It's all about the money

A few years ago now, we designed new, modern offline branding for Westscott Insurance Brokers, based in Dumfries. They then used this branding on their existing website. But as the business split into two parts – with a new, separate, financial services wing – when the time came to refresh the site, they came to us.

Today we've launched the first phase of the new site. It has a fresh design and will expand over time to include more and more information, along with company and industry news. The new site's insurance section has yet to launch; we're still working away on the content for that at the moment, so some old content is still in place.

As with many sites in this kind of sector, we're aiming to make sure they don't simply look like all the competitors – so brighter images, and bold and punchy text, are employed to make the site really stand out.

Quick steps to a new website

Reflexologist Jen Antliff approached fuzzylime with the challenge to convert the design for her reflexology business, Head to Feet, into a fully functional website as quickly as possible.

She was in luck, years in journalism have taught us well and tight deadlines are what we do! We managed to code, test and launch www.headtofeet.co.uk in less than 48 hours.

Head to feet specialises in reflexology treatments and products which literally treat you from head to feet. If you want to experience it for yourself or find out more, why not contact Jen.

Winning design

It's just a couple of days shy of our first birthday and we've had an early birthday present. Fife Council has awarded us a two-year contract to carry out some of their design work, both for the web and for offline projects and publications.

It draws on our range of experience and we're the only company chosen to work in both areas. We're really excited about working with the council and looking forward to a wee trip to the Kingdom of Fife.

All smiles

fuzzylime is happy to announce the launch of a website you can really get your teeth into - a refreshed look for Ireland & Yuill, a dental practice in Clarkston, on the south side of Glasgow.

We were involved in Ireland & Yuill's first web presence more than 10 years ago and were delighted to take on the new project which involved rebranding the practice with a new logo, business stationery and, of course, the website.

Have a look at www.ireland-yuill.co.uk and see what you think. And, if you're in the market for a friendly dentist in the south side then why not get in touch with Ireland & Yuill.

More details are now available in our portfolio.

Problem solved

We were approached by psychologist Murray Porteous to design an online presence for his renowned problem checklist, the Porteous Checklist, for troubled adolescents.

The challenge for fuzzylime was to take the well-used paper checklist and convert it for use online, while protecting the privacy of all users. We aimed to make the website as user-friendly as possible. The results can be viewed at www.porteouschecklist.co.uk.

The online version of the Porteous Checklist not only makes it much easier for adolescents to answer the questions but it also simplifies the process of assessment for teachers, counsellors, psychologists, social workers and other users.
