Place of design

APS Global is a very successful, expanding company based in the UK. They provide outsourced payroll solutions for business of all sizes worldwide. The company had a site that was a little old and dated – they wanted a new fresh site to reflect the changes that had already happened, and to also provide a framework to use in the future as the business grows

One of the questions we are asked a lot is: What sort of platform should I build my site on?  Forgetting all the fancy things, there are three major ways of producing a site for a small to medium sized businesses or organisations:  Static or brochure sites, blog style sites, and CMS type sites

Merlins Wakefield is a bricks and mortar magic shop. They had a online store that was under-performing, and needed some web magic (couldn’t resist, sorry).  We were asked to provide a user-oriented site, with a community element.  The owners wanted a site they could be in control of, and update and generate new content themselves

This was a very interesting build for us.  Not only was it “on topic” with us being professional photographers, but also it gave us the chance to be very creative with an e-commerce set up

Building the site
The build was to a very specified time scale, and included formatting all the product images.  The build involved very close cooperation with Lencarta on a day to day basis during the build, and then some followup work with customers after the build.  The build was done in phases, with a server move and dealing with the existing site to minimise downtime and disruption
