Alexander McCall Smith
The new look Alexander McCall Smith website was one of the most complex websites we’ve built, but hopefully you won’t be able to tell that when you visit it!
Alexander has written prolifically throughout his life, and as such the site needed the structure to handle his wide variety of novels and series of novels. The look and feel of each section needed to reflect the quirky and unique nature of each series too, so there were both design, animation and structural challenges to be tackled.
Again WordPress was up to the job, and we’re delighted to bring Alexander’s new site to the world.

The Iron Hunt
Publishers Little Brown commissioned us to create a set of Flash banners to advertise the latest novel by Marjorie M. Liu. Taking visual cues from the cover design we conjured up a dark and brooding atmosphere to fit the urban fantasy setting.
Copywriting
Content is still very much king, so it’s important to write really solid copy that visitors find useful, easy to digest, and interesting. It’s also important that your content is written accurately so that search engines rate it well.
Get copy right and you have the foundations of a good website that visitors will enjoy, search engines will rank, and other content writers such as bloggers will link to.
We provide a full copywriting service for websites, email marketing campaigns, and banner adverts.
NHS Newcastle Healthy Minds
We’re proud to have designed and developed the Newcastle Healthy Minds website for the NHS.
The site uses a unique system that enables the public to securely refer themselves to the NHS for help with mental health issues. This makes it much easier for people to get help quickly, helps save time and money. Other general information about mental health is also provided in the form of audio, animation and reading materials.
This is the first time the North Of Tyne NHS has use WordPress to power a website, and so far it has been very well received.

ATP
Flash Advertising and Online Animation
This project required that we inject some of the impact of the recent ATP TV advert into a 30k Flash banner campaign.
As always with online advertising campaigns filesize is an issue, but the ATP provided such high quality imagery that it was difficult choosing which images to use, and which to leave out. In the end the focus was on the main stars and the O2 venue itself.

Website Audits
If you have an existing website and want to know how it’s performing then we can carry out an extensive audit. Audits work as the starting point for an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) campaign, but they are also useful in their own to identify your site’s strengths and weaknesses.
Our audit provides an in depth report into the following:
- Keywords
- Search Engine Ranking
- Index Saturation
- Links Popularity
The audit will also provide suggestions on how to improve your site’s performance.
Arts Research Digest
The Arts Research Digest houses a large electronic archive of journals and research papers. We have built the site entirely in WordPress requiring a high level of customisation, really testing the limits of the platform.
The site features a fully categorised archive with custom search capabilities, and on the fly PDF generation, user registration and management of paid subscribers, blogging functionality, searchable reviews section, news and events section featuring the Kino Events Calendar, and a Flash animation updatable through the WordPress dashboard.

easyJet Business
Flash Animation and Online Advertising
These series of animation all used objects to publicise the advantages of flying easyJet for business, and as such adopt a slightly different tone to normal.
HTML Email Campaigns
Email marketing plays an important role in any online marketing campaign. Much more targetted than traditional mailshots, email marketing is a powerful tool with some serious advantages over its paper based predecessor.
We can help you grow a email marketing databaseand then design, deploy, report on and manage an ongoing campaign.
Tait 2 Productions
Wedding videographer Tony Tait wanted to get away from the traditional white and formal design so we designed a logo and colour scheme that really captured the spirit of his personal yet professional business. Subtle creams contrasted with bold, painterly splashes of blue.
Building upon this brand identity we designed a website to showcase Tony’s work. The flexible WordPress content management system allows the upload of sample wedding videos and features PayPal ecommerce for online payment.
