 Fig Tree Safaris Fig Tree Safaris aprroached us to create them a website that could grow as the business expanded.
We built them a WordPress site that is super easy to update and maintain, needing no special knowledge; and made it as visually spectacular as their farm is!
Click to see it live: http://www.figtreesafaris.co.za  Bitcrack Cyber Security BCS wanted a site that was simple and easy, but that they could maintain and update themselves, with no special knowledge.
pixelmagic deployed all of this in record time using a WordPress based website that answers their current needs and leaves them plenty of room to grow! This site features a funky RSS scroller too!
See the results here: http://www.bitcrack.net  Farnham Stables Owners Barry and Lorette Taylor are both top South African riders with a magnitude of experience and victories to their credit. They needed a website that was super easy to maintain, without taking up a lot of time, that they could use to keep clients and sponsors abreast of news.
We built them a WordPress site that was easy to update, as well as sticking closely to their well established visual brand.
See the live site: http://www.farnhamstables.co.za  Horse Dervs A one page site does NOT have to be boring!
This small start up makes delicious home made horse treats, and although they recognise the value of online marketing, they did not have a huge budget for their website.
The answer was a simple one page website that was as fun and attractive as their product, and leveraged the power of their Facebook business page (which we also set up for them and designed a custom landing page for)
We also designed their bright, cheerful logo to appeal to their target market!
See the site live here: http://www.horsedervs.co.za  Highveld Horse Care Unit This non-profit organisation needed a user-friendly website where they could highlight the plight of abused and neglected equines, as well as create an online community of like minded individuals, pooling resources.
We'd donated their old site to them 3 years ago, butit needed a makeover! So we built and donated them a new WordPress site that features easily updateable news areas, photo galleries, online donation with a credit card payment gateway, a fully featured banner ad system; blogs, content they could easily edit and manage on their own without the need for costly updating and a system to communicate with all site members easily.

We gave them a full CMS (Content Management System) running on WordPress, Blog integration, multiple photo galleries; image Copyright Protection; and Facebook & Twitter integration.
See the site live at http://www.pixal8.com  Canterbrooke Equestrian Estate As you know, we are happiest when doing horse related sites, and here's
another to add to our stable (*nudge* "stable", geddit?! ;))

The site is in line with their logo and Corporate ID which we developed for them as well.

This project included an updated logo for them too!
See the site live at http://www.wolfworx.co.za  Noble Creek Equestrian Centre Noble Creek won some hosting with our favourite hosting company, Oryx Internet, so we were especially flattered when they came to us to complete their website!
Their requirements were simple but comprehensive: A CMS (content management system - so they could update the site themselves); events calendar, strong tie-ins into social media, a photo gallery and integrated Google map.
We built them a WordPress based site and they were as happy as we were with the result! :)

They had their first order in less than 24 hours after going live :)
See the site live at http://www.charismaphotography.co.za  The Soweto Equestrian Foundation A legend in South African equine circles, Enos Mafokate’s passion for horses overcame racial barriers to excel
in the elite sport of show jumping in the 1960s and 1970s. Today he is
building an equestrian centre and creating skilled jobs in the heart of
Soweto. The Soweto Equestrian Foundation is a registered not for profit
organisation which will control, own and develop the Soweto Equestrian
Centre.
::pixelmagic:: was again contracted to build an updated interactive website where the site owners could update the site themselves, add news, post events in the event calendar, and add photos to the gallery. (We built their first website too!) This is a WordPress based site (which means they are completely able to add/edit/delete their own site content), with an inline Google Map and Facebook integration as well as an animated image slider on the home page to give the site life and movement as part of the package.
See the site live, click http://www.sowetoequestrianfoundation.co.za  Lochlorien Clydesdale & Highland Sport Horse Stud Another equine-related site is added to pixelmagic's stable: Lochlorien Stud needed a simple, warm, friendly site that would not need to be updated very often.
We built them a static html brochureware site that has a handy inline Google map and integration with Facebook; as well as an animated image slider on the home page to give the site life and movement, visually. The site is in line with their logo and Corporate ID which we developed from scratch for them.
See the site live at http://www.lochlorienstud.co.za  Farnham As you know, we are happiest when doing horse related sites, and here's another to add to our stable (*nudge* "stable", geddit?! ;))
Farnham is our own home base for keeping our horses, and as part of one of the top yard franchises in the country, they clearly needed a website to match their well-deserved reputation!
