Matt and Kellie run a studio working on a mix of graphic and photographic work and wanted a portfolio style site to showcase this.

The site was based on a theme called F8 but reworked with some additional scripting to make the process of adding images simple, the site automatically crops and resizes the images when they are added, and uses the right size image for the slide show, thumbnails and embedded in the text.

Slideshow is the main image on the front page, choosing which images to feature in the sideshow is as simple as ticking a box so they can easily update this.

Last year we were involved in a usability evaluation of the site, helping to develop a simpler, more useful, information hierarchy. We became involved with the project through Knowledge West, a link to the case study can be found here. The outcome of the work resulted in around 25% rise in web visits and a 3 fold increase in the number of homepage visits, images viewed and info pages viewed.
