Chichester Design

We’ve known Kabuki Productions and their big cheese Ajay for some time – we’re both involved in the South Coast Design Forum, First Friday Networking and other creative and networking initiatives in Sussex and elsewhere along the South Coast. So, we bump into each other pretty frequently!

Kabuki springs to mind because Ajay is featured in the next edition of Business First, a quarterly magazine for the business world. Hence, I thought it would be a good time to tell everyone that we’re the brains behind their website – www.kabukiproductions.co.uk.

I attended a very interesting seminar on social media in the business world this week, organised by the South Coast Design Forum and held at the Assembly Rooms in Chichester. The speakers included Françoise Murat, an interior and landscape garden designer, who amongst other things blogs for Sarah Beeney’s website http://www.telipo.com.

She is one of an increasing number of people who recognise social media as an extension of traditional marketing and public relations, and as a means of building your reputation and establishing yourself as an authority in your sector, or a “thought leader”, as…

The Chichester Design team enjoyed a brilliant night out last Friday with Katie Melua and guests at the Chichester Real Ale and Jazz Festival. Having designed and built the event’s website, we were kindly invited by the organisers to the headline night.

It was quite a busy night, as some of the team also had tickets for an early evening talk by the BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson, which was part of the Chichester Festivities.

He talked about how the news had been reported over the last century or so. It was particularly interesting to hear him…

We’ve recently completed a new website for Chichester-based publishing company Summersdale, one of the leading non-fiction publishers in the UK and nominee for the Independent Publishers Guild’s 2010 Independent Trade Publisher of the Year award.

Director Alastair contacted us with a brief to overhaul their existing website. They specifically wanted to add functionality that would enable them to list products they have for sale at Amazon, eBooks and Audible.co.uk, while at the same time permit a third party to manage these online sales.

And this is exactly what we’ve delivered – a…

The Chichester Design team has delivered a new website for West Sussex-based courier and transport services company Inderford. Now that I’ve got that pun out the way (sorry), I can get on to explaining what we’ve done for them.

Ray at Inderford approached us and asked us to create something for him, using the company’s existing visuals, that he could then update and expand as and when he wanted. So, once we had the photography in the bag, we designed and developed a content management system (CMS)-based website for him.

A CMS-based website gives the user the independence…
