Delivered: Square Mile

With beaming smiles and puffed out chests we released www.squaremile.com into the wilds of the web last week. Tasked with updating the fabled City-serving magazine into bankers and financiers new website du choix, we had the pleasure of working alongside the acerbic talents of a very popular celebrity-crucifying website, who (by someone’s master-stroke) have been contracted to provide the content. Boasting a refined concoction of sharp satire, City-centric news, exclusive access to clubs, events, product reviews and even a lunch time lottery, there’s already plenty to keep London’s movers and shakers’ minds from our money. Should we be worried?

Delivered: Catholic Herald

The Lord, like Back-End Developers, works in mysterious ways, and in April this year we were blessed with a project for the UK’s leading source of reportage for the Catholic faith- The Catholic Herald. The lovely staff at TCH needed to get their operation up-to-date with a clean, contemporary online equivalent to their broadsheet. The imperatives for this project were simplicity of content management, both in the office and on the fly, and user attraction. We worked closely with the editorial staff at the paper to deliver a WordPress site that would reflect the feel of the newspaper and resonate with its blossoming readership. Slick, intuitive and effortlessly navigable, it bears all the hallmarks of our corporate builds.

Delivered: Chasing the Bear

How often do you get asked to build the website for a movie AND star in the movie? Almost never! So when Ted Byron came to us and asked both we could not say no.

The site essentially is very simple, holding information about the movie it’s characters and those involved. The real genius is in the method of the build, a fully featured CMS allowing Ted to add and edit content until his hearts content.

If you take a look at the site you will see the teaser scene that features the Evisua team.

Delivered: Fnatic Shop

Fnatic, the worlds number one gaming team, requested a professional Ecommerce site to compliment their platform. Their imperatives were ‘fast, easy to use and image driven’.

Having tired of the clunky, complex solutions available for e-commerce such as Magento (with it’s million-and-one options to turn off that you neither need nor want), we resolved to design our own, manipulating our platform to build a clean, simple, easy to use shop from the ground up.

Our aim was to manage the experience from browsing product to purchasing as simply as possible, maximising conversions and encouraging repeat business. Summarily, managing products, shipping options, order status to browsing through product images and descriptions has never been easier.
