Website and Development News

Working with the Internet does not need to be a chore, and it's enjoyable if you find the right people. We are happy for our previous work to be our advertisement of our abilities, and our clients are happy to be associated with us - so we can't be all that bad, can we?

This is not an exhaustive list, nor is it the limit of our capabilities, but certainly you can gauge our level of dedication and what we can do for you. Please contact us if you want to know more about the work we do, or if you'd like to talk through your ideas.

King's Park Primary School The existing website had worked hard for the School for over 3 years, and working together with the School Management Hopkins Online has redeveloped the website to reflect the changing nature of the School, education, and the place it has in the wider Bournemouth Community. » www.kingsparkprimaryschool.co.uk

CTruk Boats Ltd When you're looking for a quick turn-around on your website, and you want your product to take centre stage, you don't want a website that over-shadows your work, and this is exactly what CTruk Boats Ltd asked for. And it's what we did for them. » www.ctruk.co.uk

Andrew Dobson Architects Working with such a dedicated and hugely talented architectural company, led by Andrew Dobson, enabled Hopkins Online to try new techniques to achieve a dynamic showcase for this London architectural agency's work. » www.andrewdobsonarchitects.co.uk

Hopkins Associates Ltd Producing a website for a family member is a challenge and an honour, and as a project we dedicated the same amount of quality and attention to as any other client of ours. Project Management in the construction industry is very demanding and very visual, and one where quality of service make you 'stand out from the crowd' - which is the exact brief we had and delivered. » www.hopkinsassociates.co.uk

Make Life Easy Ltd Working with Fiona and her team for Make Life Easy has been an exciting and engaging project. Implementing a content-managed solution to showcase the work on the Make Life Easy re-brand has produced a fine and easy to use website, leaving Fiona in full control of her content and message. » www.makelifeeasy.co.uk

Don't Waste Your Time / eLearning Blog With over 160,000 hits and 5,000 unique visitor per month, the eLearning Blog is really taking off. Which is why we thought we'd update it a little and try a new look. What do you think, nice? » www.dontwasteyourtime.co.uk

CTruk Group We've worked with Andy White before, on the Waterside Marine Technology website (see below), so it was with great pleasure we were able to help out with his new venture, CTruk Group Ltd. CTruk are specialists in all-terrain (marine, land, and the stuff in between) vehicles, and the website was developed to represent the dynamic environments they operate in. » www.ctruk.com

Good stuff, if a little confusing!! » www.dontwasteyourtime.co.uk

Buckinghamshire Garden Railway Society Implementing a CMS tool has enabled the guys at BGRS to take and keep control of their website, their content, and their photos of their railway exhibition layouts. They are very proud individuals with a real passion and eye for the detail, and we are pleased to be involved with everyone at BGRS. » www.bgrs.org.uk

London Tornadoes Softball Another excellent opportunity for a CMS tool (a blog even) is for this up and coming softball club in London. They don't want to spend all day on the computer while they can be out annihilating their competition on the diamond, so the simple CMS means a quick update of results and photos and then down the pub for a post-match celebration. Job done! » www.tornadoessoftball.co.uk

'Surfer Dude' Logo Design A request for a specific logo for a brand new enterprise is an honour, and not one we at Hopkins Online take lightly.

London Vikings - Men's Hockey Tour Not your everyday request ... a logo for a hockey team about to go on tour. They wanted an easily recognisable logo to print to their T-shirts and kit bags, and something that said 'VIKING' (yes, with shouting capitals as well) to scare the opposing teams. By all accounts, it worked, and they won the tournament too!

Quantem Consulting Quantem is a modern London Construction partnership, providing specialist construction advice and services to large commercial clients.

Lakenham Primary School Working on a Content Managed website is not everyone's up of tea, but we enjoy it. Primary schools are the most advanced and modern thinkers in the education system, and Lakenham Primary is no different. After an introduction from King's Park Primary School, this Norwich school wanted to control their own Online presence, so that's what we're working towards, as a team, together! » www.lakenhamprimaryschool.co.uk

Flaura Boutique With extensive experience in producing high quality and truly individual floral displays, Flaura Boutique approached us to produce a similar website, one that reflects their attitude and commitment.

Pier Point Restaurant You know the saying, from small acorns ... ? Well, we turned up for a quiet cuppa at the Pier Point Restaurant and just got talking to them. Then we registered their domains, designed the site in PHP, Flash and XML, and now we manage their menus, Prize Draw, online Surveys, and Newsletter campaigns. Great guys, and even better food! » www.pierpointrestaurant.co.uk

King's Park Primary School Building on our already strong relationship with this progressive school, we implemented this Content Management System, enabling the School to take control. As well as cutting long-term costs, and giving them complete control over their content, they now enjoy a dynamic website for their pictures, news, newsletters, events, clubs, children pages, search, sitemap, etc. Now they're now Content Managed doesn't mean they're on their own, we still help out and give them all the support we can. » www.kingsparkprimaryschool.co.uk

Ron Leitch Gallery Local photographer Ron Leitch has recognised that the Internet is integral to so many people and their lives. What better medium to use to maximise the exposure his unique brand of photography. This online Flash & XML gallery uses a contemporary frame for his traditional style of photography.
