2010
Despite the recession, we've never been busier. Perhaps people see the Internet as a way of continuing to market their business at an affordable rate, and therefore decided not to cut back in this area? Its been a busy year for new websites and redesigns.

We built a website for our local village. It has rapidly grown, and been very well receieved and supported. We welcome a new customer Private Office Group, involved in financial services. One of our oldest customers, Maltaward (civil engineering contractors), now has a brand new website - and there's also a new design for Pixie Doodle, one of our graphics designers. Earlier in the year, we built online shops for Pixie Doodle Gifts and Art Print Shopping.

We're currently working on websites for a local magazine, a building & loft conversions company in Oxfordshire, and an engineering company in East Sussex. Based on our order book for the coming months, it looks like 2011 is going to be a year for online shops.


2009

During 2009, we created a new website for the Society of Consulting Marine Engineers and Ship Surveyors and for Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group, who provide emotional and practical support for asylum seekers and immigration detainees. We also created sites for Pixie Doodle, design and graphic illustration and for Jason Mason, a driving instructor in Worthing. Adding to our charity portfolio, West Sussex Volunteering Network is a network of Volunteer Centres, working together for the local community. Another local business is Carters Gates, who are a long established company supplying garden gates and sheds in Sussex. Finally, we built a new shop for an existing client, providing quality art prints online at Art Print Shopping and a simple site for a portable appliance testing service available in Norfolk.


OCTOBER, 2009

Is your ISP (Internet Service Provider) as reliable and consistent as you want? And can you easily reach them without paying a fortune on premium rate support lines? Earlier this year, we switched to Zen Internet and rate this as one of our best decisions. To find out more about Zen, visit the Services area of our website.


FEBRUARY, 2009

Amazing!! Our Cancer Buddies Network website was mentioned on the BBC News Home Page! An article, published in the Health section, described two members buddying to help beat cancer. Website hits were huge and the site gained around 20 times the average new membership in a day. Although not on the BBC News Home page now, you can still read the cancer buddy story in the BBC News Health archives.


AUTUMN, 2008

We added a couple more sites to our website portfolio. Take a look at how we developed new sites for FOXY Choice and Holmes Estate Agents. In November, we also completed a website for FEMAS (Federation of European Maritme Associations of Surveyors and Consultants) and added some enhancements to the website of Crawley Council for Voluntary Service.

Three of our customers won awards in September. Steph and Paul Savill (FOXY Lady Drivers Club and FOXY Choice) have won a Home Business Couple of the Year award. Relocation Unlimited have been told they've won a Daily Mail Property Award for 2008. And Executive Relocation Plus have won Daily Mail Property Awards for the second year in a row! And finally, we completed a website for a graphics illustrator we've worked with and are happy to recommend. Please visit the site and look at the work of Jo Flattery and Pixie Doodle.


SPRING, 2008

A new website came online in May. Rocks and Ribbons is an enchanting collection of lariats, necklaces earrings and bracelets. Rare semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, silver charms, crystal beads and shell buttons are all personally selected by Caroline and pieced together by hand in her own individual way.

With design from Kingfisher Design and Print Services, Streets Ahead completed the next phase of website development for Grangers Fishing. Their website initially went live a year ago, just as their ‘bricks and mortar’ shop opened. Now their website shop has opened in April and www.grangersfishing.com/shop allows their customers to purchase online too.

New website has gone live for Maltaward Ltd. This site is specifically set up to promote vacant property protection, one of the services offered by Maltaward as a national, freephone service.

Together with design from Kingfisher Design and Print Services, and as part of a corporate rebranding, we completed the new website at the start of the year for Relocation Unlimited.

We also (finally!) found the time to build this new website for ourselves. Like everyone who's customer-facing, we kept putting it off so we could spend more time with our customers. At last, we found the time and here it is. We hope you like it.


2007

One of our customers, Executive Relocation Plus, has received awards in the Best UK Property Finder category of the Daily Mail 2007 Property Awards. They were judged overall winners for London and runners up for South East England. The new website for Crawley Council for Voluntary Service (CCVS) went live in October, launched on the same day as their AGM.
