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.

My PA Online is a new site that I have just completed designing, it features some lovely typography that symbolise the focus of the business. The site was a vast improvement to what was before, the treatment I gave to the design was some add some interest and personality and to project the right messages to her wide audience.

Keystone Communications

Martin Philpot — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:22:11 +0000

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

Martin Philpot — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:08:29 +0000

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.

Medical Recruitment websites

Martin Philpot — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:38:57 +0000

I have just completed another website to go alongside three others to form a family of sites for Honeybee Recruitment. Mercury Medical Locums follows the same the design style as the previous three sites create by myself, for Honeybee, with a simple colour scheme and font style change.

The sister companies, Just Dental Healthcare, Hydra Healthcare and Military Medical, which have their own colour schemes and logo but the same site structure and concept as Mercury Medical Locums.

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.

Here are some screen shots:

Air Audio Visual

Martin Philpot — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:53:59 +0000

Slick, modern site for an audio visual specialist. These guys are specialists at designing and installing bespoke, top of the range audio visual systems in homes and offices. Their products range from home cinemas to ipod stations in children’s bedrooms to total security and environment control systems that use one smart keypad to control the entire house.

A slick, spacious and contemporary design fitted them perfectly, with minimal type contrasting with the beautifully shot photography.

The key to this design, for them, was to create animated picture sequences that are easily updated by themselves. The Flash files cleverly draw in the shots from pre-determined photo folders, so now the team at air av can replace any shot they like quickly and easily. This is essential for a company who needs to stay at the fore front of technology.