This is a WordPress based site (which means they are completely able to add/edit/delete their own site content), with an event calendar, client testimonials and Facebook integration as part of the package. The site is in line with their logo and Corporate ID which we redeveloped for them.
See the site live at http://www.farnham.co.za  Braam Sax South African saxophonist and teacher Braam de Villiers needed a new logo and business cards, plus an easy to manage website where he could showcase his up and coming events as well as make samples and mp3s of his music available for listening.
Here's what he said: "It all looks great! Thank you for all the effort and I truly appreciate the price that you were willing to do it for :-)"
It's a pleasure Braam - we're glad you like it! :) See the site live at http://www.braamsax.co.za
 3 Way Theatre Talented stage artists 3 Way Theatre briefed us on creating them a new logo, website and social media platform, so this is what we did:
We created their new logo and business cards and generated an events focused, content driven website that is easy for them to update themselves, and has a live feed from the Facebook page we created for them integrated into it!
we're happy to see that they're using it effectively immediately! See the site live at http://www.3waytheatre.co.za
 The Dark carnival One of our other passions is illustration and art and thus graphic novels and comics! So we were absolutely thrilled when The dark carnival approached us to develop their eCommerce enabled online presence to sell graphic novels, comics and related products online.
Featuring a blog, forums, private messaging, a full product catalogue and online shopping basket with secure payment gateway, this site is user friendly and completely managed and updated by the site owners.
Oh - and we were one of their first customers! :)
See the site live at http://www.darkcarnival.co.za  Chikara Stud & Guest Cottages We've really taken the bit between our teeth and galloped off with equine themed websites lately! ;)
Chikara come to us via the Neigh-Bours site and needed a site that would service both the equestrian side of the business as well as the accommodation side.
We gave th site life and movement with an animated slideshow of images to offset the fact that it's a static site, and used lots of calls to action! Chikara's Facebook Page Feed is also incorporated to keep the site feeling fresh.
See the site live at http://www.chikara.co.za  Andrew Portch Equine Dentist As you know, we are happiest when doing equine themed sites, and here's another to add to our stable (*nudge* "stable", geddit?! ;))
Andrew had come to us a while ago via the Neigh-Bours site and this is the site that as grown out of the original one pager w designed for him back then.
We gave it life and movement with an animated slideshow of images to offset the fact that it's a static site.
See the site live at http://www.horsedentist.co.za  Dunblane Lifestyle Estates The second part of our three-phase Dunblane project, the Lifestyle Estate website went live a few days after the Dunblane Equestrian Centre website did.
This is also a WordPress based site (which means they are completely able to add/edit/delete their own site content), with some funky customisation around their photo gallery, events calendar andnewsletter signups!
See the site live at http://www.dunblane-lifestyle.co.za  Dunblane Equestrian As you know, we are happiest when doing equine themed sites, and here's another to add to our stable (*nudge* "stable", geddit?! ;))
Dunblane had come to us as a consequence of the Neigh-Bours site and we were thrilled to redo a website for both their L:ifestyle Estate and Equestrian Centre.
This is a WordPress based site (which means they are completely able to add/edit/delete their own site content), with some funky customisation around their photo gallery, events calendar and newsletter signups!
See the site live at http://www.dunblane-equestrian.co.za  FEDUSA FEDUSA, the The Federation of Unions of South Africa, needed a breath of fresh air in the direction of their website!
We built them a clean, corporate, easy to navigate site on WordPress, so they have complete control over updating and managing the site content: the CMS (Content Management System) in WordPress is pretty unbeatable.
We brough the site in ON TIME on a very very tight deadline too - we're particularly proud of that! :)
See the site live at http://www.fedusa.org.za  Elas Africa Home Automation Elas Africa desperately needed to update their website's outdated look and get them a site that accurately reflected the high-end market they represent.
::pixelmagic:: built them a simple site which will require no updating - but it is the ideal platform for them to build on in the future.
See the site live here: http://www.elasafrica.co.za  Highland Country Weddings Based in Scotland, Highland Country Weddings came to :: pixelmagic :: when their local web designers couldn't produce a design that they liked! They needed to showcase all their amazing venues as well as keep an updated blog to showcase the incredible photos from each successfully planned wedding.
We spent lots of time telecommuting via Skype and email; and they loved the results! Just goes to show - Local is Lekker ... when it's South African local ;)
So if you're keen to get married in Scotland, click http://www.highlandcountryweddings.co.uk to see the site live.  Whitfield Farm Yes another horse-related site that we happily added to the :: pixelmagic :: stable - Whitfield Farm has a bright and vibrant bouquet of services that they provide; so their website needed to reflect this!
