Lawson Lodge Website
The brief for this project was to redesign their site with an upmarket feel - making use of some stunning recently taken photographs of the property.
Despite the level of interactivity and the integration of elements into the design, the content on the site (including images) is all managed by the client.
moreRenovation One Website
One of the key features of this site is the ability for the client to manage almost every part of the site’s content themselves - from the rotating banner images through to adding/deleting pages and arranging the menu order. Everything can be simply and easily changed by the client, keeping ongoing costs down and removing any barriers to maintaining an up to date site (without compromising on aesthetics).
The site features automatic aggregation of latest testimonials into the banner, unique slideshows on each page with the ability for the visitor to skip through images and lightbox image enlargement.

Its been a great pleasure working on the new website for Expedient Software. The site features their software modules as well as some screencasts we produced for them highlighting some of the benefits of their software to their ever expanding client base.
Estruct Group Slideshow Website
Estruct Group decided they would like to upgrade their website to move to a more high end showcase of their incredible domestic renovation and construction work. The result is a full screen resizeable flash slideshow website tied to their CMS so they are able to change what images to show and in what order.
The site also features a more standard gallery and a neat slide out information bar with ‘about us’ information. Check it out here.

moreKLM Group Website
category: Web
We recently completed a major revamp of the KLM Group website including not only a redesign of the aesthetics but a complete overhaul of the page structure and coding to bring the site completely up to date.
We won’t bore you with too much technical detail but the end result allows the client to inexpensively modify the look of the site as frequently as they like in line with their desire to keep the site looking fresh. This result was achieved through the use of templating code and complex css styling allowing for a less labour intensive method of modifying the entire site without the limitations of a CMS.
