We win South West Screen

We're extremely pleased to announce that we've been appointed by South West Screen to redesign their website. South West Screen is aiming to make the South West of England an international centre of excellence for the creative media industries by growing creative businesses, developing talent, reaching audiences, developing skills, promoting the region, connecting communities and investing in innovation. The website will position them as the one-stop-shop for everything to do with creative media in the South West. We will be working on a website that aims to enhance information sharing, collaboration, user participation, dynamic content, metadata, web standards, accessibility and scalability.

We've had some exciting new jobs come in over the last few weeks. We're currently busy working on a Darwin Flash game and Mini Innovators page design for Nesta (Planet Science), design and search engine optimization for Tocris Bioscience, Flash video content for The Netherlands Film Fund, websites for Whiteladies Medical Centre, Clifton Medical Occupational Health and Elegance Building Contractors, two really exciting web 2.0 apps for Howse Jackson Marketing, another Flash game for Unite the Nation and various online marketing productions for Bristol Old Vic, Encounters Short Film Festival, Ilsenso, Revilo Toys and City of Bath College.

We're moving!
22nd September 2008
On September 26th we will be moving to a new office where we'll be teaming up with Tijuana Design as part of the newly formed 70One Group. As a result, we'll be completely integrating the cross-media brand management and design services we've been offering together from two different locations since last year. We can't wait. The new office is just a few minutes away from our current office, but it's a bit bigger. We'll have three floors of a Georgian Building right in the middle of The Triangle in Clifton with all its shops, cafes and the park around us. The building was an empty shell a few months ago and has been refurbished to a very high standard and has been tailored to our preference. We'll have a reception room, a library/quiet design room, offices for Pixillion and Tijuana and a large open plan studio at the top floor. It's going to be great. Feel free to send your support/candy/cards to 71 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 1QP.
Say hi to Gary
1st September 2008
We have a new multi-talented designer on our team. His name is Gary. He is what we call a "hybrid" as he's not only a very talented designer, he's an excellent developer as well. Don't hesitate to call him any time if you want to say hi.
Our summer
23rd July 2008
We're pleased to announce that we've won some interesting jobs recently. Yesterday the new site design and development for Computerworld, a training centre and IT-systems provider, came in. We've also started work on a new online home for BackupDirect, one of the country's leading online backup providers. Aside from that we're working on the new website for City of Bath College with our friends at Dirty Design, producing an online e-learning system for extreme sports, designing and developing a huge and extremely cool music-based social networking site/shop, coding W3C and Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) compliant templates for the new site of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), developing an online shop for local lingerie designer Hannah Dulcie and various other productions in online marketing and design and development. Ah yes, we're busy, but please get in touch if you've got something interesting for us to work on, be it big or small!
Our online shops

More and more high street stores and start-ups approach us when they see the great possibilities online trading has to offer. More than 85 percent of the world's online population has used the Internet to make a purchase -- increasing the market for online shopping by 40 percent in the past two years -- according to the latest Nielsen Global Online Survey on Internet shopping habits. Pixillion's sites offer easy shop management, easy customer management and effective and secure payment processing on exciting bespoke designs.

The popularity of our e-cards on the European Hallmark Cards websites and the Microsoft Network (MSN) is at an all time high, with numbers of unique visitors in The Netherlands topping 3.2 million with over 1.5 million e-cards sent in December! Merry Christmas everybody!
2008 editions of Bath Literature and Music Festivals websites
5th November 2007
After the huge increase in both traffic and on-line sales since the launch of our 2007 edition of their music and literature websites, the kind people of Bath Festivals asked us to design the 2008 version of both sites as well. Because the sites are powered by our content management system and built using W3C standard compliant mark-up in which we separated content and styling, it only takes a fraction of the original development time to change the look of the sites. Bath Literature Festival 2008 website is live now.
Arts & Humanities Research Council website
25th September 2007
We're proud to announce that we've been appointed to design a new online home for the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is the UK's leading research funding agency for the arts and humanities. It is a non departmental public body (NDPB) established by Royal Charter in 2005, which operates under the aegis of the Science and Innovation Group of the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills (formerly Office of Science and Innovation within the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)).
