Partying with Clients
Thursday, June 6th, 2013One of my website design clients have just gone through a bit of a makeover and re-branding exercise, changing their name from Advice Machynlleth to Advice Mid Wales. As you can imagine the impetus behind this exercise is to reflect their growing geographic coverage and the fact that they provide advice and help to people all over Mid Wales, not just within Machynlleth.
Along with the name change there has been a change of logo and therefore lots of changes to their website. Not only the new logo, but a new colour scheme to tie in with the logo, a few design tweaks here and there and lots of changes t the copy. I’ve completed these updates but they won’t go live until tomorrow when they are having an official launch party.
The nice thing is I’ve been invited along to the launch party as well. It’s not very often I get invited to such things and it’s really nice of them to remember their lowly web developer for such things. I may only be a small cog in their organisation but I’m sure their website is the first port of call for many of their clients so my input probably has more of an effect than most people realise. I’m sure my invite to their launch party isn’t in recognition of this, but it’s a pleasure to be invited all the same and I shall indeed be attending.
Website Design for Sawmill in Aberystwyth
Wednesday, June 5th, 2013Pixelwave Web Design has recently started work on a brand new website design for Ystwyth Valley Sawmill, a local, family run business near Aberystwyth.
The proposed website is intended as a promotional tool for the sawmill which supplies products and services to a diverse range of clients throughout the UK. Their clients include the Forestry Commission and C.A.T. (The Centre for Alternative Technology).
The website will provide information on the sawmill and its history. It will outline the products and services they offer and will describe some of the specialist machinery they use to fulfil these. It will also outline their environmental responsibilities as well as providing essential contact details.
I’ve already started work on the design and so far I’m loving it. It’s nice to get my creative juices flowing again. Here’s a sneak preview!
