The challenge was to take an established North East Kitchen company online. This would enable them to enter new markets whilst staying true to their core business of creating high quality, innovative kitchens.
From researching the market we decided to create a new brand that would be better suited, and more attractive to an online market. We developed a catchy, memorable name with a stylish modern logo and branding.
The website design provides a clean, clutter free platform to feature their kitchens and enable users to buy online. The website is fully scalable, enabling admin to update page content, products and manage deliveries.
Search engine optimisation has been built in from the outset and we're now working hard to ensure the website reaches the top of the search engines.
The client had been using advertising without any real impact as the brand looked tired and the ads were not selling to the audience.
We created a more modern brand with a very sleek contemporary feel to relate to the target market who are looking for contemporary sleek kitchens. We then used strong imagery to show the style and colours of the kitchens to really give the ads impact. We kept the typeface modern and clean too so the whole experience to the viewer is of a modern and stylish product from a modern and stylish company.

TD Clothing is an innovative textile recycler and exporter, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which offers cash incentives for customers to recycle their unwanted clothes and textiles.
Requirement and scope
The www.tdclothing.co.uk website is to inform the public about the two main schemes for recycling clothing: enviroclothes and recycle2fundraise. The enviroclothes scheme offers clothes collections from people's homes. Members of the public can request a collection through the website, and on the requested date the collection is scheduled, and cash is paid for the clothing collected. The recycle2fundraise scheme is for schools and other groups. The schoolchildren or group members contribute clothing so that the group can raise funds.
In the enviroclothes scheme a customer enters the postcode where they require a collection and the system identifies appropriate collection timeslots in the immediate two-week period. The customer can then pick the most convenient collection slot and provide details for the collection. Customers become registered during their first collection request but on subsequent collection requests, when the customer logs in, their stored details are retrieved to provide a streamlined booking process.
Behind the scenes, system administrators maintain the calendar and catalogue of postcodes from which collections can be made. The collection schedule for each postcode is entirely configurable to support business growth.
The system provides the collection schedule for the individual timeslots sorted in appropriate order for the van driver.
Full historical details of receipts are maintained in the system for each customer.
Comprehensive reporting functionality has been developed to meet the needs of TD Clothing. From financial data to customer profiles, custom reports allow the company to tailor marketing strategies and monitor growth/opportunities.
