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.”

New Site Launch: Cycle Scottish Borders

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

So we launched the Cycle Scottish Borders a few weeks back. It has over 40 cycle routes throughout the Borders complete with profiles, the local attractions and businesses en route, gpx files to download and stats to help you choose a suitable route.

On the page above, you can refine your search by town, level of difficulty, altitude gain and distance.

And users can leave reviews of an individual route so you can judge based on other’s experiences if that route will be exactly what you’re looking for.

There are other sections on the site such as Stay Eat Shop which gives you listings for each whether or not you are there to cycle primarily, you can plan in some of those things too. The News Offers & Events section features local cycling events and more. The launch of the site was to also run along side the build up to the Tour of Britain departing from Peebles this weekend, which is a great event for the Borders to be hosting. We really enjoyed getting our heads into what cyclists would need from this site and we hope that it will be useful from the outset even though there is lots more that could be developed.

Classic Textiles

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Back when we launched the Centre for Advanced Textiles bespoke fabric printing site, we also launched a new site for another branch of their business called ‘Classic Textiles‘.

Classic Textiles is a collection of designs by 3 artists that can be reproduced onto fabric in custom lengths and in a number of colourways available in each design. They have collections from Lucienne Day, Sylvia Chalmers and Robert Stewart. Do take a look…

Centre for Advanced Textiles launch their new site

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

It has taken a lot of hours of planning, designing, building and testing but we are very happy to announce that the Centre for Advanced Textiles custom printed fabric site is now live!

They are based within Glasgow School of Art and have been printing digitally for a number of years now but this is the first time that you can upload your own pattern file or single image and create a pattern, choose your fabric and order your design to be printed – online.

The team at CAT all have degrees in textiles or manufacturing and have very high standards so your work is in good hands.

They have proved this by working closely with a number of great clients. They have printed fabric for Topshop, fashion designers such as Holly Fulton, textiles designers such as Timorous Beasties and Bluebell Grey, for many artists such as Deirdre Nelson, and photographers, such as Hugh Walker shown below.

Following similar companies like Spoonflower, based in America, we hope this branch of the business will do well for them.

New website for Ushida Findlay Architects

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

We’ve just launched a new site for Ushida Findlay Architects who are based in London. Their portfolio is varied and impressive, full of conceptual and unusual buildings.

My personal favourite is the Soft and Hairy House built in Japan, inspired by Dali’s prediction that architecture in the future would be ‘soft and hairy’.

They are also currently on site with an impressive project with Cecil Balmond and Anish Kapoor called the ArcelorMittal Olympic Orbit that is getting built on London’s Olympic site. I’d love to see the finished work in the flesh. I saw Anish Kapoor’s Marsyas when it was in the turbine hall at the Tate Modern and loved the sheer scale of it and walking around it (and touching it – got a row).

New site launch: Get Knotted

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Our latest site just launched this week is Get Knotted – a website to showcase the work of wedding planner Lindsey Hunter. It has been great fun working with so many photos of weddings.

My favourite section of the site is the Inspirations gallery where 16 weddings, that Lindsey has co-ordinated, have been hand-picked. You can read each couple’s testimonial of what it was like working with Get Knotted and see some photos of their big day.

A blog is in the pipeline, along with some new services that Lindsey is offering.

New Site for Wells Cathedral

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Another site launched in the last week was for Wells Cathedral – the beautiful cathedral in the smallest city in England. In terms of number of pages, this seems like one of the biggest sites we’ve launched and it has been a big task for them to gather all the content for going live. We have just launched at phase 2 and have lots more to add but it is great to have the new site up for all to see.

New Sites and Updates

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

So as I had said, we’ve been busy lately so this is the first installment of recent projects that have just launched. A few more to launch this month.

So first up is a new site launch L.A. Bento who deliver quality business lunches in L.A. The pictures make me hungry every time, especially before 1pm!

Next we have worked on some site updates. The first of which was a new colour palette for CCA Glasgow.

Lastly, for now, just launched today – an additional section to the Countryside Kitchens site to feature their new expansion called ‘The Studio at Countryside‘ which stocks luxury tiles, and Farrow and Ball paint and wallpaper. They have a beautiful new showroom and shop for people near Kelso.
