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?
