Apple have added a really nice new ‘compare products‘ section to their online store. In typical Apple style, it’s well designed and easy to use. You can select up to three products to compare, chosen from a Javascript overlay, which are then displayed in columns so you can quickly compare their features.

My favourite part of the design is the way the table changes as you scroll down the page: the product names and images always stay at the top so you can easily remember what you’re comparing, and the table’s various headings ‘collapse’ as you scroll past them. It’s a bit hard to explain, so go and add a few products and take a look for yourself.

Oh, and it comes in S8080’s Pantone  orange.

I really like the unusual layout of this email designed by s8080, especially the way the map graphic is burning into the main content and the way the free floating secondary content is flanking the middle column. The three colour bar background is so interesting and provides a foundation for the important links on the left hand side. The nice narrow column always helps with readability, too. Super cool job on this one.

We have specialised in email newsletter and campaign design, production, broadcast, list management and analytics for quite a few years now and have 100’s of successful ‘mails under our belts.

We are currently running a stunning and groundbreaking campaign for Welsh Assembly Government’s  IBW and as soon as they have all been delivered, we show them on the blog.

We have been working with DofE for a couple of years now and the lunch was to say ‘thanks’ to their digital suppliers and outline how the organisation will be expanding their digital activities in the future.

So we jumped on the train yesterday morning and arrived at the side entrance of the palace only to be told that we were expected at the main front gate! They were Changing the Guard at the time, so to the sound of a marching band and under the watchful gaze of thousands of tourists, we were ushered into the palace.

We were then escorted to the balcony room (THE balcony – where that very famous Royal wedding kiss took place in 1981).

It was a very intimate affair, only about 20-30 people. Palace staff bought us gin and tonics and we took in the sumptuous surrounding and history that surrounded us. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex arrived and walked around the room chatting. We discussed the recent YouTube Channel we have created for DofE and he explained what a fight he had getting ‘this place’  onto YouTube! He was a funny, down to earth and charming man.

After lunch (yes, the food was amazing), we all chatted some more, Prince Edward talked about the digital future of DofE and thanked us all for our hard work on their website and the eDofE. We had coffee and he said his goodbyes and left us to enjoy and explore the surroundings, portraits and antiques that line the main corridor .

It was a unique experience, and one that Matt and I will remember for a long time. Huge thanks to the DofE team for inviting us.

We recently launched a funky little microsite for the Lee Valley Park London 2012 Games White Water Canoe Centre.

The venue, due to open to the public in Spring 2011, will host the paddle sports events during the Olympic games. As well as canoeing and kayaking, visitors will be able to experience white water rafting in the steep obstacle filled course.

The microsite sits within Lee Valley Park’s main website, powered by our in-house Content Management System.
