Great Brand Design
by James Marshall 30 August 2010 21:10

Dorset Cereals have a great brand. The packaging design, packaging production, the identity, the illustrations and more than anything the creative copy they use in their branding. This blog is a simple acknowledgement to a really successful and liberal brand. A mature version of the Innocent Smoothie brand it provides great, informative reading at the breakfast table when the newspaper is late.

What's more the product tastes great.

Our Website Design Doesn't Need Websafe Fonts
by Dave Bates 22 July 2010 16:07

Websafe fonts in website designs are a pain. Developing a client brand with complete freedom and then being constrained by what web browsers will render is more than annoying. When we create a beautiful Flash websites it's not something that we have to worry about, but with HTML websites it is a whole different story, until now.

Websafe fonts are now a thing of the past thanks to the guys at typekit.com We are able to pay more attention to font usage on a website and produce sites for our clients that will render in the way we want with the fonts we want.

However, there are still limitations. Many of the font foundries are still not happy to release their fonts for online usage. The reason why? Piracy. Jason Smith at Fontsmith points out. ’Even though browsers can now support embedded fonts, it’s still too easy to steal them. [A viable solution is] about five years away,’ he reckons.

So the solution is not complete, but we are certainly moving in the right direction, the choice we have now is still infinately better than what we had before.

To get you website designed with all the latest technology you need to give the London Design Agency a call on 0207 101 1841 or use out contact form.

The One That Got Away

Naturally everything we do doesn't see the light of day. This is a website design project that we worked on recently. Sadly it did not see us appointed, but we thought we would show it anyway because it had some really unique and innovative features to engage the audience.

The One That Got Away

Flash Website Design
by Dave Bates 14 July 2010 17:08

Flash website design or HTML? This is a question that we always ask ourselves at Dhub when embarking on a new website development and online strategy development. We base our decision on our client’s needs online and the influences of their market place. HTML and Flash are very different technologies, used for completely different situations.

HTML is best suited to content-based websites whereas Flash website designs are best used for animated multi-media demonstrations. Both have their place. And of course, sites need not be one thing or the other.

In our mind there is no right or wrong. Provided we can support both technologies online you should take comfort that your website audiences will be able to see your website no matter what technology they have.

Some of our recent Flash website designs have allowed us to really flex our creative muscles. From the Westwoodnine Flash Website Design to the more organic Impulse24 Flash Website Design, they all have uses and function, the latter was developed to captivate audiences and engage them with the Impulse 24 brand. The Westwoodnine website was all about their images, they wanted to show full screen images so a Flash website design was the best tool for the job.

If you really want to stand out from the online crowd, whether it be a straightforward, yet creative website site or a Flash website design give the Superheroes at Dhub a call on 0207 101 1841 or contact us and see how we can make your site more flashy.
