New Website for Existing Client

We designed a website for signcraft.co.uk many years ago then a better one after that, as technology and styles change. We are now embarking on another new website for the client, which is truly in vogue. 

Signcraft, signage specialists, have provided almost 400 photographs in readiness for their new website. They have also presented a visual of how their home page might look, going forward. 

We are currently working on which features are to be created for the website to look vibrant and interesting. We know that you can't wait to see the end result but, in the meantime, here are some signage images, illustrating the power of getting noticed.

Old Photographs for a New Archive

Ugley village, on the borders of Essex and Herts, is anything but ugly! Run by the Ugley Village Hall board of volunteers, ugleyvillage.org.uk has a wealth of information which is regularly updated and added to, from their monthly farmers' markets to a potted history of the village. 

The latest website updates include an archive of more than 100 historic photographs of Ugley plus ITV and BBC documentaries, broadcast earlier this year. 

Considerable work was involved to select and resize the images for their archive page. Example of the photographs of life in Ugley are below. For more, go to:

Any Ugley residents, past or present, are invited to contribute - please contact Ugley village via the Ugley village hall website.

January for Home Improvement

It may come as a surprise to some people that, despite the economy and freezing temperatures, many homeowners are getting their home improvement projects under way this month. 

Extensions take months, therefore continuing the project over the winter makes sense - but what about replacing patio doors on the sitting room or kitchen/diner? Yes, that happens too! Well, why not, with Christmas out of the way and - here's a fact - new doors can be fitted in half a day which is no real hardship, is it?

Our client, SunSeeker Doors, has been manufacturing doors to order and installing them for over twenty years. At that time, they launched bi-folding doors, the only British manufacturer to do so and, in 2009, they launched UltraSlim doors. Again, the first British door designer and manufacturer to offer bespoke, ultra slim aluminium frames with a revolutionary concept. 

UltraSlim has a master door which will pivot (either inwards or outwards, as the customer prefers) then each of the other doors can be moved along the guide rails, leaving a gap where required - or even several small gaps by spacing the doors. All the doors can slide towards the master door where they, too, will turn  90° to stack against the side of the gap, whether the door set comprises 2 doors or 8 doors. 

The doors have slim profiles and, with only a 19mm side frame, there is more viewing glass than most retractable door systems. SunSeeker Doors Frameless Glass Doors have more glass but may only be suitable for specific installations. 

Visit the SunSeeker Doors website for full information. Some of the January installations are shown below.
