  • Collaboration with Alex Smailes

    Fashion photography by Alex Smailes for Meiling

     

    Alex Smailes is a world class photographer.  He started out specialising in coverage of conflicts and social issues, with clients such as Oxfam and Benetton.  He has moved into fashion and commercial photography, and has also published a book on the island of Trinidad where he has established a successful design studio.

    We are delighted to be collaborating with Alex on the pilot project for our Portfolio Builder.  We will be working to create a content managed portfolio site to showcase his work.  Our approach will be generic, resulting in software that can then be used by other photographers to generate their own sites.  Collaborating with real-world experts in this way helps us build quality into our products.  Alex’s invaluable experience in both the field and the studio will help us design a Portfolio Builder that is intuitive with functionality that photographers and artists really need.

  • IFAW

    The International Fund for Animal Welfare employed us as technology consultants to review their  fragmented web presence and technical processes.

    We worked with their anti-whaling team to review their website www.stopwhalingnow.com and general workflow for managing their website and support processes.  Their website was almost completely built in images, making it practically impossible to be indexed by search engines.

    We published our findings and recommendations which were taken up accordingly.  Their website is now content managed and fully indexed.

  • Orange

    Orange’s New Media and mCommerce department needed a brand that reflected their position leading the way forward for the business with mobile and lifestyle services.

    We worked with them to design a look and feel and intranet site that was inspirational and on-brand.  Via a new intranet microsite, we nurtured an internal community who acted as a testbed for their newest technologies.

    This led to a new approach to intranet sites – viewing them with the potential as useful tools rather than informational pages.  This was best exemplified by our work with their project office, creating a microsite that was core to their operational processes.

    The future’s bright…
