Portfolio Updated
Our website and ecommerce portfolios have been updated to include some recent projects. Under client sites, we have added the School Aid Network and Elm Grange interiors websites. Under the ecommerce page, we have added our new Webtail shops Ecotime, Decoy Direct and Gaffertape.com as well as a bespoke ecommerce site, Hotcakes gifts :)
Site Revamp
We have been so busy on client projects lately that we have been neglecting our own site a bit. However, we have shown it some love and now we have a fresh new design. Because the whole site is made from XHTML and CSS, we changed the whole design within a day. We also added a print portfolio to show what we can do outside of websites.
New Projects
We're not going to give too much away, but we have just signed a new project involving motorbikes. We will be integrating our graphic design work and custom PHP/MySQL with existing software to create an integrated system for our client. More details soon!
There is also a new Webtail shop in development for a former eBay seller who has had enough of paying their fees. The new shop will present a more professional image, and works out much cheaper than their current fees...
DoubleRed have also returned to us for their third web project - a site to promote the relocation of their company and their new photography studio.
