Cape Town, South Africa. The websites goal is two-fold: a website for the children at the school, and a means of attracting donors to the project.
The site combines local Xhosa colours, African landscape and fresh design to create a website that appeals to both children and potential benefactors. The project has achieved a great deal in the four years that it has been up and running, and the site is a celebration of this.
Vivienne Harris is a London based stylist who needed a website to attract new clients and to reduce the costs associated with mailing out her portfolio to prospective clients. Vivienne had a clear visual direction for the site: grey, minimal and slick.
The resulting site is a modern, simple looking site with an understated polish. It is designed to take a backseat to the most important content: the images. The website incorporates four lightbox-style portfolio galleries, each highlighting a different facet of the work Vivienne Harris does.
Westfields Human Resources are an independent consultancy specialised in the reward and compensation sector of the HR industry. The nature of the work means that they required a sober, professional looking site more suited to corporate markets. The site was needed to act as a simple brochure outlining their services, and as a point of contact.
A refined colour scheme, traditional typography, hint of pinstripe, and simple navigation sets the appropriate tone. The site is designed to fit comfortably on the screen of the executives laptop
Capable Solutions are a firm of local electrical engineers and alarm specialists. The challenge that they had was one of awareness: They were getting a lot of general electrical work but losing a lot of potentially lucrative alarm work to competitors.
The client already had a logo and needed a clear, modern looking site to communicate what they offer. The website is essentially as a brochure for their services. A third of each page is devoted to cross-selling related services.
istop kiosks are broadband enabled touchscreen kiosks. The kiosks are designed to be deployed in both rural and urban locations providing access to essential services such as jobcentreplus. It also features a shopping service that benefits local retailers with increased revenue and footfall.
Our brief was to spruce up a rather tired and unprofessional website in time to launch at the 2008 Labour conference. The dated graphics were given an overhaul, the sites content was pulled together and focused, and a promotional video was incorporated.
