Humanist touch

Humanist Society Scotland put out a tender for the redevelopment of their website last year and we are delighted that they awarded the project to fuzzylime.

The society wanted to completely revamp their existing site to make it much more modern, vibrant, inviting and interactive. It is an exciting time for humanism and the society wanted to reflect this in their internet presence.

As well as completely redesigning the site and making it more user-friendly and intuitive, the society also wanted to add more features to the site so many of the requirements of members could be met online.

This included custom coding a celebrant database and search facility so visitors wishing to book a ceremony could find the nearest celebrants.

fuzzylime also custom coded a members' database so the society could easily keep track of their growing membership.

The website also has a log in system and an e-commerce shop function.

Have a look and see what you think.

Developing and delivering

fuzzylime is not all about websites. We do offline design too - we just sometimes forget to tell you about it!

We have been working with the Scottish Council for Development and Industry to design and lay out their annual review.

The organisation has had a very busy year and there was a lot to cover in the review. It was important that the publication wasn't too text heavy and was attractive and inviting to readers.

We worked with SCDI's branding and colour scheme and made good use of the library of images to ensure the review was accessible and easy to read and digest.

The annual review is available online for members and visitors to download on the SCDI website.

Political challenge

Mark Griffin MSP approached fuzzylime after seeing a website we had designed for one of his fellow MSPs.

Mark's team was keen that the website was bright and vibrant and that it showed people in the area what Mark was doing on their behalf.

It also had to have clear contact details so people could get in touch with Mark and links to social media.

The team was always very impressed with the simplicity of the content management system as it makes regularly updating the website much less of a chore.

We were delighted to launch the website this morning. Have a look and see what you think.

Absolutely fabulous

Wendy and Eleanor approached fuzzylime to help them create their vision of Fabulous Black. They envisaged an upmarket dynamic brand for women encompassing the ubiquitous black of their and many women's wardrobes.

Everything - including the website - had to be fabulous and had to be black (or complement black).

As the website would be the showcase for the brand they wanted to ensure they had the right team in place as early as possible to bring the vision to life.

Wendy and Eleanor are very particular about the quality of the products they have developed and this quality and attention to detail also had to be reflected in the design of the website and the ease of use for visitors.

We incorporated our fuzzylime shopping software to ensure customers and visitors have an enjoyable and hassle-free shopping experience. Fabulous Black are offering a small range of products - including jewellery, scarves and candles - but the site is built to accommodate the planned expansion.

A lasting relationship

We were approached by Relate Lincolnshire, a branch of the national counselling charity Relate, to revamp their website.

The old site was a bit plain and outdated and we were asked to come up with a bright new look for the site.

Relate nationally has a series of branding guidelines and a developed colour palette so we worked within these to produce a local site that was bright and inviting.

It uses parts of the corporate Relate look while expanding it to fit in with what the Lincolnshire service provides specifically.

We also developed a Google Map system to show the locations of Relate centres across the area, along with opening hours.

We reckon the site is now colourful and invites visitors to explore and find out about all the services offered.
