Certificate of Website Launch!

Its always exciting when another small business branches out into something new. A long term client of mine, Master Tech Autos, has had a brilliant idea and launched a new, online project. We may well have all considered what happens if we lose or destroy our MOT certificate? Well, now a replacement can be ordered online from Lost MOT Certificate, the new business from MTA.

The new website design has been an interesting and exciting project, involving logo design, website design, hosting, e-mail provision, secure online forms and more. This new site is currently making its way up the search engine rankings despite only being launched, as one of the big three launches, on Monday!

Moving Design.

Long term clients, JMC Removals & Storage have mainly used Gabriel Design services for graphic design work. In fact I designed their current logo and corporate identity a few years ago now. It was therefore a pleasure to receive the brief to redevelop their website. They required a fresher and brighter website to replace the one they had been using for several years and I went right back to the original thoughts and designs for their corporate identity to create an attractive new website concept for them.

Using new text supplied by a third party copywriter the design works well, informing the visitor on all the services provided by JMC Removals & Storage, and gives a professional and attractive image to the business. The new website was the second of three launched on a very busy Monday...

Chartered Collaboration

Over the years I have been pleased to work with Aidan, a West Country based graphic designer, and his company Pink Matter. We have collaborated on a number of projects, the bulk of which have seen Gabriel Design converting Aidan's excellent designs into working, impactive websites. The most notable of these include Musicians South West, Chesterblade Hills and SC Miller Ltd. The latter of these, a chartered accountants based in Hampshire, approached us late last year to give their website a new design and a new direction. Working together Aidan and I created and prepared an eye-catching solution to their problem and after liaising with the IOCA we launched the site on Monday.

This was the first of three key website launches on the same day, the conclusion of many weeks exciting, interesting and hard work...

Assisting with a GCSE

In a surprising twist today I received an enquiry form off of the Gabriel Design website from a GCSE student based in Herefordshire. He politely requested using an image of mine for his coursework. Obviously I have some examples on my websites where the copyright has passed onto the client and I therefore had to double check that the image was mine to release. Intellectual property is an important issue for me and my clients and I was impressed that a student would take the time to seek me out and ask.

Having asked what image he had in mind, and for what purpos

e, I got reply later in the day explaining that he wanted to use my alternative London 2012 Olympics logo for a piece of coursework on healthy eating and fitness for his ICT work. This was of course not a problem and I was happy to say yes, especially on the day when Iran make new claims about the unappealing official logo. I'm sorry to say that the official logo has still to 'grow on me' but even I don't think its part of any Zionist conspiracy!
