October 6th: JBA New Retail Site

JBA Seed Potatoes

After a development cycle lasting over a year, we're stoked to finally release the new version of the JBA Seed Potatoes retail store.

The new site is a complete teardown and rebuild of the old site, which was built on a system dating back to 2007 and was the very model of feature creep. We wrote an entirely new back-end system from the ground up, which controls content to this site and JBA's wholesale sister site.

We've focused strongly on ease of use on the new site: there's a lot of new functionality to make the buying process as simple as possible, but two of my favourites have to be the instant product filters (with permalinks) and the 'Notify me when this product is in stock' function.

This project was marred by the unexpected passing of our programmer, Yabba, which I've blogged about elsewhere. A tragic loss, and much missed.

August 4th: Horses for courses

Lead Rope

Lead Rope is an equine assisted training company based in Southern Scotland: we launched their new site this month. Working to a very specific brief, we went for a clean, modern feel to promote their corporate and executive training, building a custom theme for Wordpress based on their logo colour scheme.

May 24th: Vintage Massey Ferguson

vintage-mf

A mix of business and pleasure here, putting together a site to catalogue a private collection of vintage tractors. We used a combination of vintage photos, scanned pictures from the last two decades, and a quick on-site shoot to put together an eye-catching design which reflected the heritage of the collection.

For those of you keeping your browsers up-to-date, there's some nice CSS3 effects here, including box shadow/bevel effects and item transformation. It's lovely doing this in CSS rather than pre-production in Photoshop: not only can you make multiple changes through the stylesheet, you also get graceful degradation for restricted users.

May 19th: Corner House Hotel

Corner House Hotel

A nice new brand and website for this local hotel. We carried out a couple of photoshoots earlier in the year and added some custom content in a custom-developed Wordpress theme, with a little custom-built Javascript work to add the final touches.
