Simply Health Recruitment

Martin Philpot — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:41:30 +0000

Over the lst 6 months or so I have been working with the lads at Simply Health Recruitment. We have re-branded them with a new logo, and a brand new website. The logo and website design have modernised thier brand look, whilst internally they have also switched to a new recruitment system, Bullhorn. Our plan has been to integrate the Bullhorn system into our new CMS driven site, which has finally come together over the last few months. The result has been a very slick looking site that also does the business on the technical side, linking up with their published jobs to provide lasted job feeds and searchability.

Recently launched a very cool website, driven by the WordPress CMS, for start-up company Quantainia. They focus on providing sophisticated IT and business consultancy and security solutions. The site featured some funky animations within the header sections, and a very clean minimalist design. Business cards were also produced for the team.

Keystone Communications

Keystone Communications website has just been launched this week, featuring some funky graphics and character designs – each page had the characters adopt different colours and props to add extra interest. The site was designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7, with whom I worked to create a unique site that has tonnes of personality.

The entire site has been designed using the popular CMS bloggings system, WordPress. I love this platform as I can now offer my clients a superb design that they can easily edit themselves. WordPress makes publishing new pages and editing content a breeze, and I like it because it is pretty flexible in terms of adopting new design templates… everyone’s a winner!

Smithsbar

Just completed a new WordPress website for a bar in Chelmsford, call the Smithsbar. A colourful venue catering for an alternative crowd, the design featured a rich mix of black and a vibrant red with a flock wallpaper background, designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7. I have now handed the site over to him, with a easy to follow tutorial, for him to add the content himself.

Woodlands Hillbrow

New website for a local nursing home. A simple, easy to read design with an in-built blog. The latest new section is run by WordPress, which is fed via an RSS feed into the side bar on the main static pages – so they are constantly updated. Within the blog section we have activities lists, for both homes, which the staff can easily update each week.

Word Press Theme Designs

Martin Philpot — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 14:11:37 +0000

I have been working a lot recently on designing, and tayloring, themes for Word Press. Recently published is a theme for a felloe editorial designer who works in Essex. For him I designed his entire site using Word Press, mixing dynamic pages (his posts) with static pages (his home page, portfolio plus others…) into which I was able to integrate some animnated Flash elements to give his site some ‘zip’. Word Press is very intuitive to use, adding new posts, uploading pictures and information is just so easy – and combined with my skillful theme design, you can have a bespoke blog in a matter or weeks.

If you are interested in creating a blog and would like me to design you a ‘bespoke’ theme or you maybe you want a cost effective CMS system to drive your website then give me a buzz, Word Press may just be the answer.
