We recently launched the new Royal College of Anesthetist’s website using Drupal (more about that soon) and have just published the 4th issue of Wild Fishing Wales eMagazine for the environment agency – and that involves an incredible piece of email marketing to 60,000 angling enthusiasts – the first one went out to over 480,00 recipients.

The UX team have been busy running what seems like hundreds of stakeholder sessions all over the UK, gathering requirements for five major projects we have just kicked off.

The tech team are working on a demanding SharePoint project for a client in Westminster and an Umbraco installation for a large corporate client and the front end development team are pushing out very technical Drupal implementations for various clients in London.

The creative team and .NET team were particularly pleased with the spring launch of Lee Valley Regional Park website  http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/ – on time and in budget and ready for London 2012.

This is all leading somewhere…

As the interest in our work is ever increasing, and we’ve had our best year ever since we launched S8080, we’ve decided to expand the team and are looking for a PHP dev’ and an end-to-end front end dev’ to join us here in Swansea.

Both roles are permanent and you can find out more info here.

So if you or anyone you know would like to come and join us, please get in touch.

I was in town yesterday for a few meetings.

Bumped into these guys while waiting to cross the road – something I haven’t witnessed since I was a lad.

Via I believe in advertising.

Getting more hairy by the day.

Our good friends, Dezrez, have just launched their brand new site.

And we designed it for them.

Dezrez have THE best software for estate agency sales and letting available. We’ve been working with them as partners for many years, designing and building the websites that house their technology. In fact, we were in University with the founders of Dezrez!

We’ve seen a real shift, estate agents are now embracing Open Source CMS platforms including Drupal, WordPress and Umbraco and well as S8080’s own .NET content management system if they really want to customise things.

We worked very closely with Dezrez, initially on their UX design and wireframes and then onto the creative phase of the project. they made very good use of our in-house illustration team to give the site a personality all of it’s own.

As always, it’s so satisfying for an agency to work with a client who is passionate about the project. Every meeting and session we had left us buzzing with ideas, it’s the very best way to work on a creative project like this. Everyone feels so involved and comfortable tabling their ideas.

The new site is a huge success – and a success they thoroughly deserve.

The last word goes to Wilf…
