I haven’t posted much on web videos for a while, but a recently completed project for live website moderation company dis.cuss.it is the perfect opportunity to put this right. We designed and built a web video to demonstrate this client’s core
product.

The animated HD web video on the homepage gives a simple introduction to the company’s live website moderation tool, conveying key information in an engaging way in a short space of time. This web video was created on the Vimeo

I’m looking out of my Chichester Design window at a gloriously sunny day. Is this the beginning of our long-promised “barbeque summer”? Best not bet on it. But a surer sign that summer is on its way is the unveiling of the line-up at Chichester’s Real Ale and Jazz Festival.
