Long-term HeadRed client, the Nationwide Group Staff Union (NGSU), have recently undergone a website makeover. Their old design served them well for over 2 years, but it was felt the time was right for a change. 

Following an involved consultation process the new NGSU design was produced. Our focus was on creating a look-and-feel that fully reflects the nature and values of the union, whilst at the same time providing visitors with the most usable route to information they require. 

The finished design is very clean and professional with splashes of colour throughout providing consistency with the NGSU’s corporate brand. The site’s layout has also been improved with feature boxes on the homepage and a much more logical navigation structure making it a lot easier for users to find their way around. What’s more, we also added in a new NGSU blog so now you’re never too far away the latest news and views on the world of working practices! 

Check out the new NGSU website here: www.ngsu.org.uk

Today saw the launch of a new look website for boutique kitchen clothing company, Kiss the Cook. The new design was put together by HeadRed’s senior creative, Leon, who successfully took the colourful, quirky nature of the company and carried it over to the website itself.

Take a look at his work and the new design here: www.kissthecook.co.uk

As part of the new site’s launch, Kiss the Cook have also signed up to our Email Marketing and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) service to help drive traffic and online sales.

The Screwfix brand is synonymous with DIY and home improvement throughout the UK. Screwfix Wardrobes is a new website that, thanks to an association with existing HeadRed client Spaceslide, brings the world of made-to-measure sliding wardrobe doors to the Screwfix product portfolio.

HeadRed designed and built the new Screwfix Wardrobes website, which like its Spaceslide counterpart includes a bespoke e-commerce engine. Our custom-built “wardrobe configurator” allows customers to tailor their purchase to their exact requirements, providing the ultimate online experience.

If the results we achieved for Spaceslide are anything to go by then we’re sure the new Screwfix Wardrobes website will be a phenomenal success!

HeadRed have been appointed by local tennis coaching company, Inspire 2 Coach, to deliver a new website and overhaul their existing online presence.

Inspire 2 Coach runs a wide range of tennis programs for all ages and abilities at a family of clubs in Warwickshire and Worcestershire. They also offer packages of coaching courses, workshops and mentoring for all levels of coaches and teachers.

Our work will include the creation of a new brand identity for Inspire 2 Coach. This will form the basis of the website’s overall look-and-feel with the aim of enticing and engaging visitors.

The site itself will provide a platform for budding Andy Murrays of the future to find coaching courses local to them and book a place online. Similarly, tennis coaches and teachers will have access to a wealth of information and details of how they can enroll on programs of their own.

The new site is currently under development and we are working towards a summer launch.
More details to follow.

February saw the launch of the new website for Britannia Wardrobes, a subsidiary of the highly acclaimed Spaceslide.

The new site has built on the successes of its parent with a clean, crisp design supporting clear calls-to-action for potential customers. Unlike Spaceslide, there is no e-commerce functionality built in, but interested purchasers can request a free quotation by using the web forms located on the site.

Spaceslide are already one of HeadRed’s biggest clients with online sales belying our shrinking economy. We’re sure that the new site for Britannia will follow suit and become equally successful.

The website for long-time HeadRed client French Selection has received a much needed makeover.

French Selection UK is a leading recruitment consultancy who specialise in the placement of multilingual professionals. Their website was originally launched by HeadRed back in 2004 and has been used to source employees for clients and jobs for candidates ever since.

Now, four years on, the site has been refreshed and brought up to date with modern web design standards. The finished version is clean and airy but also colourful and vibrant. Clear calls-to-action engage visitors at the point of entry and allow for guided routes through to relevant information.

We’re certainly very proud of it. Take a look at the new face of French Selection here: http://www.french-selection.co.uk/

Our brief was to design a glossy, 12 page theatre brochure in the style of the revered venue that would act as the official invite for a highly prestigious event.

The brochure places HeadRed in the esteemed company of Toulouse Lautrec, Pierre La Mure and Baz Luhrmann, as creative visionaries who have attempted to capture the mystique and charm of the “Red Windmill”.

The Herbert is part of the Arts and Heritage Service of Coventry City Council and is currently going through a major redevelopment.

The recently launched website for the Herbert’s “Virtual Gallery” forms a significant part of this redevelopment. The site, which was designed and developed by HeadRed, allows everyday users with the facility to create and manage their own virtual gallery space.

The site is yet another example of our work with recognisable corner-stones of the Coventry community and further demonstrates our commitment to the local area and its various reputed institutions.

It’s been several months in the making, but the new website for the QIA has finally been launched.

Our work included overhauling the site’s design, so as to provide a much cleaner, crisper feel that is more befitting of the agency’s values and traditions.

The overall site structure and layout also needed to be improved to better support the vast quantity of content, plus the site was required to be developed in accordance with strict government accessibility guidelines.

Our work on the new QIA corporate site follows on from the successful launch of the new QIA intranet last summer.