We added a jquery image slider to showcase as many of the services the farm has to offer without losing valuable real estate, and added a blog so everyone could keep up to date with the happenings on the farm.
Even tho this site is also wedding related, we were under strict instructions to not make it "fluffy" but kleep it classy and elegant - we were pleased with the results; and so were the owners: they promptly commissioned us to design business cards and Trade (Wedding) Magazine print ads.
See the site live here: http://www.whitfieldfarm.co.za  Equine Body Works With horses never far from our hearts, we were super happy to take on this one page site!
We added a funky jquery picture slider to give the site some life and movement, once again proving that a one page site does NOT have to be boring!
See the site live here: http://www.horsemassage.co.za  Vet2PetNet We're huge fans of animals here at :: pixelmagic :: so we were thrilled when Veterinarian Gerry Retief from KZN asked us to help rescue his swamped-by-spammers forum and revamp his site's look.
We redesigned his logo, did some email branding to help increase his marketing potential and delivered a community website complete with forums, multi-user blogs, an online shop, competitions and tons more! We put a whole lot of too much of cute animals all over his site too!
If you're an animal lover, go check out http://www.vet2petnet.co.za right now!  The Nerdies 2010 In early 2010, pixelmagic was approached to design a logo for the rapidly growing annual Nerdies competition run by NerdMag.
The brief was to create a stylish logo that was fun, funky and above all, seriously nerdy at the same time. We were as thrilled with it as they were! :)
See the logo in action on the NerdMag here: http://moralfibre.co.za/nerdmag/2010/02/12/the-nerdies-2010-results/  Be-Mobile Be-Mobile contracted pixelmagic to rework mobi sites for SA Tourism, Sandwich Baron and others. We must have impressed them, because we were then asked to redo their CI (Corporate identity: Logo, letterhead, business cards, powerpoint presentation; email branding and website)
This WordPress based website features a "featured article" carousel slider, hidden social networking icons and tight integration into social media.
See the site live here: http://www.be-mobile.co.za
(And you can point your phone at http://m.be-mobile.co.za to see the mobi site we designed for them too)  BidAHorse247 Having been dropped by a previous designer, BidAHorse approached pixelmagic with a big request:
- a complete CI (logo, branding, the works) - landing page and page where people could submit horses for auction - a fully featured auction site that they could update themselves - a blog - facebook page up and running along with facebook ads - branded twitter profile
... no big deal, right? Here's the big deal - they needed ALL of that under budget and in a week! And they wanted advertising page curls and all the bells and whistles too...
We brought it in under (*a fortunately and reasonably large) budget, and a day early for them... what can we say? Our clients love us :)
Go bid on a horse here: http://www.bidahorse247.co.za  Coral Stephens Handweaving The culmination of a conversation that started almost a year prior (by way of the Highveld Horse Care Unit website), the Coral Stephens handweaving site needed to be a rich tapestry woven with beautiful images and words.
This is a WordPress site, so the site owner may have as much or as little interaction with their audience as they like, as well as having the ability to change and update any part of the site they like, when they like, with no special knowledge of design or code.
See how it's all woven together here: http://www.coralstephens.com  Sandton SPCA Being ardent animal lovers, we were thrilled to be approached to develop the Sandton SPCA website.
They needed a site they could easily update themselves, so as not to incur continuous maintenance costs, so a CMS (Content Management System) was the order of the day. They needed a site that could showcase cute photos without taking up a huge amount of space: an animated flash header took care of that!
Support the Sandton SPCA here: http://www.sandtonspca.org.za  Angel's Mind Angel's an old friend, and when she wanted a custom WordPress theme created especially for her blog, we were thrilled when she chose pixelmagic to do it!
Angel's crazy about cupcakes, strawberries and dragons, and is very active in the ADHD community.. so we needed a really funky, girly, pinkish site that reflected that - with all the blogging ease that WordPress gives.
We were so pleased she loved the results!
See what's on Angel's mind here: http://www.angelsmind.co.za  Wynberg Panel Beaters Wynberg Panelbeaters, are a very progressive company - they understand that vehicle accidents can be stressful and because of this they
provide a professional service that is convenient, hassle free and puts
you back on the road quickly.
In order to further these aims, they ordered a website where their clients could check on the progress of their vehicle's repair, without needing to even pick up a telephone!
