Southern Fried Chicken, lip licking flavour - The home of the EMPIRE FILLET

Southern Fried Chicken

www.southern-fried-chicken.com

It's always nice to work on something you believe in, and we really believe in great tasting fried chicken! In amongst all the salivating, we somehow managed to construct this fresh new look for the Southern Fried Chicken brand.

The website features information for franchisees in a variety of languages, along with downloads and podcasts.
Cavity Trays

Cavity Trays

www.cavitytrays.co.uk

Cavity Trays began fabricating dampcourses back in the 1920s, and today this family owned business continues to be a leader in damp proofing building products.

This updated website, featuring a slight revision of the branding to tie together both their online and offline marketing material, allows visitors to browse the product range, get more information and download technical drawings.
Clerksroom - barristers, arbitrators, mediators

Clerksroom

www.clerksroom.com

This project involved a complete brand re-development for Clerksroom to modernise their website and printed media.

"The quality of work delivered has enabled us to tender for government contracts and compete directly with London based design companies. I believe the work undertaken by David Hurst, Tom Wittlin and their team is about the best in the marketplace…"

Stephen Ward, Director, Clerksroom
Bradfords - building supplies for trade and retail

Bradfords

www.bradfords.co.uk

Bradfords are well reknowned for their quality building supplies, sold through their 26 branches in the South West of the UK. Our task was to build a modern, professional website that reflected the quality of the Bradfords brand.

The website is also fully updateable by Bradfords using one of our bespoke Content Management Systems.

Energy Hair Salon based in Exeter, Devon

Energy Hair & Beauty

www.energyhair.com

Energy Hair and Beauty is an award winning salon based in Exeter, Devon. It was important that the website reflected the high standards of the Energy Hair team, displaying their skills to the best effect.

The result is an eye-catching and visually appealing website that makes use of the latest Javascript technology to provide dynamic visual elements that are also search engine friendly.

Crystal Classics - fine mineral specimens from around the globe

Crystal Classics

www.crystalclassics.co.uk

Crystal Classics specialise in sourcing high quality mineral and crystal specimens from around the globe. With a complex business model stretching across several continents, and the need to deal in multiple currencies, this was a challenging e-commerce website. Add to that the complexities of an online shopping environment where every product is unique, and you have one of our most programmatically complex websites.

The finishing touches are provided by the client's excellent product photography, and multi-linked product and location system.

Taunton School

Taunton School

www.tauntonschool.co.uk

This was a challenging website to say the least. A big school, with each year range having its own website, and each language within each school having its own microsite - all content managed with multi-layer permissions and moderating structures!

The end result is a vast improvement on the original website, thanks to the code engine developed by us and the design concept created by Think! Design Associates. We work closely with other design agencies on many projects.

Dorset Vehical Rentals - car and van hire for the South West

Dorset Vehicle Rentals

www.dorsetvehiclerentals.co.uk

Dorset Vehicle Rentals needed to modernise their online appearance and make the most of the growing online vehicle rental market. We created this content managed, search engine friendly website, which has been well received.

If you need to rent a car or van, why not try the region's premier vehicle rental company?

Southern County - Somerset based folk and bluegrass band

Southern County

www.southerncounty.co.uk

A local folk band needed a professional website that they could update themselves with gig dates and MP3 downloads - HigherSites® to the rescue!

"…Many of our website users have commented on its professional image and easy to use interface, and we would not hesitate to recommend this high class company."

Dan & Carly, Southern County
Family Mediation Helpline

Family Mediation Helpline

www.familymediationhelpline.co.uk

When you are commissioned to produce helpline software and websites for the Ministry of Justice, you have to get it right! The website is just the public end of an advanced call centre database that allows helpline staff to log calls to the helpline and forward the callers details to their nearest three mediation providers. The system works around a post code geo-location database.

We also built a similar system for the National Mediation Helpline, and have been involved in producing websites for many other key legal and mediation firms.

The websites feature a database of driving and riding schools that you can search with your post code using a find your nearest system.

These websites are an excellent resource for anybody learning to drive or ride.

Wright Associates

www.waonline.co.uk

The brief for this project included a complete brand design, with printed materials and a modern, stylish website. The website is content managed allowing this busy architectural firm to update their own website whenever they like, without additional costs.

The overall look of the new brand and website accurately reflects the contemporary high-end architectural abilities of Wright Associates.

Steam Recreations - photography by Don Bishop LRPS

Don Bishop LRPS

www.steamrecreations.co.uk

Don's photography speaks for itself. Our task was to create an elegant framework within which Don can display and sell his imagery, and promote his events.
