Websites we do: Hacketts to go

We were asked to do this site after Hacketts To Go had struggled for months with their old site.  It had costs a bomb and looked shocking for it.  Using Drupal technology we had the site for them in just a few days, at a phenomenally good value.

Helen from Hacketts was frustrated.  She had worked with a designer who struggled to deliver - giving her too much visual choice and ending up with a pink and green site.  Somehow it just didn't work.

She had started to blog elsewhere and use Twitter - because updating her site was impossible.  In frustration she decided they needed to start again.

Hacketts already had a strong brand and colour scheme.  We went back to basics, focusing on nice images and the content of the site.  We incorporated a blog so that content got built on their site - and fed it to the front page.  Special offers also fed through.  Images are auto-resized to keep the site looking the same throughout, and a nice menu structure makes it easy to navigate to what is important.

Drupal provides us with enormous power to create sites which look nice but also are content-centric.

I like it!  It took our last designer the same number of months as it took you in days to get this site ready.

Browns Accountancy are a new firm of accountants. It is a market where trust is important. Their website needed to communicate a friendly, dependable and approachable firm. More challenging was communicating the range of services on offer.

A unique ecommerce site which uses Google Merchant Center to promote it's products as well as providing full e-commerce functionality. Google allows you to upload spreadsheets of data manually, but we went better and provided an automated load for each product update to keep the data very current.

Signpost Fashion has an unique business selling one-off clothing items. They were starting from scratch and we did their entire 'image' and website. They needed a full ecommerce solution and a website with a continuously changing display, based on availability. Their front page updates automatically to show the newest items and remove anything which is sold.

Optima Recruitment needed to replace a current website with functionality which allowed them to gather resumes from people and post jobs they had available. What's more, they were keen to go live with it within a couple of weeks.

Creating a site for a completely new venture requires creativity and adaptability. We needed to develop a beautiful and impressive brand which has meaning. We also wanted the website to help a group of people remote from one another to share information easily.

When the new Trust behind Cogges took over, they wanted to rebrand their image entirely - and this of course included the website. Over a period of 10 minutes the site went from the old 'red' look (which had created temporarily) to this lovely 'green' look with stunning photography. A testimony to the power of our re-theming capabilities.

Cogges is a lovely old manor house and farm which sits beside the Windrush River. The Schools Programme involves artists working with school children in new media on the site. They wanted to be able to share experiences, photos and videos between schools.

Sometimes a website needs to be part of an integrated image. Complementing and enhancing print, banners, brochures, emails and other material. Much of it is already created and you need a web development company which can work to a design - advising and coordinating with the graphic artists to ensure their design communicates effectively in a browser medium.

When the Witney Big Breakfast Club wanted a new website they were looking for a technology that worked. As we gathered the specifications from the group, they thought it would also be nice to pre-book their menu choice, know who else was going to a meeting and be able to cancel. We were able to do all of that.

Life's a Peach has an interesting and different approach to sales training. They wanted a website that was flexible and adaptable to the development of the business. They also wanted to communicate a buoyant and optimistic outlook.