See the site here: http://www.wynbergpb.co.za  Neigh-Bours A collaboration between two very horsey ladies, their vision was to create a place for the South African equine community to come together and share ideas, blog, chat, ask, discuss and generally talk about all things horse.
Featuring a forum, live chat, blogs and a quick chat "shout box", the site gives you lots of different ways to talk, as well as having a fully featured event calendar and a CMS (content management system) so the site owners can update the site themselves.
See the site here: http://www.neigh-bours.co.za  EQualZeal EQualZeal specialises in Life Coaching for kids, and had very specific needs for their website! The site is built around an online assessment that allows parents to identify areas of need in their children.
We're quite proud of the way this assessment is coded: once you've taken the assessment once, you don't need to fill out personal details again for second and third family members - the site remembers it. The assessment mails itself to the trainer at the closest branch to the family, and mails an assessment response to the site user. It also gives the user a chance to download the results as a pdf - all branded.
Statistical information is represented by branded graphs, and subsequent assessments are compared graphically too. And this is all beside the full CMS (Content Management System) and other interactivity! :)
See the site here: http://www.equalzeal.com  Therapeutics Simple but effective.
Starting a new business can be daunting, and difficult on a limited budget. This "handy" lady needed an online web presence quickly that wouldn't break her budget while she was getting up and running.
Coupled with an affordable facebook campaign, this simple site has content written by our professional copywriter, and has proven to be highly effective!
See the site live here: http://www.therapeutics.co.za  The Guest Nest This charming self- catering apartment needed an electronic image to match it's beautiful interior!
We did them a mini CI (corporate identity), comprising a logo, business card and one page website to keep initial costs down. We also got a copywriter and a talented amateur photographer for this client to showcase the apartment without breaking the bank.
See the results here: http://www.guestnest.co.za  Eastgate Manor The first of two Bed & Breakfast sites for 2009, the proprietor of Eastgate Manor wanted to reposition and rebrand her business, without spending a vast amount of money in these cash strapped times!
We did this for her by getting in a professional copywriter for the new Eastgate Manor site that we created, and by creating memorable dual-purpose bookmark business cards!
See the site live at http://www.eastgatemanor.co.za  EQualZeal Mailers pixelmagic loved EQualZeal's branding from the second we saw it, so we were thrilled when they finally commisioned us to do some Corporate ID (CI) work for them: The PowerPoint template we did for them got this response:
“I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been
doing my presentation for over a year now… and last night, for the
first time I felt like I really had the WOW factor! I have always had a
good response to my presentation… but last night was just something
else! I was overwhelmed by the feedback about the professionalism and
my awesome presentation… thanks to you of course!!”
But our favourites are the emailers we did for them: an "upcoming events" newsflash emailer and an invitation to a book launch emailer! (shown at left)  The Feeder Factory website The Feeder Factory wanted a site that was simple and easy, but that they could maintain and update themselves, with no special knowledge.
The also needed provision made for possible future advertising on the site, as well as a newsletter subscription management tool.
pixelmagic deployed all of this in record time using a WordPress installation with a theme (design) custom made for the site by us to compliment their brand new branding and corporate ID. The Feeder Factory took or advice and worked with one of our copywriters - and the results are fantastic!
See the results here: http://www.thefeederfactory.co.za  Viljoen Consulting When Nikki from Viljoen Consulting approached us, she had 3 different blogs and a static website that wasn't really doing much for her. She wanted to consolidate all her scattered blogs into a dynamic, interactive marketing tool .
We built her a CMS (Content Managing System) that incvorporates
- user management (people can sign up as members) - blogs - ability to update her own pages - ability to upload youTube videos and other media - events calendar - private messaging system - "tell a friend" feature
See the site live here: http://www.viljoenconsulting.co.za  Regus eCards Five years later, and pixelmagic still counts Regus amongst our favourite clients!
In 2008, we've built them a pretty snazzy internal database management and CRM application, so that they can keep track of their brokers' loyalty program - oncluding the ability to send funky branded, totally customisable personalised emailers.
We also build them their eCard templates at the beginning of every year - here's 2009s!  The Feeder Factory Corporate Identity Based in Durban, The Feeder Factory found us on Facebook and commisioned us to create a Corporate ID with a bit of a difference:
- logo - letterhead - label - pricelists - fridge stickers
The owner sent us this photo of the fridge stickers "in the wild" :) (We loved drawing the little mouse prints going up the right hand side!)
