Our Featured Work
Wrriten by admin | Blog | 27 November 2009
As web designers we love creating websites (of course!) and we create a wide variety of sites for a wide variety of clients. This is what we love about web design, meeting different people from different walks of life doing different things. The web really does bring people together in that way. However it is always nice to get some recognition for the work you do.
Over the last year we are proud to have had 2 of the websites that we have produced for clients showcased on the web and recognised as good practice. There are many sites that showcase good design, good CSS and good code. The two sites that we have gained recognition on are cssmania.com and the WordPress Showcase.
We love using WordPress as a web publishing platform and therefore we were particularly delighted to gain recognition, when we created a WordPress theme for Education by creating a website for Carrigaline School in Ireland. They had found WordPress and understood that it could be a fantastic, low cost opportunity to create an economical, yet quality website for their new school. However they wanted someone to create a professional theme for them to use for their site. One that would appeal to their pupils as well as look good for parents and the local community.
Equal Design produced a theme for Carrigaline school that met all these criteria and more, and the finished site was showcased on the WordPress Showcase back in November 2008.
The other site on which we have gained recognition is a blog. Cliff Bashforth, an Image Consultant in the North West of England, and a member of the Colour Me Beautiful group already had a successful shop and online store, however felt there was an opportunity in to blog about the travels and things that he did in life in order to get in touch with clients a little more. As well as advice, Cliff asked Equal Design to produce a blog design that would fit in with the work that he does.
Cliff’s work revolved around colour and therefore we wanted to create a site that would reflect this. With the design that we finally used we felt that we had managed to mix a variety of colours in a way that worked without over powering the visitor. So much so that cliffbashforth.co.uk was recognised in cssmania.com as a good blog design. We are delighted to be showcased on such an important site in the web design community.
We strive to design the best sites on every site, however it is not always going to please everyone in the designs that we choose and of course what our clients want comes first. It is, however nice to gain some recognition from other members of the web design and development community and we look forward to achieving more success such as these 2 sites.
