Reading Green Business Network

rgbn

Client: Reading Borough Council for Designation/Article10Design (2009-2010)

Details: Designation worked with Kyocera to support Reading Borough Council in setting up a website to support the activities of the Reading Green Business Network. I worked with the Kyocera marketing team (who manage/host the site) on the brand and the theme for the Drupal CMS that runs the site.

Update: this site was recently upgraded from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6.

“John has been excellent from beginning to end of the projects he ran with us. Taking our rather loose briefs and turning them in to outstanding end products. He has created 2 themes for websites we have run on Drupal, he managed the project from beginning to end within budget and has been on hand for any queries, questions etc afterwards. All round excellent work and service.”
Rob Attryde, Marketing Communications Manager, Kyocera MITA UK

Norwegian Log: Building with nature’s best

norlog

Client: Norwegian Log Buildings for Designation (2005-2009)

Details: The Norwegian Log website showcases the log buildings of various kinds they offer with lots of supporting material and case studies. The site is a CMS with is managed for the client as they are far too busy looking after the dozens of filtered prospects that contact them through the site every month (each one potentially a six figure sale).

I worked with the client to produce the site architecture and wireframes, and then oversaw the design and developed the site myself.

Chestnut Tree House Hospice: Chestnut’s Challenge

Client: Chestnut Tree House for Designation (2009)

Details: Designation had been working with St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree House Hospices for a number of years running their main websites. The team at Chestnut Tree House came up with a new campaign idea to help raise much needed funds with the help of children either in or connected to the hospice. These Challengers have set themselves the task of promoting the work of the hospice and they are an example to us all. The supporting website (www.chestnutschallenge.org.uk) was put together to help the hospice gain new supporters willing to take the challenge and to allow existing supporters to leave messages of support for the children. I worked for the marketing team at Chestnut Tree House to produce, design and build this site and the supporting campaign site (Take The Challenge, Pass It On).

“John always replies promptly to requests, is good at solving problems and coming up with solutions. He explains things clearly and completes work on time and within budget – a pleasure to work with!”
Janet Parsons, Communications Manager, St Barnabas House and Chestnut Tree House Hospices

Scienceworks: A woman of outstanding achievement

Client: Averil Macdonald for Designation (2007-2009)

Details: Averil has been a client of Designation for a number of years usually working as a project manager on a education based project either in print or online. She needed a site to showcase her work over the years and help promote the fact that she ‘Woman of Outstanding Achievement 2007′. I worked as consultant and developer on this website which is designed to reflect her personality and to allow individual sections to be promoted seperately dependant on the audience she is talking to.

Performance Unlimited: High performance enabled

pu

Client: Performance Unlimited for Designation (2004-2010)

Details: Now onto my 6th marketing contact at Performance Unlimited (a company that is continually evolving) I’ve been involved in a number of programmes and projects with them over the years. At the peak I managed a programme of over 10 projects covering both online and offline delivery of the brand we’d just created for them. These included a new CMS website, domain name strategy, pay-per-click (PPC) marketing and newsletter.

“John was a fabulous supplier and provided much more than consultancy and advice, he was a true partner and guided the business through rebranding and marketing with precision, great follow through, solid delivery on project plans and the result we were looking for. Along with all of that he is a professional and thoroughly decent chap and I’d certainly recommend his work.”
Cheryl White, Performance Unlimited