Look out for their website coming soon...  fresh fish! blog fresh fish! followed our advice for small start-ups: “start with a simple site, and when it's brought you a couple of clients, then spend some more on making it more complex!” and commisioned a blog, in order to leverage the current wave of Social Networking as a marketing tool.
Featuring custom-made, interchangeable-on-demand backgrounds; this fairly simple blog has all the tools to make it powerful: Friendly URLS for Search Engine Optimisation, RSS feeds, comments, a Content Management System and built in spam detection.
There's nothing fishy about http://blog.fresh-fish.co.za  Birds&Bees Birds&Bees needed a logo as the beginning of a Corporate ID for their designer maternity wear, designed by women for women.
After several false starts and having not gotten what they wanted from other designers, they asked pixelmagic to design them something cute, fun 'n funky and bright.
Here's the first attempt and final result! :)  Noteworks Starting a new business can be daunting. The costs can be staggering. Having a simple, eyecatching one page site is a perfect way to start your web presence, without breaking the bank.
Noteworks came to pixelmagic for a complete branding and corporate id solution: logo, letterhead, business card, facebook group image and one page website.
Tak note of the live site here: http://www.noteworks.co.za  cyclemind "Do what you think is best" is our favourite brief! :)
CycleMind is just starting up and wanted to set off on the right foot (or tyre, as the case may be!)
::pixelmagic:: was comissioned to develop a logo which would be the basis of the forthcoming Corporate ID, website and cycling gear.  R & D Motors R & D Motors has lots of experience with fixing cars, but very little experience with the internet. They didn't have a website, but this family business recognised the growing necessity for a web presence.
::pixelmagic:: built them a simple site which will require no updating - but it is the ideal platform for them to build on in the future.
See the site live here: http://www.rdmotors.co.za  Dee's Saddlery Dee's Saddlery needed a very simple, inexpensive, one page site that would not need any maintenance.
The site needed to be aesthetically pleasing, as well as show people a thumbnail of what Dee's offers, and have space for a simple map.
See how ::pixelmagic: achieved that here: http://www.dees.co.za  fresh fish! A one page site shouldn't be boring!
fresh fish! is a new company with big ideas but a small initial budget. It was important to the client to get the "aquascape feel" by means of some fun, quick loading flash animation and the right colours!
pixelmagic developed a fresh and fishy logo and corporate id (including an ID image for their facebook group) built them a simple but funky one page site.
See the site live here: http://www.fresh-fish.co.za  TB Images TB Images URGENTLY needed a static info site as an introduction to their incredibly successful gallery of event photography.
In the 18 hours between getting the brief from our clients and the site going live, pixelmagic dropped everything to create a simple, effective site.
The site is constructed so that the owner can easily update their "photo of the week" too!
See it here: http://www.tbimages.co.za  New Turf Carriers A one page site doesn't have to be boring!
New Turf Carriers have lots of experience with trucking horses, but very little experience with the internet. They didn't have a website, but this family business recognised the growing necessity of a web presence.
pixelmagic built them a simple one page site which will require no updating - but it is the ideal platform for them to build on in the future.
See the site live here: http://www.newturf.co.za  Landrover Experience
There are
many reasons for customers and the general public to use and enjoy the
Kwa-Zulu Natal Landrover Experience (KZN LRE) centre.
Not least of which is their brand new website, information rich and saturated with the kind of exquisite photography that Landrover is famous for!
Go see why you should drive one here: http://www.lre.co.za  WFO-Print: WFO-Print, based in the UK, wanted us to storyboard a short animation to run on their home page. The idea was to catch attention, and hopefully make people laugh. The animation would be changed each month, but loosely follows a theme.
The amazingly talented Steven Bankart illustrated Derek the Power Panda and passed him on to ::pixelmagic:: to animate.
See the cute as anything result here: http://www.wfo-print.com/derek  Centaur Society pixelmagic entered the Centaur Society logo design competition on Equine SA in March 2008 - and won first prize: A Weekend for 2 people in Swaziland Game Reserve worth R10 000. * Rock of Execution Horse Trail + night at Reilly's Rock Hilltop Lodge. * Followed by a night at Mkhaya Game Reserve.
Winners were announced on the 13th of May.
See the competition page on EquineSA for more details.  GrillMasters Proudly South African with an oriental flavour, Grillmasters is based in Taiwan.
They needed a business card that had the feel of a typical South African braai, with respect paid to their new home town.
We created them flames, heat and far east sizzle with their new business card and corporate ID!  Olympus Live Without Limits game Olympus wanted to launch their new µ850SW camera slightly differently to the usual print ad campaign.
