CarDigger Search Engine
We are very excited to launch CarDigger, one of our most challenging projects to date. With large amounts of data to work with, speed was the focus in the backend and we have heavily optimised many aspects from database to the front-end. The goal was to create a simple search box which could give the users the power of google but targeted specifically at car deals.
CarDigger allows for you to search the UK online car market with great detail, and set alerts to let you know when new deals are found on the market.
PH7 Marketing and Boxlight Media partnership.
We have recently partnered up with PH7 Marketing to build a site around new visual search technology that has evolved into the largest database of cars in the UK. This joint venture will be launched in the next few weeks and will be in direct competition to the leading car retailers online.
Design & Search Engine Filters
When designing CarDigger we wanted to stick to a simplistic slick search engine much like Google. It is easy to add loads of shiny graphics but we needed to focus on the search functionality. Once we had our colour scheme and wireframes it was fun to get some graphics created.
It really all came together with nice gun metal boyish feel which can be found throughout the site. All designs where done in-house and the results are great.

HTML / CSS / Facebook Connect / Admin toolscloseFlexibility
This project was developed with flexibility in mind. From the way we built the layout to the way we remotely search the database it will require little effort to setup a new Event. Our client will require no further development and just minimal design change to re-skin this layout.
AJAX & Creating your wine list
The filters auto update the total count of wines before a search is made which gives the user instant feedback on their selection.
Created using quite a lot of AJAX and jQuery the user can make, save as pdf or print their wine list with a click of a button. The user experience is smooth and immediately updates their list which is always visible. Removing wines from their list, finding out more details on the producer or exhibitor is all done by the hidden details option.
Detailed Reporting
Most of our clients require reporting on clicks and searches to be able to understand their users and sell advertisements spots. We have an entire backend system which takes care of this and can be accessed by the client who can then download all details of every users activity.

Never going over the same stroke twice, British born Canada based artist Paul Ygartua continues to capture the immagination of collectors worldwide. A life of travel and art has produced some of the most versatile abstracts of our time.
After having lived in Australia and England, Tala recently decided to make Paris her new home and dedicate herself entirely to painting. Self taught, she is currently exploring several different styles. She is a young and promising artist whom we are pleased to have recently discovered.

Designing a portal that will be seen by all kinds of users requires research and user testing.
