RJ Gibb

RJ is a talented actor and musician who required an edgy, sharp site that could be maintained client-side 24-7. The site is a work of art, with a slightly dark, sinister look and feel, which is what the brief required.

This site is one of our favourite projects and we are very proud. Take a look and see what you think.

DGM Property Maintenance

Martin Tilbury runs a successful property maintenance company in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and he was looking to give his Yell.com web presence a fresh look and reduce his monthly costs at the same time.

Ocelot Solutions managed to tick all the boxes Martin required. The site was designed from the ground up, with custom colour schemes, images, content and navigation layouts.

The result is a sleek, stylish site that will give DGM the springboard to achieve bigger things and a better online presence.

GS Photos Live

GS Photos are a successful photography company who provide wedding and exhibition photography services as well as running a busy shop in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. The owner, Greg Stockdale, required an extension to GS Photos services that allowed clients to upload photos to a web site and order any number of prints for online payment, collection or delivery.

This was a very challenging project and is by far the most complex of sites we have completed to date. The site combines several technologies and techniques, but works very well and has been well-received by GS Photos clients.

Dwina Murphy-Gibb

Dwina is a prolific writer, poet and artist, who required a platform to showcase her work. Being of Irish origin, Dwina required a suitably Celtic look and feel to the site.

The result is a clean, simple site that will give Dwina the online exposure that her work richly deserves.

Robinson

Robinson is an upcoming singer-songwriter who, in the spring of 2009, was signed by Palawan Productions.

Palawan felt that Robinson had a loveable 'gypsy' aura and wanted a site that reflected this. Working with material supplied by an independent graphic designer, the result incorporates biography and gig information, new flash photo galleries as well as audio samples.

We love this site and feel that it is one of our best to date.

Sue Chester

Sue is a professional freelance journalist currently working in Rio de Janeiro.  She required a simple, original web-site design with content that reflects her career to date.  Sue provided very specific design constraints and had a clear vision of exactly how she required the finished site to look.

Working with feedback from our design team about how certain elements needed to be amended to allow for display within different web browsers, the resulting site is a quirky yet clean, interesting design that allows for future expansion without any redesign work.

Haydon Home Improvements

Steve McNeill, proprietor of Haydon Home Improvements required a web design that would give the company their first taste of a web presence.  For this reason, it was very important to reflect all the different areas within which the company are specialists in.  The design was left entirely to Ocelot Solutions, with many of the images being sourced and supplied by our studio.

Steve was very happy with the resulting site, and decided that it warranted more content.  The second iteration of the site included downloadable pdf versions of flyers that were created as a result of the initial design.  This led to two more sections being added, which our design studio find is a frequent requirement.

The site now gives detailed descriptions on each of the areas of the company, as well as a frequently asked questions section and a contact us form.

Dadbrook Gallery, Alan Halliday Art and Qu Lei Lei Art

Clico Kingsbury, owner of the Dadbrook art gallery in Buckinghamshire required an updated web site that she could use to announce exhibitions, gallery news, reviews and new work from her portfolio of artists.

Clico wanted very simple design concepts using colour schemes already used by elements of the original site.  Following initial design and approval, Clico also requested that sister-sites for two of her artists, Alan Halliday and Qu Lei Lei, were built.  The brief was that the two additional sites should be designed in exactly the same style as the first, with the exception of images and colour schemes.  The result is a wealth of information available, and regularly updated to reflect the dynamic nature of the gallery.

Site design and implementation: Approx. 10 days for all three sites.

Palawan Productions

Palawan Productions were looking for a web presence where they could showcase their clients and their clients work as they were a relatively new independent record label.  They already had a very specific design which was not only original, but rebelliously broke several rules of web-design.  The result is a fresh, unique site that does exactly what it says on the tin.  Have a look and see what we mean …

Cybertherm Heating

Oxfordshire-based firm Cybertherm were looking for a design studio to make substantial changes and additions to their existing website, which had a high degree of flash content.

They also required a new tabbed look which mimicked the then-new Internet Explorer 7 tabs.

As none of the original flash source was available, much of the work was to replicate an existing design, as well as adding new sections.

The site went live in early 2007 and is one of the most colourful and original designs that Ocelot have worked on to date.

Site design amendments and implementation: Approx. 4 days.

My Spanish Hideaway

A private client was looking to showcase their spanish property, its location, nearby facilities and the climate.

Whilst we were careful not to stereotype the look and feel of the site, the design was a bright, inviting style which has brought in lots of new rental business since it went live in 2007.

Catherine Green Councelling

A private client was looking to give their new counselling and well-being business a web presence.

It was required that the look and feel of the site was calming, with a specific colour scheme ordered by the client. The carefully-selected colours refer to specific elements of the business and Catherine's site has been live since early 2007.
