PT.com’s new logo and website

personneltoday.com

The new site for HR professionals is now live! Designed by PowWow and built in Episerver, it features daily news, opinion, jobs, blogs, the lot.

The PersonnelToday.com team asked us to develop a new brand identity, brand guidelines and site design. The objective of the re-design was to increase the number of logged-in users and create a more ‘newsy’ feel, using the new branding and colour palette.

New website for Boutique Sport

Boutique Sport website

Another collaboration between PowWow and Limelight Sports has launched. The new Boutique Sport website, for women who want to keep fit and beautiful, was designed after conducting a branding session with the Boutique team. Take a look at www.boutiquesport.co.uk.

Our client had very kind words to say about us!

“Working with the team at PowWow is a true pleasure. They go the extra mile to deliver and always ensure they have a clear understanding of the brand and the organisation’s objectives. The quality of their work is testament to this thorough and professional, full service approach. We have been particularly impressed with PowWow’s work on our new corporate website design and the Boutique Sport campaign site. We have had fantastic feedback from consumers and potential clients and look forward to our next collaboration.”

Flightglobal Directories Landing Page

fl_directories_landing

We recently developed a new look and feel for Flightglobal Directory . The landing page (pictured above) was created to promote and sell a directory and features an animation specifically created for the page, which was then adapted for use on print and online marketing. View the Flightglobal directory landing page.

Making waves – new Swimathon website

Swimathon launch their new website, designed by PowWow.

Take a look by visiting www.swimathon.org. Even better, why not enter a Swimathon near you and raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The Swimathon site is one of many jobs we are currently working on with Limelight Sports.

The web page fold – some interesting discoveries

A recent article in .Net magazine from a user experience expert has highlighted evidence from their research that people do expect to scroll the page and look at the scroll bar to assess how long the page is. The web page fold – the area you see before having to scroll the page has always been an important factor in user experience and while it is still important to put key elements above the fold, this should not be a barrier for design and content.

Salon International 2010

I visited Salon International, the biggest hairdressing event in the UK. There were seminars and demonstrations of the latest products and services with live performances on the catwalks from some of the best creative hairdressers. I was particularly looking at the range of straighteners on the market. I am currently using GHD straighteners and have recently trialled the FHI straighteners which I personally found to be a better product as you can adjust the heat and the plates are made out of Tourmaline which help to seal in moisture leaving the hair silky and smooth which is ultimately the look I’m aiming for. The new range of GHD straighteners are still using ceramic plates without the ability of adjusting the heat. I will be switching to FHI straighteners!!

Why WordPress?

Building sites with a CMS platform has never been easier for the web designer and client thanks to WordPress.  More and more clients are asking for their websites to be easily updatable – which I am very happy to do :D

Farnborough Air Show 2010

The sun shone all week at the Farnborough Air Show and as always we helped Flightglobal deliver their best event yet.

The strapline ‘Experience Farnborough as never before’ worked across the chalet graphics, online marketing and flash presentations. We created a guerilla campaign for Stefan the Pilot, an interactive overlay for the #FARN10 homepage, produced the Flight Awards and finally a campaign to watch Farnborough from your desktop… using the latest FLIR technology, the daily air displays were filmed and streamed through the Flightglobal website, a show first! Altogether a great show with people passionate about aviation.

My sunburn is still recovering!

The ANNAs

Virgin Worldcup Ad

I came across this awards site that showcases some of the best online and offline newspaper ads. Virgin Atlantic won ad of the month for June – ironic that it uses the England team as part of the promo. At least they achieved something over the summer!
