Vivo
Written on 15-May-2009 | Latest Projects | No Comments
The Vivo telecommunications website is another great design from the people at RAWWW, my role in this project was to provide the HTML templates and PHP forms so the people RAWWW could put together the site structure. This project had a very tight deadline, the website designs needed to be sliced, coded, then have content added within a few days, which was successfully done.

Mellow Bird’s

Mellow Bird’s are re-launching their coffee brand, and so have approached Docdata to design and develop their eBay shop. The eBay shop includes a video of the new Mellow Bird’s advert on the home page, with a list of all their merchandise underneath. As well as selling Mellow Bird’s merchandise, the site also includes links to other social network sites such as Twitter, and Facebook, so customers and fans of Mellow Bird’s coffee can interact and keep up to date with the latest Mellow Bird’s news.
This was a first for me, developing a custom eBay shop, but found the documentation very easy to follow, and tags very easy to remember, so it wasn’t too difficult to build, though I have found there are limitations on what code you can use.

The Batter Company

Finally the batter company website goes live! This quirky little website (pictured below) was designed by Coventry based design agency RAWWW and has been converted from a flat HTML website, to the official blog site of the batter company based in Nuneaton, so customers can keep up to date on the latest offers and news. The site uses Wordpress for its CMS, for its ease of use and SEO qualities. The site is also a central point for its social networking tools including Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, where people can interact with the company and each other.

Commission for youth social enterprise website goes live
Written on 20-Feb-2009 | Latest Projects | No Comments
At the beginning of February I was approached by RAWWW (www.rawww.com) to build a website they had designed for the Commission for Youth Social Enterprise using Wordpress for the cms. After spending the last 2 years using ExpressionEngine I thought it would be a nice change to try out a new CMS, and the design is fantastic. Clean, bright and clear (as you can see from the screen shot below).
Within the first week of using Wordpress I had managed to learn and implement themes, theme creation, template tags, plug-in’s and the admin area, it’s ridicules how easy it is to customize and manage a website using Wordpress. if I had known how easy it was to use I would have started using it from day 1, don’t get me wrong ExpressionEngine is far superior, but for a lot of websites, it’s a bit overkill and it’s not free.
Anyway… the site took roughly 2 weeks to build (which is not bad for my first Wordpress website), and pretty much everything is content managed (including the header images). I will defiantly be using Wordpress from now on after this expreience. You can see the live website at www.yse.org.uk.
