Web graphics don’t have to be dull. An animated flash-based micro site developed to raise the profile of a popular and every Kitsch fashion house in London – designed by Kent Website Designers Creative Venom. The design features user interaction such as ‘unzipping’ pages to reveal content about the company; a union jack puzzle, game; locating Elvis’ blue suede shoes, as well as playing on a fruit machine and having a game of darts. The site is set to evolve into a 12 month long social media campaign and the ideas will definitely fall further from the wall as we progress – well that’s if Creative Venom are left to run loose!

Creative Venom have been busy developing a website solution for White Management. Vickie who runs the successful PR and Management business approached Creative Venom in Kent several weeks ago to discuss her requirements for the site.

The site needed to communicate professionalism as well as a portrayal of her personality and dynamism. Vickie works with a number of Talents including Carla Romano, Julie Forsyth and Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The site needed to provide a Profile page for Clients as well as a News/Blogroll for all media snippets surrounding White Management.

Website Design for the People of Kent

Posted by James Palmer-Jones On December - 13 - 2010

The People of Kent like to have good Website Design too!

Kent’s Creative Venom have been busy designing website for near on ten years. As when a lot of businesses start up we served a very localised area and our catchment was very much Kent. We soon grew and word-of-mouth recommendations were leading us to pitch further and further afield. In our second year of business were were building Websites and Producing Graphic Design for IT businesses outside of Kent and having regular meetings with Marketing Agencies in London. This was an early indicator for us that we could have a fruitful Kent Design Agency on our hands.

We now produce Websites not just in Kent; that provide solutions for a whole manner of Industry type. We work with small local Bakeries right the way through to national Banks and Building Societies. Therefore we have a lot of experience about Customer Needs – who wants what – but also the ability to steer and recommend the client correctly and cost effectively. All our clients utilise our expertise in terms of advice given and we are therefore working on Internet Development Strategies as well particular key tasks and day to day building of Websites.

Below is a work-in-progress. This is for a client who is based in Faversham Kent and need a complete Website Design and Development Re-think. We have had to go right back to the drawing board with this one. Their business structure changes frequently so they need a responsive Website – one that is easily adaptable to the outside factors that affect the day to running of the business.

Creative Venom have come up with not only a look and feel that coincides with the exiting branding and marketing but a fluid design that will tolerate the manipulation of menus, navigation that can be edited quickly and likewise the Categories and Posts within. It is these types of Website Design in Kent and London that tend to be more successful among the major Search Engines and therefore the Website exposure is greater in general searches across the board.
