We developed a solution that not only allowed for sales to be made with ease but also upgraded the brand image with the use of a new colour palette. The new palette of Black, Gold & Pink gives a luxury, VIP feel to the brand reenforcing that Gemini provide a luxury service at a very special price.

The website uses the latest in web technology and features customised animation to display (and hide) promotion information. As Gemini promote their services through word of mouth we also focused on providing elegant print stylesheets, allowing users to print the webpage and post the promotion in their place of work.

As well as promoting the brand online, we also provided Gemini with flyers to be used on mail-shot campaigns and to be distributed on the high street.

Since it’s launch in 2000 Ormeau has attracted a dynamic tenant base of innovative businesses working both in the local and international market place. Unfortunately Ormeau’s website did not reflect the park’s ethos and Sugar Rush were drafted in to rejuvenate their image.

We designed an eye-catching and engaging user interface that takes essential information, which can often be lifeless & tedious to read, and displayed it in such a way that lures the user in and grabs their attention. A key example of this is the unit plan which takes monotonous content such as office dimensions and adds interactivity by encouraging the user to explore the map to find out more about each unit.

On the homepage we have focused on fast tracking the user to the content that they want. By identifying the key areas of interest, users can find what they are looking for much quicker and with ease.

The website itself uses cutting edge development technology, from emerging HTML5 & CSS3 techniques for structure and styling to JQuery for animation and interactivity. Behind the scenes we have included content management software to allow easy maintenance of events and other content, as well as providing an expandable platform to allow blogging to be integrated in the near future.

We designed an elegant 5 star look and feel layout, making sure functionality was never compromised. The website is heavily optimized directing high search engine traffic, which will generate online bookings throughout the year.

Not only did we design, we also took charge of photography. We have equipment that enables our photographer to shoot 360 degree photography in any location, Interior or Exterior. We converted the files, ready for an online movie. Our 360 degree photography has been a very successful marketing tool when selling property/accommodation, giving the best visual experience for the user.

Sugar Rush Creative is responsible for the Website Design, Graphic Design, Corporate Branding, creating a high end logo design & Photography (360 degree & Still images).

We will have special printing deals on a regular basis, so be sure to look up the website as often as you can. We felt at the current climate we need to offer affordable print! It goes without saying that we know of a great place were you can source design if needed.

Between the client and ourselves, we understood and mapped out the right functionality for the website, collecting inspiration from their member’s perspective. The creation of this new Shinty website, will also attract bigger advertising revenue for Camanachd Association which in turn will be injected back into the sport at every level. The Shinty office can access the admin system and instantly update scores, referees, naming goal scorers, announcing postponements, etc.. keeping everyone informed.

Along with the website we had been given the opportunity to re-brand the Shinty sport. This was not just only an honour, but a massive boost to the Sugar Rush profile that we could be entrusted to deliver that. Our track record has always convinced clients that we are the right design company to provide effective branding.

Sugar Rush Creative is now contracted to the Shinty website providing maintenance support and supplying a high level of creative design. We will be in regular contact with the Shinty office, drafting new concepts, which will help promote and market the sport successfully.

Sugar Rush Creative knew how competitive their industry is, especially where the hotel is located. We needed to understand the market place and had the experience to design, layout and develop the website to it’s success. The Homecliffe website had to appeal to prospective customers and create a buzz within the existing client base. We concentrated on promoting their luxury accommodation, highlighting the most important areas of information. It was critical that information would run seamlessly with the Web technology built.

The website design is the forefront of online marketing for the hotel and should ultimately bring in major revenue. To secure this, we needed to focus on optimizing the website to it’s highest potential. We researched relating keywords and key phrases which will help direct high volume of traffic to the website. We also implemented other key techniques of website optimization to help make every opportunity for the hotel to be found on all search engines.

It was a pleasure to work with the Homecliffe Hotel team and we wish all the success in the future and Sugar Rush Creative will always be there to support.

We produced an NTF logo design and website design last year and they felt it necessary to maintain the future look and feel of the organisation by involving Sugar Rush on a retainers position. Our roll is to support, provide and execute all design keeping existing layouts and pushing forward thinking concepts. This will allow NTF to carry on with their core business and also help keep the visual appeal of the organisation through various medias.

NTF attracts large corporate funding as well as providing funding for younger people through their various programmes. It is critical that NTF use all available technologies and promotional tools to advertise, securing sustainable revenue for the organisation and keeping the younger audience up-to-date with NTF programmes in their area.

We absolutely love working with NTF on a regular basis and look forward to creating more forward thinking ideas.

Thanks to the emergence and popularity of devices such as the iPhone / iPod Touch, Blackberry, Nexus One and Palm Pre developers must now take mobile browsing into consideration when creating a design.

Long gone are the days of snail speed mobile connections and text only websites, the inclusion of 3G and wireless connectivity on mobile devices mean that the web can be used on the move like never before. Couple this with advancements in mobile browser technology and it means that most websites can now be rendered on the majority of handheld devices.

Designing For The Small Screen

Despite this new technology it is advantageous to deliver a “Mobile-only” version of your website as the web is optimised for larger computer monitors rather than a small screened device such as an iPhone. Take Web Designer Depot, a blog I frequently visit, for example…

As you can see above their design renders correctly on a mobile device however as it is optimised for a larger screen the content is hard to read. Providing a mobile version of their website gives the user the same information however it is laid out in a more readable fashion.

This approach is not only more pleasant on the eye but is also more user friendly. For instance, while browsing the web on a computer your means of navigation is a mouse, allowing intricate movements across the screen. In the touch screen environment many mobile devices use today, navigation is controlled by a finger, a much more clumsy and inaccurate tool.

I’m sure like me you have been browsing the web on your phone but no matter how many times you try, clicking the link you desire proves troublesome and in the end, you get fed up and close the site. Providing a mobile version of your site can compensate for this by creating an interface with mobile users in mind. Small, awkward links can be replaced with easy to use, functional buttons allowing for better usability making it quicker and more simple for the user to find what they are looking for.

Why Do I Need A Mobile Site?

The common argument that I am hearing against mobile optimized websites is; “I don’t need a mobile website, most of our clients/customers don’t have flashy phones like yours and rarely browse the internet on them!”

Really? Are you sure?? In December 2009 O2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and 3UK reported a monthly usage of 15.9 million mobile internet users in the United Kingdom. These users totaled 4792 million minutes online in December alone and figures show that this is set to grow in 2010, making mobile browsing more relevant today than ever before.
