			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-798" title="header2" src="http://quixoticmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/header2.png" alt="" width="233" height="136" />We have recently launched a new website for a client of ours who are heat exchanger and transfer specialists by the name of Universal <a title="Universal Heat Transfer Ltd" href="http://www.universalheattransfer.com" target="_blank">Heat Transfer</a> Ltd.</p>
<p>The <a title="Web Design" href="http://quixoticmedia.org/services/web-design/">web design</a> requirement was to bring the website up to date and initiate a marketing strategy to complement it. Their was no option but to start from scratch with this redesign as the existing website was built some years ago using dated web technologies and prehistoric standards. While the website did work it failed to meet any of the SEO criteria we abide by, and also lacked in contextual information.</p>
<p>We began by developing a whole new structure for their website to break down the layers, products and services of the business in a more logical and explanatory manner. In doing so we also wanted to achieve a clean, corporate and professional appearance whilst not being boring or too old fashioned.</p>
<p>See fig 1 for the old website, and then fig 2 for the new website to see the transformation from a website which was blocky, and had some padding issues, most of which are probably more to do with the way the internet and browsers/standards have developed over the years rather than the fault of the original web designer, who at the time of development probably did a pretty good job and delivered what was &#8220;at the time&#8221; a fairly modern look.</p>
<div id="attachment_797" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 770px">
	<a href="http://quixoticmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/uht-old.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-795];player=img;"><img class="size-full wp-image-797" title="uht-old" src="http://quixoticmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/uht-old.jpg" alt="" width="770" height="601" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Fig 1</p>
</div>
<div id="attachment_796" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 768px">
	<a href="http://quixoticmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/uht-new.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-795];player=img;"><img class="size-large wp-image-796" title="uht-new" src="http://quixoticmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/uht-new-1024x777.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="583" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Fig 2</p>
</div>
<p>The final result above shows the homepage of the website which is designed to form a microcosm like overview of what the website does, who they facilitate and how to follow the correct sales funnel to get in contact for additional information. The website incorporates features such as Print and PDF for usability, products search, and is built to be as SEO friendly as is computer-ably possible.</p>

</p><p>The Wake Up Cloud is a website about self improvement, motivation, healthy lifestyles and life hacking. The brief was to deliver a clean light site, that was easy on the eye and not too cluttered, whilst still being functional and making the most out of Web 2.0.</p>
<p>The emphasis has been based around the branding we designed early on in the design process. We again wanted to portray the web 2.0 style using soft gradients and clean layout.</p>
<p>The result is a well organised, well optomized lifestyle blog which Henri is very pleased with. For more information  click <a title="Click Here!" href="http://wakeupcloud.com" target="_blank">The Wake Up Cloud</a>.</p>

</p><p>Kevin is part of a large circle of sucessful online marketers and works from all over the world spending just a short few hours per day to achieve great financial success and a large and loyal following.</p>
<p>We were first in contact with Kevin a couple of months ago and threw some ideas out on the table for a possible future blog redesign. The project brief was to be sharp, professional and promote his professional style without forgetting this guys got style too, and understands the importance of branding and standing apart from the crowd. We can now present this design in its entirety at <a title="Kevin Hokoana - MLM Professional" href="http://kevinhokoana.com" target="_blank">MLM Success</a>.</p>
<p>We used a rich purple as our base color for its bold and powerful qualities and quickly drew some lazer style curved lines so the first impression of the site has some life. We incorporated his professional photograph to help promote his human branding and wrapped it up with a bow.</p>

</p><p>Cheryl Currie has been a client of ours for some time now. We have already assisted in her blog management, and help develop her confidence with her content management.</p>
<p>After not so much deliberation Cheryl decided to take the leap sooner rather than later and follow suit in changing her WordPress framework over to Thesis. We wanted to maintain the original color scheme, whilst adding more flexibility and some enhanced yet minimal branding.</p>
<p>Cheryl&#8217;s confident approach to marketing and networking has gained her much attention and continues to help break down the jargon and give it to you straight.

</p><p>After spending some time working on multiple MLM campaigns Josh approached me with the proposition of creating his personal blog, to give him a medium to deliver his experience, information and wisdom on all that is Multi Level Marketing.</p>
<p>Although Josh&#8217;s main instrument for his blog is his MLM knowledge he wanted people to see in his branding that hes not all suits and ties, and that he, like many of us has exciting hobbies. His favourite being surfing. We sat down and decided to develop his branding to let his readers know that you can be serious yet still appreciate the simpel things in life.</p>
<h2>Testimonial</h2>
<p>I have been looking at blogs for a few months now.  I took my time and made sure that I worked with someone who knew exactly what I wanted.  It was almost as if David Alexander was reading my mind.  As we went through the process of setting up my blog he walked me step by step and  filled in all the blanks.  The design was just what I was looking for and WordPress seems like second nature to me.  Blogging Rocks!  Thank You David and Quixotic&#8230;</p>

</p><p>Rose Clark is a Social Media consultant who helps deliver social marketing solutions to businesses of all different sizes.</p>
<p>Rose approached us with a new project to brand her business in a personal way, while keeping the overall design fairly simple. We created a nice soft blue, navy blue, gold and white color scheme which was just enough to give her branding some character.</p>
<p>We have also then taken her personal blog branding and helped to transition this across her social network profiles to continue the consistency, which is an important example for her to demonstrate to her clients.</p>

</p><h2>Site Design, Flash, Video and Picture Galleries</h2>
<p>Below is an established nightlife events brand that is based in Birmingham but has held numerous events both nationally and internationally. Below has developed a large following and been commended in large music magazines such as Mixmag. Below came to us wanting a lively, modern website to give their brand a firm presence online. We used the moonfruit platform to build this website as it enabled us to use flash and video elements whilst providing an affordable solution. The website has an intro page, music, video, galleries and a large variety of pages styles and designs. Please visit <a href="http://www.belowevents.co.uk" target="_blank">Below Events</a> to see our work in action.</p>
