Agent Smart website goes in for “some work”

Filed under: graphic design, web design — Tags: — Barney Sanders @ 11:35 am

Being very LA… err no err… well Hampshire, Agent Smart has “had some work done”.

Never fear he doesn’t now resemble a cross between Katie Price and a Sherlock Holmes, that really would be too scary to share here! The new improved website design has gone live now and as facelifts go, it has been rather successful.

Check out the all new improved homepage at: www.agentsmart.co.uk and while you’re there don’t forget to have a go at the 12 days of Christmas quiz for your chance to win some of the finest Hampshire wine available.

Eclipse Close Protection’s corporate identity is in safe hands with Studio Republic

Filed under: web design — Tags: , , , — Chris Todhunter @ 1:45 pm

We first met the guys from Eclipse when they viewed our old offices. It was obviously a fated meeting as they took on the office and at the same time became a client! Eclipse Close Protection offer corporate security and VIP close protection to the rich and famous.

So far we have designed their logo and have produced their business cards – foil block on a heavy specialist card – very sexy! The website design is next (www.eclipsecloseprotection.com) with a holding page in place for now until the copy is finalised.

Hampshire gets smart, Agent Smart

Filed under: digital marketing, graphic design, web design — Tags: , , , — Barney Sanders @ 11:36 am

A new figure has emerged in the Hampshire region he’s Smart… Agent Smart! (sorry, couldn’t resist the Bond pun!)

Errr, anyway, moving swiftly on… we’ve just finished work on this new guide to all things Hampshire at the click of a button you can now see what’s available in our local area. The options are vast, from accomodation and events to the local history and heritage locations.

As Agent Smart is a new concept in Hampshire, if you have a business or have had a good experience at a local attraction let him know so that he can share it with the other Hampshire residents. Similarly, if you can’t find what you need then let him know and he’ll try to add that service as soon as possible.

Now that’s enough about the client lets get back to us, our favourite subject! For the Agent Smart project we undertook the branding, web design and back end development. The site uses the Google maps API with overlayed map technology, a what’s on section and a feed back facility all built bespoke for the client by our talented and ever so geeky technical team.

New website delivered for virtualisation industry leaders Virtual Age

Filed under: web design — Tags: — Chris Todhunter @ 9:00 am

Virtual Age felt that their site was outdated, over complicated and did not represent them in the best light. Studio Republic had already redesigned their logo so the website redesign was the obvious next step.

Studio Republic took the new corporate identity developed for the Virtual Age logo and designed a crisp, clean and innovative website. The website is not only modern in its design but utilises the JQuery Javascript library to add movement and interactivity without compromising on search engine performance.

Take a look at their site…

CityStore goes live

Filed under: web design — Tags: , , , — Chris Todhunter @ 12:58 pm

After a smooth and painless design and build process, the brand new CityStore website went live today. It currently features the self storage company’s Camden store, but had been built to be future-proof and can seamlessly expand as more stores open. The website features an interactive size and price estimator and Google Maps integration, allowing customers to get directions to the store without leaving the website.

Future additions will include online ordering of a selection of packing materials.

CityStore’s director Andrew Maxwell said of Studio Republic:

“If you are looking for an agency to undertake design work for your business, I would recommend Studio Republic for two key reasons. Firstly, they are creatively strong and have managed to produce collateral that has just the right look and feel for our business sector. Secondly, they are flexible and easy to work with which has created a great working relationship going forward.”

The CityStore website can be viewed at www.citystore.ltd.uk

The NHS are merging three separate internal organisationsin to the new Hampshire Healthcare Library Service. Part of the process is the branding and website for the new improved service. Studio Republic won the pitch and are delighted to be working with the NHS. We have created the brand and have since designed a plethora of print items such as posters, bookmarks, display stands and pens. Next is the website which is due to go live in late March.
