The original Playne Design holding page website developed by on-IDLE 3 years ago has finally been replaced with a brand new website and content management system (CMS).
For the new website launch, Playne had all their work professionally photographed which can now be browsed in depth through an innovative "image scroller". The image scroller is used as a navigation vehicle throughout the site, as well as providing strong visuals and motion. Interestingly, the image scroller is programmed in Ajax and not in Adobe Flash, meaning end-users do not need any plug-ins or players to view the site and work. Playne are able to control the speed and number of pieces of work within the image scroller directly through the CMS.
Playne designed the website concept from where on-IDLE worked closely with the project team to build and deliver a technically challenging site that not only looks beautiful, but works in all browser versions, is fully search engine optimised and wholly accessible.
Founded by typographer and designer, Jonathan Doney, The Spitfire Press is a letterpress workshop specialising in short run commisions including stationery, posters, books, booklets and leaflets.
Jonathan approached on-IDLE with a concept of how the website could look and work, from where on-IDLE desgned a new interface, navigation structure and built a supporting content management system (CMS) for simple day-to-day management of the website.
Products have been available to order for years on the previous website, but as the work is so collectable, and e-commerce payment gateway and shopping cart was developed by on-IDLE to support and complement the look-and-feel refresh.
The profile includes a specially produced video introducing The Spitfire Press. Browse through the t-shirts or the gallery's letterpress to purchase limited edition posters, prospectus' and books.

Commissioned by New West End Company
Launched early in 2009, the West End VIP website offers promotions, discounts and competitions to members of the West End VIP club. The original website needed users to register and become members prior to being able to see what offers were available severely impacting the number of member sign-ups, and the supporting CMS (content management system) was found cumbersome to use by the client.
on-IDLE reviewed the site architecture and working with the original layout designs, rebuilt the website to improve usability, include social media bookmarks and to facilitate browsing and encourage member sign-ups. Traffic to the site and new membership sign-ups have increased by over 50% within the first week of the relaunch.
A completely new CMS was introduced, customised to client's day-to-day site management as well as including an email module where client can create and send email news to members as well as track the metrics thereof.
The membership card itself is scheduled for launch in November 2009. If you regularly shop, go out, eat or stay in London's West End, becoming a member of the West End VIP club definitely has its advantages - sign-up today.

The National Tunisian Tourist Office in the UK & Ireland digital marketing account is held by Brik Digital who commissioned on-IDLE to assist with planning the site architecture planning and subsequently build the website, Google Map mashup, interactive itenerary and fully integrated CMS (content management system).
The website used an innovative mashup between Google Maps and activities and accommodation to make it visually easy to plan your travel to the country. The travel itenerary can be saved, shared with friends and family and printed off as a pdf document on the fly for reference on your travels.

Try out the Google Map mashup itenerary planner or simply visit the website to find out how fabulous Tunisia actually is as a tourist destination which is only a 2 and a half-hour flight from the UK (we didn't know that either when we started the build!).

An elite team of skilled professionals need a website to highlight their high service standards, services offered and contact detail.
The branding was developed by Michael Wolff from where on-IDLE designed and implemented the website. Each of the service branch pages (heating engineers, plumbers, electricians and general builders) as well as the services page have a cartoon, custom drawn by the renowned Charles Barsotti, adding much needed humour to what is normally a crisis situation for home owners.
The News and About Us sections are dynamic so that Service Corps can update these in-house, especially as the content of the About Us section are testimonials rather than the traditional corporate blurb.
This was a delightful project to work on - and it turns out that on-IDLE had a water leak that sprung just before a meeting with Service Corps - and they were happy to help and give advice and come back the same afternoon to fix the problem. Their website is right, they probably are the best plumbers, heating engineers, general builders and electricians in London.

Sto UK launched an updated version of its first ever online shop soft launched initially in summer 2007, developed by on-IDLE.
After a 6 month trial, customer feedback and usability analysis provided strong indicators for improvements that can be made to the online store in both work flow and product selection. New site developments included an expansion of the unique colour-wheel paint selector, an texture selector as well as a wish list for registered customers. Further, the buying process was much simplified by allowing a one-step registration and purchasing process. The improvements and site re-launch has resulted in an increase of 400% in sales, as well as a 50% drop in uncompleted transactions.
Recently, StoLotusan Color self-cleaning paint and StoClimasan Color odour-removing paint were both used on the project decribed as the 'Sugar Cube' on the well-known Channel 4 series, Grand Designs. This, together with a new SEO strategy, has driven significant new traffic to the Sto Shop.

Satellite Marketing Communications commissioned on-IDLE to design and develop the first UK ASDA Images Library launched mid-January 2008.
Like many large corporations, ASDA now saves in-house time and resources by making available approved images to all suppliers and agencies from a centralised database. The current images database is free to access, but registration is approved by one of the lead ASDA agencies prior to access being granted.
Suppliers and agencies are not only able to search and browse available images, but are also able to upload new approved images to the database. on-IDLE worked with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to facilitate the upload of large resolution image files both directly or via FTP.
