Hi There!

So, you can see the website, you can see some of our work and you can read our blogs, unfortunately our biggest problem so far is finding the time to spend on our own website! We have been inundated with project requests, negotiations, project scoping, wire-framing, designing and building.

First of all, as this is my first post it would probably be best if I introduce myself, my name is Gavin and I am Evisua’s Creative Director. Its has been 10 years since I wrote my first tag, doesn’t time fly!

So, what is going on at Evisua? well after all, we are a recent start up. We have been officially trading now for 2 and a half months, however our main product (The Evisua Kit) has been in development for the best part of 2 years. Just to bring you up to speed, the Kit is a fully featured social networking platform that can be tailored to any use, subject or interest. Our main example at the moment is over at UGame , so check it out if you want to see the power of the platform.

Our past work might be a little specific in subject (gaming) but this is because of the background both Sam and I originated. Heavily into gaming and spent a lot of time focusing on this subject. However now that we are officially a web design studio we are spreading our wings.

We have a great deal of work on at the moment, our main project is with a company called Brave New Talent, they have commissioned us to create a new website that will connect recent graduates and possible employers, offering the graduates a great chance at finding the kind of career they have been training for and for employers to have a very impressive talent pool to choose from when looking for new employee’s. This is a massive project for us and will keep us busy for a few months and beyond.

Another of our recent additions is The Filter, this is the creation of music legend and digital pioneer Peter Gabriel (Genesis), we are working with them to help them deliver their B2B (Business to Business) website.

Finally we have a local London company called iPlatform, they focus heavily on integrating your brand with social networking platforms so you can get the most of what social media has to offer. So we are working with them to help design and develop some rather funky Facebook integrated applications.

We also have a few other small bits and bobs we are working on including some of our own properties such as new versions of UGame and Fnatic, so with all this work you can see just how busy we are, not bad for a new but experienced studio eh?!

One thing I think would be wrong of me to ignore is the fact we had our official company launch party last weekend (Friday Aug 14th). Suffice to say it was a huge success, turning in almost 200 people at Adam Street private members club for a well earned free bar, good times and of course the main attraction – lube wrestling! – before I show any of the photos I would firstly like to say thank you to all those who came and especially those who were game enough to compete!

For now, take care and look forward to my next post!
