The client had a single page website and wanted to raise the profile of the business - especially as they were celebrating 10 years in business. The project started with a complete rebrand, and developed a new logo that uses the iconic Castle Coch outline, which was hand drawn. The design project then led to the website project using their existing brand colours. In order to achieve a 'real' business look we worked with a local photographer to really promote the businesses services, staff and property. Some features include a full screen slide show and thumbnail galleries

A considerable time is spent looking at competition within your industry, and looking for inspiration from other websites and projects.
Finding the correct image for your business is vital part of the project and first impression for users - time is allocated for this reason. As a strong believer in planning, your concept will be mapped out from start to finish always working to the next stage to ensure a prompt delivery.
Design research is generally work that is carried out behind the scenes in order to achieve the next stage.
A bespoke design will be developed and presented for you to use as your online presence.
It is important to get the correct design as it will be judged by your target audience, and help generate leads for you.
Each concept is a custom design and never a ‘template’, I believe forcing a company in to an ‘off the shelf’ template doesn’t work - or more importantly, have the desired impression on users.
You can expect to see the concept in a pdf format.
Any changes will be made or remade until you are 100% happy with the proposed design layout
The idea is to get a concept that you are happy for it to represent your business, so any changes will be made as requested - once the design is signed off it will be built in to a web format for you.
Once the design is signed off the web build will begin, transferring a graphic concept in to a fully functional web format.
All structural parts, navigation and images will be applied at this stage, ready for content to be applied at a later stage.
The site will be tested in various browsers and functionality will be checked for usability.
This is to ensure the user experience is positive.
The content provided for the site will be applied to all the individual pages.
The options are your text and images can be provided by yourself or this can be arranged for you (at an additional cost).
The site will be set up, so it will be in a position for you to take a look.
This way you can experience the initial impression with all aspects in place.
At this stage the website is presented to you before going live.
You can expect to have a temporary link for you to view the website on your computer.
The site can be checked and you can confirm before we go live to the public.
Once the website goes live, Google will be notified by a number of signals.
This will be put in place prior to going live - to speed up the process for google to find your website and in turn help users using search engines
Websites will be tracked, and many detailed statistics about your website's traffic and sources can be accessed at any point.
These stats can include visitors, visitor locations, time spent on site, flow of pages visited and much more.
The idea of tracking is so you can instantly monitor the websites performance and use this data to help with your websites progression.
Looking for ongoing relationships there are may options available for your website, as your business grows so should your website.
There are a range of options available but always happy to assist clients with any queries.

A family based in Cardiff received some bad news, as their 9 year old daughter had been diagnosed with a rare case leukemia, and desperately needed a bone marrow donor match
- After some guidance I created a brand and website in order to increase the chances of finding a match
The ultimate aim of the website was to promote the increase in bone marrow donors. Some people never find a match and others can wait years...
the '#Pantsonhead' campaign was born. The story starts when the Hollie's uncle put his pants on his head to cheer her up. The campaign raised awareness by encouraging the public to take a photo of themselves wearing their pants on their head and post it on twitter!
The campaign was unique, attention grabbing and with the success many celebrities and sporting legends got involved
The new website helped promote their campaign, along with their social networks and determined/persistant family members.The website had a range of pages and the more popular being the gallery page of the huge list of stars, friends and family.
To name a few..
The goal of the website was to find a donor, the campaign hit newspapers, news broadcasts and even was the highest trending keyword in Spain! (thanks to Gareth Bale).
Below are just a small number of celebrities and sporting icons that were involved with the campaign
The campaign was so big it reached
…and counting
The exposure was unbelievable, being featured on the BBC evening news, newspapers and shared all across many social networks…etc
However the aim of the campaign was to encourage donor registration, and in turn increase the chances of Hollie's match being found. Amazingly the number of donors increased dramatically
More Media...
http://www.anthonynolan.org/news/2014/06/25/help-hollie-campaign-inspires-huge-increase-welsh-bone-marrow-donor-sign-ups
A lot earlier than first anticipated and a few weeks on Hollie had the news all her family and friends had been looking for.
Hollie found her match. This increased her chances of survival and in the journey increased everyone else's in the same condition. The campaign achieved what they set out to do! and in a very short space of time.
With her treatment and despite the huge efforts to find a match Hollie sadly passed away
The funeral as expected had a huge turnout, and it was quickly established that the family wanted to continue the legacy that Hollie had left and immediately started raising money for Anthony Nolan trust to help others like Hollie.
Help Hollie introducing an event to raise awareness and money for their chosen charity (Anthony Nolan)
The website evolved dramatically, including the content and the look and feel - The site needed a Christmas feel and required an online booking system so volunteers can book their slot ready for the event. The event created by Hollie's parents involved a '24 hour spin bike ride'.
Volenteers would take turn to make sure the bikes wheels would move 24 hours non stop.
Volenteers would book online and take it in turn to have their go (30 minute slots) - and get sponsored along the way. Despite the early hour and late night slots unbelievably 2 bikes were fully booked in just over 24 hours (thats 96 slots/people)
At this point more bikes were then introduced!
The charity event raised a staggering £18,000 (and counting) for Anthony Nolan Trust, and also other events were created such as the 'Penybont to Paris bike ride' and a 'ball' to raise awareness. The amount is set to increase with the introduction of new events
I anticipate the legacy that Hollie and her parents had begun will continue for a very long time. Her family were an inspiration and was amazed by their huge driving force and people power to to really give Hollie a chance
I very much enjoyed working on this charity project for a local campaign, despite Hollie not being with us today, it was a great cause - and was a website project that I will never forget.
