supporting local communities

We’re great believers in local communities; that’s why we were really chuffed when the Greenhouse Community Project chose us to help with their new website and online communications.

The Greenhouse Community Project is intended to deliver three strands of community life to Sheringham; a new store, a food academy, and massive allotments for the whole town. We spent several sessions providing strategic consultancy and project planning before delivering a first-rate design concept.

Last week, we launched the new website amidst a flurry of press activity, planning applications, and council meetings. During the coming weeks, we’ll provide statistical analysis and feedback to the Greenhouse Community Project team; this will enable them to maximise PR campaigns and adjust to demand over time. We’ll also provide management for the website with fresh news, articles, and updates.

sign of the times?

Back in April of 2008, we announced we'd launched a brand new website for the Sheringham Skate Club.
Since then, we've been busy consulting with the Club - adding a blog & news system along with an e-newsletter facility to empower the Club Committee with rapid news publishing & distribution.

We've also been commissioned to produce a range of offline artwork, including:

• welcome and safety signage for the park facility
• posters and surveys
• letterheads and stationery

To find out more, why not visit www.sheringhamskate.co.uk or drop by the park to see our work in the flesh?

If you'd like us to help your business, organisation, or club, just call us on 0845 056 8392. We'll help push things forward.

going japanese

In mid-2008, we launched the critically acclaimed website for Elizabeth Saccente. We'd always discussed the option for penetrating the Japanese market, and started work in January.

Producing a complete translation of a website is complicated, and involved several months of work alongside a native-speaking Japanese copywriter. The process for translation included:

• complete navigation restructuring and addition of an embedded 'lingual switcher'
• page restructure and content changes
• image updates (text and context updates)
• technical code updates (to serve pages to Japanese-default operating systems)

It's a fantastic opportunity to work with other cultures, and one we were very proud to produce. Now we've relaunched the website, we're focusing on the Japanese search engine market - another set of challenges which we hope will be of great benefit to our client.

To see our work in action, visit www.elizabethsaccente.com/jp/ - if Japanese isn't your thing, use the lingual switcher to flick to English.
