Just recently we launched a small website for a company specialising in tailor-made African travel itineraries, named Perfect Travels.
We started off with the logo design, which then set the tone for the design for the website.
In the last few weeks we have been very busy working on a website and mobi site for Prime Meridian Direct – a well established financial services group, mainly providing affordable insurance cover to South Africans.
Both the website and mobi site features a form where you can get an “Instant Online Price”, for any one of Prime Meridian’s insurance products. Once you have filled the fields in and have selected the type of cover required, the website calculates an estimated price for your monthly premiums, all depending on the type of information you have specified.
We also linked the sites to Prime Meridian’s lead generation system by means of an API integration. Any leads or online price requests generated from either of the sites, are then filtered through to Prime Meridian’s leads database.

Currently Remington SA is running a competition across South Africa, in search of the perfect “Mystery Girl”.
We were given the pleasure of designing and building the Remington SA website and mobi site in conjunction with the “Mystery Girl” competition.
We were also commissioned to build and integrate the competition entry form into the Remington SA Facebook Page.
Below, you can see some screenshots taken from the website, mobi site & Facebook Page.
Who knows ladies, after seeing the designs and the prizes offered, you may even think about entering the competition yourself?

Finally, it seems as though the design of your website will count for a little more now in Google’s search results.
Just this morning, I was doing a search on Google South Africa, and noticed that if I hovered over each of the web results, that Google would display a screenshot of the web page in question, within the search results. This has not quite yet been rolled out to everyone, however, I suspect that it might be.
This feature is a part of Google Instant, and as always, has been aimed at creating the easiest, fastest and most accurate searching experience for Googlers – much like flipping through a magazine.
With this in mind, the design of your website now plays a bigger role in terms of whether a user will click on your web listing or not. Not only can a user read the snippet of info displayed under your website listing, but they can now see what your website looks like, before visiting it.
Before this, website design only played a role once people actually visited your website, this is not the case anymore.
If your website has an outdated design, the chances of your website being visited by potential clients are compromised. Obviously, if your website design is top notch, then you can look forward to increased traffic.
So, best you review your website design before you start losing out on potential traffic!
The internet has only really been around for most people for less than 20 years, yet its impact on the world has been immense. What follows are five ways the internet has changed the world.
Communication
Remember the days when you had to pick up a piece of paper and a pen in order to write to someone? And then you would have to go through the process of putting the letter in an envelope, stamping it and taking it to a post office to send. All this, and the card you sent for Christmas would invariably arrive sometime around Easter…
The funny thing about the “business” of design, is that design only seems to play a small part. I got into design because I really enjoy it. If I had my way I would sit behind my mac, iPod playing in my ears, have photoshop open and design, design, design the whole day away. But, as with many things in life, it is just not that simple. You end up being inundated with meetings, bills, IT issues, more meetings, emails, paperwork, staff issues, quotes, meetings, revised quotes, bills, emails, network issues, emails, and more emails… you get the point right?