Using a really cute (but not too easy) hand drawn and animated flash game, pixelmagic created a viral campaign that uses word of mouth to spread the news. The game was launched by a bulk email that we designed and sent to their database; as well as on social networking site, facebook.
I can't enter for obvious reasons, and neither can pixelmagic staff or contractors, but you can. Good luck! The game runs til end of June 2008
Try your luck here: http://www.live-without-limits.com
 Kyburg Wine Estate A relatively new endeavour, Kyburg's owners wanted their first website to be visually as rich, elegant and opulent as their wine, without costing the earth!
We created a simple html brochureware site for them, with lots of photos to showcase the beauty of the vineyard and the cottage.
See the site here: http://www.kyburgwine.com  Norton Aquatics Norton Aquatics wanted to evolve from the basic static with flash site we did for them in 2007.
We upped their game and gave them a semi-community site with membership management, updatable news, discussion forums, a content management system for their library of fish-related articles and a random article/latest news feature for their main page so it always stays fresh!
See how fresh the fish are at http://www.nortons.co.za  Oryx Internet When pixelmagic's hosting partner needed a fresh new look, we were naturally their number one choice, and this is what we developed for them.
We think they were bucked with it ;)  Shelly Goldsmith: Artist Another StudioBaum/pixelmagic collaboration brought this UK based artist's web vision to life.
The ability to update her site herself with no special knowledge allows her to showcase all her work, including the most recent, while keeping updating costs to a minimum.
Feast your eyes on http://www.shellygoldsmith.com  MetSuYan This exclusive UK based restaurant serves exquisite glatt kosher oriental cuisine.
Another StudioBaum/pixelmagic collaboration brought the clients the clean, simple interface they wanted, along with absolute flexibility in content management.
Taste the sensation here: http://www.metsuyan.co.uk/index.php  Rubber Mats Another equine-related site is added to pixelmagic's stable: Rubber Mats needed a simple, warm, friendly site that would not need to be updated very often.
We built them a static html brochureware site that has a handy Quotation Request form that sends simple email. We added a small amount of judiciously used Flash animation to give the site life and movement, visually.
See the site live at http://www.rubbermats.co.za  Ms MoneyPenny A progressive book keeping enterprise, Ms MoneyPenny wanted their Corporate ID to reflect the fun, feminine flourish they bring to their level of professionalism.
Pixelmagic furnished them with uber cool business cards in record time!  Regus Regus are the masters of communication lines. They regularly keep in close touch with their clients, brokers and branches by way of a quarterly eZine, regular news bulletin emailers and loyalty points rewards updates to brokers.
We manage their large (700+ email addresses) and smaller (-300 email addresses) mail runs, and provide click tracking of articles, as well as delivery and read reports. We manage their user base in terms of unsubscribes, and always provide ECT act compliant opt out links.
 Highveld Horse Care Unit : Print ad for HQ Magazine and others While we were developing the Highveld Horsecare Unit's website, a number of publications kindly offered to flight full and half page adverts coinciding with the website's launch.
We built the print ad campaign around the cutest equine we could find at the unit, and this is the result!  Clarens Conversations Clarens Conversations is the Clarens Mountain Estate's quarterly eNewsletter.
We were approached to create the email template, as well as develop the article pages that the teasers in the newsletter refer to.  Office Forum We were appoached by Office Forum to give their website a makeover in line with their new Corporate Id, as well as giving them the tools to instantly update their comprehensive and enormous range of office furniture and accessories, avoiding costly site maintenance.
See how we did it here: http://www.officeforum.co.za  Regus: Christmas invitation As opposed to us doing a mailrun for them, Regus wanted to be able to send out their own, personalised email invitation to their end of year function to their clients.
The template needed to be in line with their creative, but simple enough so that the design would not alter on being edited.
This is our fifth year with Regus, so we know how to make them happy! :)  Commission: acrylic on canvas Some years ago, I created a handpainted tshirt of a large green frog. As the years passed, the tshirt started to disintegrate, and the owner commissioned me to do a more permanent version on a 1.25m x 1.75m canvas.
The result is on the left, with the original tshirt inset.  JC Photo As a profession photographer, Julian Cole needded a way to display large, clear images of his work without running the risk of having his copyrighted images stolen off his own site.
We're not going to tell you how we did it (oh alright, it was done by pixelmagic ;)) but we also added a random seed to the site which means that every time a visitor sees the site, there's something new and fresh that they haven't seen before.
