Absolute have been "giving a bit back" recently by creating a brand new website for local charity Kids of Bolton.  

The brainchild of Bolton Wanderers captain Kevin Davies and his wife Emma, KiDs of Bolton was set up to create opportunities for children and young people living in and around the Bolton area. Aware of their work, Absolute jumped at the chance to work with such a fantastic local charity.

Golden Ticket

Last year I saw the Edgeconf website and as the speakers came rolling in I knew this was going to be special. Edgeconf isn't your run of the mill conference, for one, the last conference I attended cost around £600, lasted 2 days and was during the week. A big cost for most businesses, especially if you're sending a team.

We love a good education project here at Absolute. There is usually a lot of scope to produce something a bit different and also to see how an idea or brand can be applied across a bunch of different media.

When creating school websites in the past, Absolute have been involved in every single step, from planning the site's architecture and linking with internal systems to organising and art directing video and photo shoots, designing print material and building clever connected smartphone apps.

Up steps another new Education client in the form of Hammersmith Academy. The academy approached us looking for a brand new website and associated media for their impressive state of the art facility. The academy is a centre of excellence for media and digital studies, and houses the latest cutting edge kit for pupils to use. Fancy being a TV presenter? Take an extra module after school where you can practice in the green screen booth with broadcast quality camera equipment. Really. The academy also is inclusive, offering opportunities for underprivileged pupils to excel.

Absolute have been collaborating with the school on the project's design phase, creating a look and feel that matches up to the promise of the school itself. Whilst there is still lots of work to do before the site is complete, everyone is really excited to see how this project takes shape over the coming weeks.

Check out our portfolio to see some more of the kind of work we do for our education clients, or alternatively give us a call on 01204 669566 where we would be happy to give you an insight into how Absolute can improve your school's marketing in 2013.

Team Absolute have been busy in the studio recently putting together designs for a brand new e-commerce website for our new client Dolci Follie. 

Dolci Follie are a London based boutique offering luxurious lingerie (say that 10 times fast) and accessories for discerning consumers. Their exclusive ranges and high end service earned them a "Independent Retailer of the Year" at the 2012 UK Lingerie Awards, along with features in Grazia, Cosmopolitan and The Wall Street Journal to name just a few.

The new site promises to better convey the Dolci Follie brand and offer visitors the same level of experience delivered in their stores, coupled with some clever stock management features ensuring the website dovetails perfectly with their store systems. Whilst this project is still in build phase, we are pretty chuffed with how it is looking so far and we wanted to share a bit of a "sneaky preview" on the blog. We think this has great potential as a project so check back soon to see how it turns out.

Years ago, at the dawn of the Internet there were desktop computers, then came a variety of different sized monitors, laptops, mobiles, tablets, game consoles, TVs, the list goes on.

Over the past few years, the number of devices has increased significantly. In 2014 it's predicted that more people will browse the web via a mobile device than desktop computers.
