The Poundshop

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

I love a good poundshop, always coming in handy for organising a hen do or fancy dress. Here’s the third edition of the pop up shop: The Poundshop and it only has 6 days left to run. Each item above is only £1 but there are some items at £5 and some at £10. I do love a bargain.

New Site Launch: Lynchpin

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

A few months back now we worked with Lynchpin, a web analytics company for the first time on refreshing their existing site. They were keen to keep using Drupal which they were comfortable using and were able to alter code here and there. So what we ended up doing for them was a completely new home page and footer and a couple of basic templates to use elsewhere in the site that they could tweak themselves. We also worked on making the home page ‘timeline’ interactive.

Andrew Hood of Lynchpin said, “ILCK were the perfect partner for our website relaunch project. They translated our marketing strategy into an end result that we are delighted with, and more importantly is directly driving new business for us. Friendly and pragmatic, ILCK were a great sounding board throughout the process and really helped us refine how we present ourselves in the market. The build itself was high quality, on time and on budget – testament to their design, technical and project management credentials.”

Francois and the Atlas Mountains

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

I saw Francois and the Atlas Mountains play live last week, supporting Kenny Anderson and Jon Hopkins the night after they missed out on the Mercury Music Prize. It was a great gig and great to hear the Diamond Mine material played live. I’d never heard any of Francois and the Atlas Mountains before but I absolutely loved it. They all move about so much and every bit was so enjoyable and I can’t wait for their new album that comes out next month.

The story goes though that a few years back, Francois was going to pack the whole music thing in for his watercolour paintings and they are really very good but personally I’m very glad that he didn’t, I’m sure he can manage both!

The percussionist was just the most fun to watch – no shoes, bells attached to his knees and so energetic. Brilliant surreal backdrop too from the Grand Ole Opry, a line dancing venue, which gave the band an excuse to showcase a co-ordinated set of dance moves. Anyways, looking forward to seeing the album artwork too!

Cycle Scottish Borders

The team at ILCK were great; very supportive from a technical point of view and also flexible if things shifted a bit on design or build. We now have a website which meets consumer needs and that we are very proud of. Feedback from users and stakeholders has been very positive so far.  All in all, it was a very pleasant experience working with them.
