We have been working on some top secret projects not ready to be released yet but here are two sites we have completed in the mean time. Both are fully bespoke offerings.
Contractcars.com - Full ASP driven site with a bespoke CMS behind the scenes built around PHPmyAdmin - took a while to pull the PHP apart but the end result is well worth it - the guys at Contract cars can now edit and update every element of the site. The site is fully optimised on every page so we look forward to seeing them top of the rankings!! - Completed May 2008
Skoot came back to us for the 2nd version of their site. Having amended their own business model to focus on the loan and car finance market, they needed a fresh look - we came up with this, which they loved and have had lots of positive feedback from their customers. This website is fully optimised for the search engines - Completed April 2008
We have also been working closely with Gecko2 in knutsford doing a lot of graphic work around heat pumps (not my market but whatever pays the bills!!) and doing a lot of graphics work for Reform Lifestyle. As web designers, we are broadening our horizons.
