This is a complete redesign and build of Sapience’s website. Carta has worked with Sapience since it was established in 2005 and produced their first website. The time came for a new look and new functionality for the website to meet with the expansion of the business. Continuing with the same strong branding and colours we set about making the site easier to read and navigate. We integrated the cartoon imagery that is used in Sapience’s advertising, to give a visual to each area of expertise that they provide to clients. WordPress has been used to allow an integrated blog and CMS for easy online updating.

Amalwhidden Farm Coarse Fishery has recently been reopened after extensive landscaping and restocking of new fish. The owners, Neil and Julia Hodder, wanted to promote the business via traditional printed material as well as online. We designed a DL sized folded leaflet to be used in advertising racks in local B&Bs, Hotels and Tourist information stands. We then moved on to the website. The requirements were to make it family friendly and welcoming. I also illustrated a map of the ponds and lake to show the features and fishing peg positions. The website is WordPress built so that it can be quickly and easily updated by the Julia and Neil from any PC with internet connection.

New website update for Beyond the Sea Gallery in Padstow. Taking elements from the previous design in terms of layout and branding, I completely reworked the website from the ground up. It now has a much more user-friendly e-commerce shop for both the viewing customer and client. The site will be evolving with new categories over the next few months to establish a varied stock of art and gifts.

An e-commerce website for the already successful shop based in Padstow, Cornwall. Susie Ray, owner, photographer and designer behind TPMC, came to Carta via a client referral (thanks Sarah at MYPA!). After meeting Susie to discuss the project and to get a good insight into her products, I drafted up a concept that pretty much hit the mark first time. The site is fully updatable by TPMC and orders are processed with PayPal.

Christian and Alice O’Reilly first spoke to me after seeing work that I had produced for Abbott & Ellwood and Poppy Treffry. They were needing to update their existing website with a version that could be easily updated by themselves. The ability to add and update both the gallery and blog section is made very easy with the WordPress CMS and a couple of neat plug-ins. The main web design priority was to show Christian’s furniture as big and cleanly as possible. I kept the layout very understated which reflects the high-end bespoke work. After all, it’s the furniture that viewers want to see, not an over designed flashy website.

ARLA Design is run by an old school friend of mine, Sam Flynn. It was time for ARLA’s website to have a revamp and Sam asked if I could help. Simplicty was the order of the day along with a CMS for easy of updating of future content. WordPress was used for the CMS platform which is a breeze for the client to use. Keeping the layout and navigation clean and simple allowed the photography to stand of the page doing it’s job of selling ARLA’s work. I used a clever little gallery code for the galleries of work that can be easily updated by ARLA.

Penzance based guidebook designers and publishers, Friendly Guides, were looking for their first website to promote and sell their Guidebooks. The style was inspired by the guides themselves. Simple, easy to read and lovely maps, illustrations and photography made me spoilt for choice for visuals. Each Guidebook has it’s own page to give an insight into each guide and the ability to view the whole guidebook via a ‘See Inside’ viewer. The guidebooks can be purchased through the site or via Amazon. PDF versions can also be bought and downloaded. This process is fully automated so no time is needed in fulfillment by the client. As the site needed to appeal to bookshops a trade order page was included. I also produced the logo identity, MailChimp e-pricelist and a printed pricelist.

Following on from the new brochure that we designed a few months ago, we’ve now completed a new website for Poppy. The brief was to bring more of Poppy’s creative designs, colours, sketches and materials into the design and have fun with the layout. Poppy and her team now have the ability to update the website content, through the WordPress CMS! We’ve just also created a duplicated version for trade customers only to order from.

Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, XES required a professional website to present their services to blue-chip companies throughout the UK. As with most websites the key is to have easy navigation and keeping a simple horizontal menu allows for quick viewing without frustration for the viewer. There is a simple, quick loading gallery makes for easy viewing. I maintain the website for XES.

Emma required a very clean and contemporary designed site that showcased her jewellery to the best effect. The website uses a simple shopping cart that uses a PayPal payment gateway. Emma also asked if I could photograph the jewellery for both the lifestyle and single item shots.
