Sony

We worked closely with the internationally renowned 'Silicon Meadow' on this Web Site for the human resources departments of Sony Europe. The site was first built and implemented just over a year before it was brought to us and our task was to take the site plus all of the things they had learned about the existing site (likes/dislikes etc.) and create a whole new site available in 13 languages across the Sony 'Intranet' network.
With the first phase declared a complete success, we were also called in on phase 2 to make some further modifications to the structure and add another 5 languages

The Sony Workstyle site is exclusively available on their internal 'Intranet' network and can usually only be accessed by Sony employees, interested customers should contact us to arrange a viewing.

The Environment Agency/Eco Tech

We worked on construction of the main Flash animation for this CD ROM production for The Environment Agency and Eco Tech. The CD has been distributed to upper schools across the UK to help educate 11 - 15 year olds about creating a sustainable environment and about the impact of a modern society upon the environment. Because of the limited bandwidth over the Internet it is not practical to put this production online, however, interested customers should contact us to arrange a viewing.

The Purr Company

We have now completed 4 phases of building on The Purr Company Web Site

Starting with a micro-site to support their brisk eBay Sales, the company quickly built a solid customer base. This lead to the adding of a basic shopping facility and then a full e-commerce system, newsletter management system and database driven cat picture gallery.

We also implemented strategies that have lead to top place rankings in Google, Yahoo and MSN, bringing in streams of free traffic and extra sales. We still maintain and update this site on a regular basis and have recently begun work on their wholesaler support site at www.thepurrcompany.co.uk.

 

Nightstars

Nightstars hand paint 3d glow in the dark starscapes onto ceilings, walls, doors and more; in fact if it can be painted on then it can have a glow in the dark starscape from Nightstars.

Nightstars asked us to develop a simple microsite that would tell visitors a little about the company and generate enquiry phonecalls from interested customers. With a lot of the groundwork already done by themselves, we were able to qucikly and cost effectively put together a rather impressive website (if we say so ourselves) to do exactly that. Nightstars were delighted with the results and, although it's brand new and hasn't been online for very long, we are confident that this site will help them achieve their goal.

 

The Greyhound

The Greyhound pub in Chevington, Suffolk have over 40 traditional Indian recipes on their menu and attract visitors from across the country. Over the last few years they have been getting calls from people further afield asking if there was a website so that they could see what types of food are available before making the journey to the wilds of Suffolk.

When they approached us, they knew that they wanted the site to serve these people and should include some form of online menu, so we talked extensively with them to figure out what their customers need and exactly how that could be achieved. Since we made the site for them they have reported that not only has the site gone down well with the more distant customers, but the locals have also been using it to help them decide which new dishes to try on their next visit. In addition to this, they have drawn in new customers who were simply using Google to find somewhere nice to eat.

Since their website has been so effective for them we decided to use this experience to offer other restaurants a cost effective online menu service. More details about that will be added to the website soon, but in the meantime please contact us to find out the details of this new service.

 

Classics Direct

Classics Direct is a specialist music company selling classical music in many formats via mail order. When they approached us to discuss how they could use the Internet to develop their business, they had no fixed plan as to what they wanted to do or what the end result might be. Like many companies established before the Internet boom, they just knew they were missing out by not getting involved.

After discussions covering all manner of possibilities it was decided that the web site should first support their already successful print media marketing campaigns, and so version 1 does exactly that. Offering comprehensive PDF lists of the latest releases and promotions, with an interactive order form that can either be submitted from the web site or printed out and mailed, the site is now live and in regular use by existing and new customers alike.

Since the site went live we have made updates on a monthly basis. We are currently working closely with Classics Direct to analyse the traffic and devise a strategy for taking the site forward as visitor numbers and sales increase. We are also developing a site for their sister company, Compact Music.

 

Emo Engineering

We were very pleased when a ward winning VW restoration specialists Emo Engineering approached us for help getting their business online. At the time they had no web site, email facilities or other online presence but they knew that not only are these things important for all modern businesses but they're also great tools for marketing.

The first stage has been to buy the right domain name (www.emoengineering.co.uk) and set up a basic information page while we develop the rest of their site. They now also use email for communication and are beginning to successfully use the web to generate leads and interest in their work.

Some photographs of one of their award winning restorations (pictured to the left) have since been added to the original page and development is underway for a more in depth site detailing their highly specialised work.

 

Saveourhospitals.net

In 2004 the Suffolk West Primary Care Trust (PCT) tried to end almost all hospital services in Sudbury by closing the much needed Walnuttree and St. Leonard's hospitals.

A campaign to keep the hospitals open was mounted by staff and local residents, which was supported and documented by the web site we built and maintained at saveourhospitals.net.

Despite some initial success, the campaign was ultimately unsuccessful and in early 2006 the PCT decided to close the hospitals. The hospitals remain open at the present time and we are very pleased to offer our support to a number of patients that have mounted a legal challenge through the courts system and we wish them the best of luck.

NetworkUPVC.co.uk

Network UPVC came to us with a very thorough brief they had already made. They knew that they wanted their site to show a sample of their range of products to potential new customers and they asked us to follow their guidelines as to the style and content of their site, keeping consistent with their existing corporate imagery.

We worked with them to deal with all of the technical issues around their initial idea, and created this site for them with less than 3 weeks from our first meeting to the final build of the site.
