Original Spirit Design

When Julie approached me from Qualitative Quarter she felt it was time for a rebrand and wanted to break out more into the market place. Qualitative Quarter already has some well known clients like Microsoft, Proctor and Gamble, Ellerines and many others. So Julie wanted to keep her corporate clients but also open her doors to the more creative types that wanted a space to brainstorm and have focus groups in a relaxing, fun environment.

With this in mind I began the process…

Recently I’ve had many requests for splash pages on websites which got me thinking…

Why do people need to be told to enter a website? Splash pages used to be a big thing a while back but seem to have been phased out as they don’t do very much for your website. However many people believe that it’s important to have your logo spread across the screen or an intro animation which describes your company. Some may give you the option to choose between viewing the site in flash or html but others are purely there just waiting for you to bypass them.

This blog post is long overdue, but happy new year to all my clients and readers and all the best for 2010. 2009 was a very busy year where I worked in various industries (some of them being fashion, photography, art, research, retail, solutions, production, consulting) helping my clients develop web strategies and design campaigns to increase their brand awareness. Some clients approached me with full rebranding requirements, (I will publish those success stories very soon) one of those clients was Qualitative Quarter and the site has been nomintated for best website of 2009. Another one of my sites which has already received many web awards has also been nominated for best website of 2009.
