Commissioned by Magna Law this site was produced in a short timescale to meet the strict deadline set by the client.
The brief was to get away from the traditional image of the legal profession of "quill pens and books" and to use graphics to show what the company is about and what it specializes in.

The news page can be edited and uploaded to the server by the client themselves as and when required.

The site owners wanted a superior store, easy to use that had a decent administration and could be optimised easily.

Imaker was able to move the majority of their products and customer details from the old system to the new system. receiving.

Panthers Kickboxing
Panthers is a long established kickboxing club with 4 active venues for training in and around Bristol.
Panthers wanted a website to showcase the club itself, to communicate with their members and to reach a wider audience than they were using traditional methods. They had prepared most of the text content and had a good idea of how they wanted the site to look, as well as knowing what information they wanted to show and how they wanted it presented.
They had many photos that needed to be displayed and we use several methods of showing them. On the home page and kids page we used a 'hover box' that shows enlarged images when a user hovers on an photo. Pictures from each of the training sites were held on FlickR.com and these are integrated into the "Photos" pages. If they want to add photos to those pages, then a quick update to their FlickR album will be reflected immediately into their own website. The club also produce a newsletter for members and that has also been integrated into the website with monthly updates.
The members of the club have responded very favourably with the launch of their site.

The client required a website that is both bright and lively with the criteria that there is a property search facility, listing the properties for rent, and displaying up to 10 images of each property. The search is run through a database that holds the property details and this is maintained by the client through a control panel.
The site also offers extensive information and guidance to landlords and tenants.

Sofa Project have launched several initiatives through and backed up by the website and offer a E:bulletin with their latest news, as well as continual updates to their special offers and "Bargain of the week". Recently they have created a page about their one-stop-shop furniture packages.
We are very pleased to have been able to support a local social enterprise that does so much good work in Bristol, and continue to work with them as the website expands.
Terry Culpan Gallery
The client, who enjoys an international reputation, wanted to have his own "presence" on the internet. The initial brief was to build a "brochure" style website that would show the artist and his work in a favourable light. Terry wanted to be able to offer viewers the chance to look at his work and to purchase originals and prints, as well as contact him.
The site evolved into 6 main pages that include a home, about, contact details and an online form, customer information and 2 gallery pages, 1 of originals and 1 of prints.
The galleries contain many thumbnail images of the artists work and each image contains a link to an enlarged view of that image. To protect copyright these enlarged views are protected by watermarking.
The design conforms to the w3 consortium guidelines for coding, style sheets and accessibility.
Update - Terry has now changed focus and though still sells his painting and prints is also teaching and demonstrating. Consequently he decided to have the site redesigned allowing the opportunity to have a content management system (CMS) so that he can update the site content himself.
Annie Halls Poultry
Annie is a well known and respected farmer based at Siston in South Gloucestershire.
Her website had been built by a family member but had been growing more and more and had become large and unmanageable.
We were able to recommend that Annie's site was rebuilt from scratch, to include a number of seo options and had, at it's heart, a content management system that was both useable and quick. The site would also have a secure online shop for Annie's products.
We were delighted when we were given the go ahead on the redesign and enjoyed working with the client immensely. The site reflect Annie's character, she wanted a lot of input on the site look and feel that her customers would appreciate.
NP Records
We were approached by the client to build a web site that would add credibility to their growing business as an independent record label and promoter.
The site contains a flash header and informational text and image boxes that could be added and updated easily by the client. The concept was based around the client's existing presence on myspace.
Disney Doorstep Villas
This is basically a redesign for a private owner of a rental villa.
The old site, though visually very similar to this, was not indexed by the search engines and so was getting a very poor response from the internet. We have adapted the old design, rebuilt it using CSS and carried out on page optimisation to attract more visitors to the site. There is still some work to do to improve the presence still further.
The site contains several "flash" animations and links to external sites for panoramic views of the property and to a separate calendar and booking system that the client is able to maintain themselves.
Our Florida Villa!
This site has been designed for a client who owns a rental villa in Florida.
It is still in the process of development as all the features are not yet complete, however, in view of the booking season approaching the site has been launched early to attract search engines and customers!
Our client had several ideas that have been incorporated into the design and the intention is that they will be able to update the site themselves. In particular the availability calendar page will need to be changed each time a booking is made and updated again when confirmed from a provisional booking.
There is a contact form within the site for any kind of enquiry and this includes an image verification (captcha) to deter spam and automated bots.
