Safor Limited

 

In 2008 Hayes Anderson's Webmaker division created a Flash-based website for Safor - the first website for this London-based designer and retailer of high quality handbags and leathergoods. The site was completely revised in 2010, with reduced dependence on Flash and a fully integrated online shop. The shopping cart was written exclusively for Safor in PHP, and features stock management, automatically calculated postage options and discount coupons. There is also a facility on the site for users to subscribe to Safor newsletters, etc.

 

An extensive secure back-end was developed, allowing Safor management to administer the online shop - and update parts of the website - with no knowledge of HTML or PHP. This includes displaying and updating customer and order data, uploading and amending product information (including high-resolution photographs), adjusting stock levels, vat and postage rates, setting and removing discount codes, adding/editing stockists, managing subscribers, backing-up data, etc.

 

 

Keswick Enterprises

 

We developed the first corporate website for this private equity business that not only invests in logistics and supply chain-related companies, but also proactively manages them. The site features a Flash main menu and animated slideshow. There is a secure back-end, incorporating a file-sharing area and a press release CMS. The latter allows authenticated personnel to upload company press releases and accompanying images/captions, plus translated versions, with no knowledge of HTML or FTP.

 

 

Tibbett Logistics

 

We then produced this somewhat larger site for Keswick Enterprises' Romanian subsidiary, Tibbett Logistics. Incorporating an extended Flash-animated menu and homepage slideshow, this site features a similar secure back-end with file-sharing area and press release CMS. As well as the general contact form, there is also a careers section - allowing users to apply for employment in the company and upload their CVs. The secure back-end in addition allows authenticated personnel to keep track of all such information received from users and to maintain a record of company responses.

 

 

Vinson Challenge

 

This website was designed and built for Marie Curie Cancer Care in support of Lord Forsyth's climb of Antarctica's highest mountain. The site outlined the challenge and provided a method of collecting charitable donations from supporters. It incorporated an animated 'thermometer' graphic showing accumulated donations that could be easily updated by the home team from a secure back-end.

 

Significantly, we also provided the technology for Lord Forsyth to send blog posts (including photographs) from Antarctica via satellite phone, and for them to appear automatically on the blog. The blogging system was specially written for this purpose in PHP. The secure back-end also provided the facility to moderate blog replies and add new posts. In addition, an emailer utility was provided so the home team could keep supporters informed throughout the challenge. An automated slide show was later added.

 

 

And the specially written blogging system, with each post appearing on a separate 'sheet of paper'...

 

 

Celebrate A Birthday

 

We designed, developed and built this sophisticated commercial site offering a tailored celebratory website as a milestone birthday gift. The unique site allows a number of user photographs to be uploaded and a customised Flash-animated website to be automatically created - all without any technical knowledge. Requiring some clever HTML, Javascript, Flash/Actionscript and PHP programming, the site was also integrated with an online payments system.

 

 

Trossachs Self-Catering

 

In 2009 we designed this interactive Flash-based site for Trossachs Self-Catering, which supplies holiday accommodation in Scotland. The site features sound, an animated menu, a slide-show and an animated photo gallery. The sophisticated contact form incorporates calendars, drop-downs and radio buttons - with integrated data checking. An online booking and payments system was later added - written exclusively for Trossachs Self Catering in PHP.

 

 

Chris Mitchell - builder

 

In 2008 our Webmaker division produced this interactive site for a small Norfolk builder. Along with an animated menu and other Flash features, the site includes XML Flash-based projects portfolio and testimonials pages – making the addition of a new project photograph, for example, as simple as adding a single line in a text file. The contact form incorporates automatic data checking (including required fields and email address validation) and features a drop-down location selector.

 

 

Emma Plus Limited

 

Webmaker designed and produced this Flash-based website for Emma Plus, a Brighton based retailer of designer ladieswear. The animated site includes music, dynamic images and a sophisticated online customer database. Using cookies to improve the user experience, and specially written in PHP and mySQL, the database enables customers and prospects to maintain their own contact and other information online. For users with low-bandwidth connections we also created a no-Flash version of the complete site in HTML and Javascript, incorporating sound, pop-up pages and an animated menu and logo.

 

 
In 2009 a Forum/Blog was added, designed to meet the client's particular requirements and specially written from the ground up in PHP. The Forum provides the ability for users to upload images (which are automatically resized), and incorporates a secure administration area. A gift voucher sales page was added in 2011 - enabling transferable vouchers for any value to be purchased online and printed out from the user's browser.

 

 

Buzzwheelz

 

This holding site was designed and developed for Buzzwheelz - an online retailer of electric and folding bicycles. The site incorporates animated menus and an animated Flash header with sound, and when the business is ready will offer a full shopping basket (e-commerce) facility.

 

 

Tibbett & Britten Group plc

 

We also wrote, designed and produced this entire 1000-plus page global site for logistics giant Tibbett & Britten. Features include site search facility, floating menus, Flash mini-corporate video and RSS (XML) feeds. The site also incorporated a large company news archive, detailed investor-relations section and a list of definitions of logistics and related acronyms.

 

 

Clicking the image above will take you to a live replica of the website, as the original has been taken down following the integration of Tibbett & Britten into Exel plc. The full site has been preserved, apart from the Investors section and RSS feeds that provided financial/investor relations data.
