DVisions Web Design and Development - Sample Projects
Below is a portfolio containing some sample web site development projects that we have designed and launched over the last couple of years.
|
Web Site Design Portfolio - Andys Guitar Net
 Andys Guitar Net is a unique online business that provides a marketplace for musicians to buy and sell secondhand guitars (and other instruments), amplifiers, and accessories online.
In a major departure from conventional listing or auction sites where the buyer can never be absolutely confident that they will receive what they think they are buying, Andys Guitar Net authenticates and services every item sold before delivery to the buyer, and even better supplies a guarantee to go with it.
It is free to list items on the site. Andys Guitar Net operates on an "agency consignment" basis (a concept that was pioneered by the original, and now closed, Andys Guitar Shop in Denmark Street), with fees only paid upon successful completion of the sale.
The site development required the customisation of a Classified component to handle the online registration and submission of sale items, and for the Andys Guitar Net team to manage the portfolio of items for sale. Also included in the site is a forum, and a full e-commerce store is planned to launch early in 2008.
We will be providing full technical support for the site, deploying additional functionality as the site evolves, and we are also providing a complete marketing support package including SEO, paid search and e-PR.

Web Site Design Portfolio - Critical Software
 Critical Software SA has been ranked at #4 in the Business Week Top 500 Fastest Growing Companies list for the last two years, and specialises in providing a range of software services for business and mission critical components of systems used in the Defence, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Finance, Government, Industrial and Transportation markets.
The brief called for two different websites sharing a common theme, one for Critical's UK subsidiary, and one for the parent company in Portugal.
The fact that Critical are growing so quickly and are rapidly launching new products and services into new markate sectors meant that a content managed site that matched the sophisticated design ethos of the company was essential. The UK company focuses on a smaller range of products and markets, and consequently has a simpler design and implementation based on the same base design of its parent.
The final design is unusual for a corporate content managed site, with multi-column layouts and incorporating both Flash "Carousel" type navigation and JavaScript based rollover images. The result is a clean and sophisticated design.
As with most of our web design projects, the project also calls for SEO of both sites.

Emmaus Hampshire
Emmaus Hampshire was formed as an independent charity and company
limited by guarantee in 1998 with the vision of establishing an Emmaus
Community in Hampshire. The Community will house 23 previously homeless
people at any one time and will be managed in accordance with the
principles of the Emmaus Movement.
The overall aim is to construct an Emmaus Community in Hampshire
that is welcoming, inspirational and educational to both Companions and
the local community alike. It is important to provide Companions with
an environment where they can thrive both personally and prfoessionally
and also to provide people in Hampshire with an invaluable resource - a
place where they can come to donate and buy quality second-hand goods;
a place to chat with friends and Companions over a cup of coffee; a
place to learn more about environmentally-friendly living ... and a
place where they can really feel that they are making a difference!
The Emmaus Hampshire team has been fundraising for just under two
years in order to raise the funds not only necessary to build the
Community but also to cover start-up costs until such time that its
business operation of re-use and refurbishment of second hand furniture
self-finances the Community.
The website will form an important part of raising the profile of the charity, helping it communicate with stakeholders and fundraisers.

Web Site Design Portfolio - European Law Monitor
 European Law Monitor is a not-for-profit online service providing information on EU legislation, policies and procedures. In addition to generalised free information services, European Law Monitor undertakes fee based legal research and consultancy.
European Law Monitor is also the Europe Direct Relay for Hampshire, and in this role run local conferneces and seminars which require the creation of additional micro-sites and event sites.
We were involved with European Law Monitor from its inception - we helped develop the initial business and funding plans, prepared the original site specification, and project managed the build of the first site (built by JK Internet in Newbury). The service was origianally envisaged with a commercial subscription and research funding model, but new opportunities for grant and government funding provided by the new Community Interest class of company (CIC) changed that.
ELM was converted to a CIC part funded as a Europe Direct by the European Commission. The information services subsequently became free access, and a new site with a different specification was required. This was developed by us. The site includes several major add-ons, such as a forum, events calendar, RSS feeds, and advertising management.
We provide a full range of support services for the site: technical support, SEO, paid search management, and content management.

Web Site Design Portfolio - Vehicle Electrics Online
 Vehicle Electrics Online is a leading supplier of vehicle engine electrical components, mainly starter motors, alternators, and ignition components.
The design brief for the site was essentially "purple, and try and keep it simple and not too cluttered". With a range spanning some 13,000 variants, in five major product groups, this was not quite as easy as it sounds!
Some interesting features of this project included the need to find a way of drawing product information from the client's product database, and merging it in a compatible format with the site database, and develop a procedure that allowed the client to continue to keep product data, prices, and stock up to date.
As VEO export around the world, multi-carrier and multi rate shiiping also had to be built into the shopping cart, together with much customisation of the cart interface to ensure that customers were able to ensure they were selecting the right part for their vehicle.
As well as designing and building the site, we provide full ongoing technical support, and ongoing SEO and search marketing for the site.

Web Site Design Portfolio - Wavelength Designs

Wavelength caters for a specilaist niche market, and is well known in the field, consequently the site does not need extensive SEO, but it is important to be visible for the company name and its core services. After the initial optimisation, this was achieved.
To ensure this position is maintained Wavelength is signed up to our SEO WATCH Service .
