Edward Lloyd Trust

(This was posted 7 months, 2 weeks, 5 hours, 22 minutes's ago.)

The Edward Lloyd Trust are a charity based in Newcastle that supports people with learning disabilities.

Since 1988 they have been committed to providing lifelong care for people with learning disabilities through individual support and independent supported living houses throughout the North East of England.

Thinking Virtually was asked to create a website that would present the Trust as they are, professional, caring and supportive. We worked with Baseline Creative to develop the overall design and then refined the design so that it best fit the needs of the trust.

The site is built on ExpressionEngine and benefits from a simple zoom feature as well as full short-key support.

The site was built to be WCAG/DDA/W3C compliant as well as easy to use by the team.

We build a great number of websites but I have to be honest and say that this is one of my personal favorites. The team at Edward Lloyd Trust are really nice and the support and services they provide are great.

Take a look at their website and see if there is any way you too can get involved.

NRSB Website - Take a Look!

(This was posted 7 months, 2 weeks, 1 day, 5 hours, 12 minutes's ago.)

Earlier this year we sent the NRSB website live. The project was split between the design talents of Baseline Creative and the development skills of Thinking Virtually.

The brief from NRSB was that they wanted a website that they could administer, that was eye catching but that was something their people they support could use.

They gave us the BBC website as an example... they wanted different colour options, a zoom facility and a text only version of the site. It also had to be as compliant as it could be with W3C web standards and WCAG/DDA standards for accessibility.

The result is a website that in the main is fully compliant with web standards, that has great technical benefits such as the zoom, different colour options and the text only site – but more than this it is also eye catching, it draws the browser into the site to find out more and more and more.

We would like to thank Baseline Creative for giving us the opportunity to work on this project and NRSB for setting the standard for a really engaging website.

Thinking Virtually on the iPhone

(This was posted 7 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, 17 minutes's ago.)

Just because we had some time and I’m a geek we have developed a limited version of our site that is optimised for the iPhone.

Thinking Virtually iPhone means that you will soon be able to see our lovely site on your iPhone without having to zoom in and out!

Is it a gimic.... yes. Was it universally accepted/wanted in the office.... no. Most importantly though is what does your website look like to mobile browsers?

Beaumont Bookkeeping is #1

(This was posted 7 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours's ago.)

Beaumont Bookkeeping is #1 in Google in very quick time!

Beaumont Bookkeeping offer bookkeeping services in the Maldon area of Essex. The search phrase ‘Bookkeepers Maldon’ or ‘Maldon Bookkeepers’ was something that Beaumont really wanted to be found for.

The small website that we built for them (http://www.beaumont-bookkeeping.co.uk/) has now raced to the #1 position in Google for ‘Beaumont Bookkeeping’, ‘Maldon Bookkeepers’ and ‘Bookkeepers Maldon’.

For most businesses a website is essential, if for nothing else so that when somebody Google’s them they can be found – in this case the site also gets them found for something that could really help.
