Most of our new business leads come from recommendations. One of the senior management team at Trade Risks had worked with us before in his previous role at Citibank and recommended we get involved with a redesign of the Trade Risks website. Their new website is primarily at the corporate finance world and as such is packed full of information regarding the complex financial services that they offer.

Most of the sites we build at the moment that require a content management system are built in WordPress 3.0 and this site was no exception. Trade Risks uses a custom theme design and built by LionDigital. This allowed us to deploy the site in under 4 weeks with an extremely smooth transition from their previous website.

We recently updated a few of our Adobe Creative Suite licenses to CS5 to allow us to take on a Flash XML job that required some of the neat features that Flash CS5 offers. Prior to CS5 it was possible through Actionscript to link an XML file to a .swf file. Flash CS5 allows you to control dynamic text through an external XML file. This XML file feeds either the .fla or the .swf directly. The only possible pitfall we found was that Flash auto generates language folders and the structure of these cannot be manipulated.

Republic Publishing produce THE official Nokia Blog and as successful as it’s been it needed a design and build refresh. That’s where Lion came in. With a new WordPress 3.0 CMS as the powerhouse and some clever custom development the new site went live earlier this month in a seamless move from old to new. With traffic in the high tens of thousands per month this site can only go from strength to strength. Check out our handy work.

The health department of Haymarket contacted us in order to develop a sales presentation for one of their products. The concept was developed on Illustrator and developed in Flash across 5 languages, English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and German.

The animations were made of cartoon characters, graphs and speech bubbles, following a logical and dynamic flow with the right balance of data sharing and storytelling. The result was warmly and enthusiastically welcome which comfort us in our belief that if the tool is right the salesperson can only do a good job.

Digital Jigsaw are part of the mighty Mobile Interactive Group (MIG) and they are a digital agency just like us. We’ve worked with MIG for 5 years now and have developed many of their websites over the years. We’re good friends with the team at Jigsaw and being busy bees asked us to look at designing and building a new website. This may seem strange given they are also a digital agency but they simply wanted a fresh perspective and also wanted it building pretty quickly. We’re good at that!

We developed a custom WordPress theme and pretty much all content is managed by the WordPress 3.0 CMS. The end result is clean and stylish and allows the great work that Jigsaw do to shine.

One of the leading sunglasses retailers is just down the road from us here in Hampton Hill. Last year we launched there new website, a Magento powered E-commerce site that has proved extremely successful. To promote the site we developed an e-newsletter which carried a discount promotion, news on best sellers and some fashion commentary.
