Becoming a sponsor of London pride this year, the Budweiser brand is due to have a big presence at the pride parade on the 6th of July 2019. With this, they have launched a website (Bud Pride) and designed nine different cups to highlight and represent different communities by the flags and colours they can be seen to be represented by. We worked with them and Revolt London to make a responsive and informative website design so that visitors can learn about each community in a simple and straightforward manner – backed by the colours of the cups contained within a slick and speedy slider.

Websites can exist for various different reasons. Some are simply for information exchange, others have an online shop and eCommerce element and some may have the likes of account and login aspects to fulfil certain tasks. Yet another aspect is to build hype, just like what we designed and deployed for the ByKolles Hypercar. Built in a landing page style, this project began as a way to showcase and build up a reveal for the ByKolles Hypercar – tentatively due to be released in 2020. Starting life as a one-page website, it only included the necessary information in order to entice the website visitors to want to know more. Therefore it included […]

Conscious Clickbait While we would never advocate misinformation or the dreaded ‘clickbait’, you do want your website to be designed to entice and attract visitors to click / tap to explore more and ultimately convert. Action words can really help here ‘Discover’ and ‘Act Now’ etc. as can a more personalised tone of voice by saying the likes of ‘your’ instead of ‘our’ etc. Analytics can shine a light onto what pages have the biggest bounce rate or less time spent on them – signalling the need for this approach. Goal-Orientated Content One of the strongest ways to attract return on investment is making sure that your website content is deployed with […]

Today (12th of March 2019) marks 30 years since the internet was invented. We can’t comprehend how life would be without it. What once started as an information exchange (and arguably this remains the core of the internet – even today); has evolved into an integral part of our lives that is capable of fulfilling a myriad of needs. Webheads have existed for the majority of this time, being twenty-five years young. In this time, many other website designers have come and gone. Yet we remain as a leading web agency who has survived and thrived, going from strength to strength and always looking forward. Our custom website designs have been deployed […]

The Internet in 1995 By 1995, the web was still in its early commercial years and online life looked very different. Putting this into perspective, internet was accessed using dial-up and e-mail addresses looked something like this: 1006477.328@compuserve.com. Regardless of this basic state, our innovative skills were at work for clients as we custom designed and deployed their website designs. Completed and launched in 1995, the design for the Kidsons Impey website design brought accounting and business advisory services online to reach all across the UK. Even in the early days of the internet and website design, JM knew to incorporate a powerful mixture of images, copy and colour-coded tabs to make […]
