barry.khan — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:51:04 +0000

We have been asked to produce our first iPhone app for one of our existing estate agent clients.

We are all so excited, we thought we’d post this straightaway and release further detail when we’ve completed the project!

With an established business of nine stores throughout the UK supplying a wide selection of beautiful handcrafted jewellery and scarves, The Jewellery Stop are already well known for their creativity and value for money.

Kaweb put together an ecommerce solution that enables the easy updating of stock as well as tools to aid quick and simple despatching of goods to customers.

Supported by an HTML email campaign prior to the festive season, we hope The Jewellery Stop are now set to make a name for themselves online.

Setting up Autoresponders for Email Accounts that use the Plesk Control Panel

Inky — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:31:08 +0000

Need to setup an email to auto respond to emails that are sent to you while you are out for the day or on annual leave? This post outlines how you can do just that directly within your email server (ie. as oppose to your email client/software). This post is based on the Plesk (Linux) Control Panel (Version 8.6), but should apply in general to all versions of Plesk that feature the Autoresponder service.

Login

If you are an administrator, then first login to your Plesk Control Panel and select the domain in question (if you have more than one), click on the Mail icon and then click on the Autoresponders icon.

If you are a general email user, login to your Control Panel using your email user name and password and then click on the Autoresponders icon.

Autoresponder Admin

Here you are able to ‘Add New Autoresponder’ – and as add many as you like.

The ‘Add New Autoresponder’ screen allows various setting and is pretty straightforward…

After naming your Autoresponder (eg. Holiday) you can then choose to forward the original email on to another user (eg. work colleague). Once you have then cofigured the conditions for which a responder must be applied, you are then able to detail your automated response text (that will be sent back to the email sender).

Finally, you can set limts as well as add an attachment to your response emails should you wish.

When you are done, be sure to enable each autoresponder you have setup, this is done by toggling it on/off. Also ensure the overall Autoresponder is set to on/off (which turns on/off the entire autoresponder service) otherwise your autorepsonders will not work as planned.

In London Properties

Inky — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:35:55 +0000

In London required a more sophisticated solution than their current site, and one which allowed the user to search and find property with the minimum amount of fuss.

This was achieved through clear calls to action, as well as user-journey data being stored so as to hone the site’s content according to clicks or pages visited.

Shields & Co.

Inky — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:15:15 +0000

Shields required us to relook at their entire online offer and ensure better cohesive branding throughout the site (as it was made up of Vebra-based property pages as well as a framed solution from another third party software provider). This also included some re-organising of their domains.

An improved user-journey was achieved though key placement of tools (especially on the property page) and our mappr (mapping) solution added the finishing touch to the search section of the site.

A bespoke admin area was also deployed so property feed data could have additional marketing flags applied, as well as allow multiple image (any size) uploads so as to enable a supersize slideshow for selected properties.

Lewis & Wood

Inky — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:05:49 +0000

Specialising in designer fabrics and wallpapers, this client required a phased approach to their new site build.

With a wide range of colourways (and their images) attributed to each product, the first phase has included the integration of a product admin area so that the entire range can administered by Lewis & Wood. This admin area includes the functionality to tag colour attributes against a vast array of products. On the front end of the site, this allows the user to find products using the colour filter option within the product navigation – which is important for users who only know that they have a certain colour in mind.

Add to this an extremely powerful ‘live’ search function, which returns image-based results (as the user types) and a swish sample ordering feature (making use of a whole load of javascript and AJAX requests) the whole site makes for a more pleasant user experience which should encourage more enquiries.

Schools Now Feature on mappr Service

barry.khan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:08:21 +0000

We’ve recently completed another phase of work on our mappr service.

This now means that schools are shown on the map, allowing for users to see where they are located within the area they are searching.

Denoted by a a new icon, Infant, Primary and Secondary schools are each highlighted with a link to their latest Ofsted Report.

We will soon be rolling this new feature out to our client’s websites on a site by site basis.

Police Application

Inky — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:16:48 +0000

With their old site coded in tables, but a reasonable standing in search engine optimisation terms, Kaweb were charged with developing a new skin for the site as well as integrating some better onsite SEO code so as to further improve the site’s natural ranking status.

Prodoor

Inky — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:08:58 +0000

Fabstore required an ecommerce solution so that their customers could design and order a composite door online. It also required that a full visual representation of the door be produced prior to purchasing.
The solution we produced made use of Flash for the door build work which was then incorporated into the existing ecommerce solution we built for them.

These guys wanted something different. It had to be fairly contemporary and yet ensure long-standing branding (built up over a number of years/mergers/domains) did not go awry.

Working with a third party marketing consultant, this was achieved though a large logo, strong use of the corporate colour and then some brighter illustrative imagery that gave it a modern twist.

The home page is certainly different – boldly honing the options for the user through definitive user journeys that will be the most widely used (ie. sales, lettings, contact).
