We’re really pleased with the finished product - with the finished design focused around a set of illustrated icons to illustrate the global reach of the organisation. Visit the website here
Good Friends
We’re proud to announce the launch of the new Mr B & Friends website.
We’re long time collaborators with Mr B and we were delighted when they asked us to build their site. We were involved with the project from start to finish, advising on UI best practices and implementing the finished designs.
IG tools launched
We are proud to annouce the launch of the new IG tools for Julie’s Bicycle.
These new tools allow companies across the music industry to log and track their carbon footprints, via a bespoke front end interface that we have developed to work with the AMEE aggregation platform.
Solo Property redevelopment
Today sees the launch of the latest version of the Solo Property website, including a host of new features.
New features include integrated Google maps, more detailed search functionality and interactive appointment request forms.
Platinum Heat released
The just launched Platinum Heat website is our first site built using the Magento open source shopping cart system.
We believe in open source technology, and Magento is an excellent and extensible ecommerce tool that was just perfect for the job.
Our new home
Made Up Design have moved into the Dispensary, home to a large creative community in the heart of Bath.
The Dispensary is run by Radio, an established graphic design agency. They have created an amazing working environment over the years, and onsite facilities include a library, a bar and a cinema! It’s a truly incredible building that has to be seen to be believed.
This move means we have a wealth of creative talent on our doorstep and can offer our customers an even greater range of online and offline creative services.
Rich text replacement
Previously web designers have been restricted in which fonts they can use, having to stick to ‘web safe’ fonts that are installed on the majority of users PCs.
Times have changed - modern techniques such as sIFR and CUFON have allowed web developers to create dynamic rich text in nearly any font they choose.
New website
We’ve now updated our website and integrated all our content into the Wordpress CMS that we advocate for our clients.
We’ve added a few new features to the site - included these archives of our news stories and our ideas for your website. The design has remained familiar, but has been improved significanly with the addition of rich text for the page headers and the changing of the colour scheme in the main content area.
There are also more large images to give you a better idea of what we’ve been up to.
Indish redevelopment
We’ve been asked to develop an online shop for Indish. We designed the current site so we’re delighted to be taking the site to the next stage.
The new store will allow Indish to showcase a wider selection of their products on sale, and will allow them to pick and choose which items are for sale through the website.
Open source software
Using open source software you can get all the benefits of a massive development community without having to pay for the software licences.
Open source comes in many shapes and sizes - you can get open source scripts that process your contact form, or you can get fully functioning content management systems for running enterprise size systems.
Development is carried out by dedicated teams of programmers the world over, and as such there is an extensive support network available. And even if one of the application doesn’t have the feature you need out of the box, chances are someone out there has developed a handy extention that will do just what you’re after.
