Noni B

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Noni B is one of Australia’s leading womens’ fashion retailers, however their website didn’t match the glossy and stylish look of their print brochures and retail stores.

However, in only 6 weeks we designed, built and launched a new elegant website which showcased their clothing collection. We chose a classic and simple style & layout which helped emphasise the website’s great photography. A number of interactive Flash elements were created to help users view the clothing collection and an accompanying Email newsletter template was created for email marketing.

The client is still extremely pleased with the result, and the website has successfully been updated across a number of seasons since its launch late 2008.

Andy worked on this website while he was part of the team at Solutions Outsourced.

Barnabas Network

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

The Barnabas Network is a website aimed at helping and encouraging church Minister and pastors. Started by Mike, a retired Baptist Minister who wanted to share his knowledge and experience with other Ministers and any other “fellow travellers”, to help and encourage people through their life and ministries.

When creating the logo, Mike wanted to use the image of a lighthouse in reference to Jesus’ command of his followers being like “lights on a hill”. From there the website developed a nautical theme which was continued through out the rest of the site. There were 3 main types of website users identified, and we wanted to help these 3 different groups of people quickly access the specific section of the website that would interest them. To achieve this we designed 3 large button areas at the top of the homepage with different images to represent the kind of content they would find in that section. Once the website was launched several users indicated how easy the website was to navigate and browse the vast libraries of content.

This was a fun logo and website to create, and Mike and his wife Bev were a pleasure to design for. You can visit the Barnabas Network website here.
