SpecUlite wanted particular attention to the retail work they had undertaken. The website had to be easy to navigate with simple icons for each service.

We provided a full blog system that follows the design of the website. This blog can be easily updated by SpecUlite through their content management system we implemented. This helps keep the content fresh on the website and will increase visitor engagement. At SpecUlites request we created easy to understand icon buttons for each service.

DMPM Construction - Web Design

The Brief

DMPM wanted a website that showed their professionalism as a building company. They wanted to show visitors that they are a large building company and not a man with a van. They wanted to display projects they have completed showing their range of skills. It was important that the website was easy to navigate and had a strong emphasis on their green construction credentials.

The Spec

4040 Media recommended an HTML/CSS website with 4 different layouts. One for the front page, one for the Sustainable page, one for the case studies, services and past projects pages. The website would be easy to extend with further case studies as each has its own page. This will allow DMPM to grow the site as time goes on. The website is heavily focused around pictures of jobs and past projects. This allows visitors to get a real understanding of what DMPM do and how they do it.

WSR Recycling Web Design

WSR Recycling - Web Design

The Brief

4040 Media was asked to create 2 new, modern websites for WSR Recycling. WSR had 2 areas of the business that they wanted to display on the web as separate entities. Firstly their recycling business and secondly their skip hire business. The websites needed to be easy to navigate, give people all the basic information they might need and make it easy for them to get in contact with the business.

The Spec

4040 Media recommended an HTML/CSS website with a design that could be used for the 2 sites but with different colours, images and content. This would help keep the websites noticeably by the same company but also help split the services as 2 separate parts of the business..

Client Testimonial

“We were very impressed with the quality, service, professionalism and attention to detail provided. WSR were really pleased with the result and would have no hesitation in recommending 4040 Media.”

The Brief

Logic asked 4040 Media to create a new look for their website. They currently had a strong brand using the colours Red and Black. Logic wanted to keep the website very easy to use but wanted to refresh the look, make it cleaner and more modern. They wanted a full refresh that would keep their brand moving forward. They key for the website was ease of use. The old website had 2 large buttons on the front page, one for sales and one for lettings. These needed to feature on the site in some way.

The Spec

4040 Media recommended the introduction of white into the design to help make the website cleaner and easier to look at. We implemented a range of property pictures that logic had on their books at present or in the past. We kept the benefits of working with logic clear and easy to see and we made sure that the “For Sale” and “To Let” buttons were placed prominently on the front page to make viewing Logic’s properties easy to do and only 1 click away.

BCG Accountants - Email Marketing

The Brief

4040 Media was given the brief of creating an email campaign for BCG Accountants to convey the key points of the Annual Government Budget to their clients. The campaign needed to look good, be easy to understand and use and follow BCG’s brand.

The Spec

4040 Media suggested that short articles be used for each key point from the budget. We also recommended that each article link to a more in depth review of each point so their customers could read up further on the points that were of interest to them. This way we could track clicks and interaction with the campaign.

The Outcome

The email was delivered by 4040 Media a day after the budget was announced. The campaign was a success with BCG’s clients with 45% of recipients opening the campaign and 25% clicking to read more information on articles.

Client Testimonial

4040 Media provided our busy accountancy practice with a very professional and timely solution to our email marketing campaign needs. Not only was the service delivered on time, Matt Byrom took complete control of matters from design to delivery and his communication with my own team here made it appear to be seamless service. Well done and we will be using the service again in the future.

Bibby Electrical - Flyers

The Brief

4040 Media was asked to create an eye catching flyer for a local electricians firm. The flyer was to be handed out around local businesses for them to keep hold of for when they were in need of an electrician. The flyer was to be used as a business generation tool and therefore needed to get their key benefits across effectively.

The Spec

4040 Media recommended the flyer be printed on heavy 400gsm stock and matt laminated on both sides. The reason we suggested this is so that people were more inclined to keep hold of the cards. This would give a quality end result that is synonymous with the quality work of the electricians firm.

The Outcome

The flyers were printed beautifully with a great finish. Our client was very pleased with the result. The electricans have received an excellent return by handing these flyers out to local businesses, so much that they had to stop giving them out for a period of a few weeks as they were receiving too much work back.

The aim of the campaign was to stimulate some new business by asking their existing customers to bring a friend for a free day pass. The email needed to show off the facilities and make it easy for their customers to download the free day pass voucher.

The Spec

We recommended the use of large images to show off FX Leisure’s fantastic facilities. We also recommended a short introductory paragraph to outline the offer and a large graphic for users to click to download the voucher.

The Outcome

The campaign went well with 37% of opening recipients clicking to download the voucher. The campaign translated into a real ROI for the club with a number of vouchers used and a number of new member sign ups.

Next Steps Nursery - Brochures

The Brief

4040 Media was asked to create a new brochure design for Next Steps Nursery. The design needed to refresh the old brochure, be personal to the setting and convey the values of the nursery. The nurseries brand colour and logo’s were provided, otherwise 4040 Media were given a free reign to create a brochure fitting the nurseries requirements.

The Spec

4040 Media used a selection of real photographs taken at the nursery. We wanted to use the images as large as possible as we felt they were extraordinary and really showed the values, feelings and passion the nursery had for looking after their children. We printed the brochures on good quality 170gsm gloss stock to give a nice weighty feel. The brochures were 16pp A5 saddle stitched to the left hand side. The deep purple colour and excellent images really worked well.

The Outcome

Next steps nursery were extremely happy with the brochures and will be using them for the coming term.
