We spend a lot of time researching the web, trying to find websites that inspire - not only by the way they look but in the way they work and what they say.
There are many things that make up a great website; design, content, branding, layout, wording, clarity and many other things besides. We have put together a list of 15 websites that inspire, some new and some slightly older favorites.
The Europas, the inaugural TechCrunch Europe Awards 2009 for European and EMEA tech companies, were held last night in London. Over 400 entrants were voted on by the industry and also judged by 19 industry experts from across Europe. The results came together and awards were given to winners and highly commended companies.
As with previous TechCrunch events we appeared as a small part at the awards alongside our client Park Lane Champagne who provided prize winning bottles for the event. We helped them design the labeling for the winning bottles which went down a storm as usual.
During a recent web project we decided to drop the usual home button from the main navigation which proved to be highly controversial. After much debate we ended up adding it back in.
Since this project the same dilemma has cropped up on a number of occasions, the dilemma is this: Do we stick to what we’ve been doing for many years now or do we make the change and ditch the home button? After all, is it really needed?
After our recent design success of the new NHS Hampshire site we were invited back again to design a new intranet for the county.
Having had several meetings discussing the needs of every user within NHS Hampshire we worked with a very detailed brief and wire-frames to create a design that fulfilled every requirement which has exceeded all of their expectations.
