Each site needed to have a consistent look and feel as a continuation of the brand - but with certain distinguishing elements to indicate the differences between the sites.

The client wanted to be able to manage all 3 sites via one product catalogue and checkout and one content management system – which is exactly what we have given them.

So if you’re stuck for ideas on what to get a loved one this Christmas, a Balloon ride might be nice!?

"To Focus New Media,
Just a note to say how pleased we are with our new web sites.
Now they have gone live we are looking forward to an increase in business and as they look so good, I don’t think it will take long!
The functionality is very easy to follow and maintenance of all three sites will be easy now, due to being able to control all three sites from one admin area.
Thanks"

We're looking for an Account Manager to join our team and help us proactively look after our wide range of clients.

The main tasks of the role include building and maintaining relationships with our customers, planning and managing ‘online’ and ‘offline’ campaigns using a variety of marketing techniques, taking and logging support calls and work requests and liaising effectively with our technical teams, preparation of quotes, work monitoring and scheduling, pr, networking and project analysis (phew!).

We're after bags of enthusiasm, excellent communication and organisation skills and self motivation. Ideally we’re looking for someone with a background / commercial experience in a similar role in a digital or marketing agency – and some knowledge of online marketing is a bonus.

A full job specification and more details on benefits is available on request - send us an email at hello@focusnewmedia.com

A driving licence is required as you’ll be visiting clients as well as spending some time on a regular basis in our Hertfordshire office.

Strictly no agencies.
 

We're back from the Future of Web Design (FOWD) 1 day conference in Bristol

Paul & Simon had an inspiring day learning about the latest web design trends and topics as well as meeting lots of other designers and developers in the Bristol area.

The conference covered topics including: the new features of HTML5 - the next generation of web design technology, how to improve the design process with your clients, how to create the perfect portfolio and 5 ways to introduce more fun into the work place.

The hosts even provided free beer after the event as well!

Options @ 16 & 17 offers advice on what choices are available after year 11 for qualifications, training and work and the new Work Matters site provides an overview of 14 key industries that school leavers may be interested in pursuing a career in.

Both sites include features such as an interactive quiz, polls and digital note pads where they can log information as they browse the site and then print them out at the end.

We'll also be launching a highly accessible micro site called Easy Read for Connexions at the end of September which will provide the organisations information and advice in a format that is accessible to those with disabilities.
