New Year, New Prices

by admin | Jan 5, 2023 | News

We have kept our print prices down with inflationary pressures having been absorbed as much, and for as long, as possible. We continue to try and mitigate the situation where we can, but raw materials, power and freight costs are still increasing. These particularly affect heavy, bulky items like higher quantities of litho print, so we have had to make some increases. We appreciate any increase in price is not a welcome one so we’ll continue to monitor pricing and find the best solutions for you.

For now there will be no print price change for litho printed products of quantities of 2,500 and below.

All good things come to an end

The Support Wealden website has come to an end. It has been a brilliant initiative to be involved in and we would like to thank all of you who had a listing, contributed to the newsletters, joined in with the social media projects or participated in our Midweek Wealden broadcasts. You can still watch the first 6 broadcasts on Youtube here and the final one is on Facebook.
We had a lot of fun and it certainly gave us something to do to keep us all going during lockdown! But we now need to concentrate on our own business, Hailsham Creative, so have decided to let Support Wealden go.

You can still link up with other Wealden businesses on the Support Wealden Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/SupportWealden

Austin Wright website

by admin | Apr 13, 2021 | Article, News, Websites

The brief for this website was nice and clear. Mark already had the beginnings of a site and needed to rebrand to a smarter, cleaner look. Keywords for the brief were ‘modern’ and ‘contemporary’. The site needed to portray a professional image, keep a corporate look, communicate clearly what Austin Wright does and the core values of the business.

It makes our task much easier when the client can provide all of the content in one go and Mark worked with Sarah Sheasby of The Story Shed to do just that.

Having previously designed the logo, we then decided on a complementary colour palette for the site. A little bit of creativity was required to prevent the site looking text heavy, so we made a simple ‘Hotspot’ graphic for the Blueprint For Change section. On the About page, we used a Toggle block for additional text.

We sourced suitable images for the headers for each page (always an absorbing task) and there were only a few minor text amendments once the design was completed. All in all, a very satisfactory project to work on.

Please have a look at the Austin Wright website and if you would like to discuss rebranding of your site, do get in touch with us.

Artist’s website

by admin | Apr 9, 2021 | Article, News, Websites

It was a real pleasure to work on creating this website for the artist, David Bartlett.

The brief was for an online catalogue of David’s work, divided up into several galleries, in a clear and uncluttered format. The website is a record of his life’s work, from his student days to the present. In David’s words:

It takes visitors on a gallery tour through a selection of a lifetime’s art output, where the function of my art practice, has been to chart life’s journey: sensory, emotional and intellectual

Please do have a look at the site – we honestly love the art. It was a challenge to find the best way to create the galleries. After trying several plugins and different options we finally opted for a simple approach to displaying the images. In discussion with David, we divided the work up into three main periods, each with sub-galleries. The page shows a selection of images, appearing as you would view them on the wall in an exhibition, with each image opening in a lightbox for closer viewing.

Support Wealden and beyond

It doesn’t stop here

Our Support Wealden initiative is going forward

When we first set up the Support Wealden website, we had envisaged it being a short term project. Something to help businesses let customers know their new opening hours, and for the local community to find out how they could help. Supporting a business on social media, or just keeping in touch, meant a lot.

Now what?

Well, with the lockdown continuing, many businesses have changed the way they work. Some are offering Click and Collect services, some have gone completely online. While others have decided they just need to close and ride it out until they can re-open. But everyone is adapting. We are busy updating their listings on the website, as soon as we get new information.

We have created additional features on the site – logos and images with the listings, some featured listings and a Special Love section. This is for businesses to share offers just with other businesses listed on the site. A social media campaign will start in February and all of our monthly newsletters can now be downloaded from the News page.

Once we can all start meeting again, we will have a get together in the gardens of Pickhams. Until then we are going to start an online event, interviewing one business owner and featuring some music, with a Question and Answer section so viewers can contribute too.

Keep an eye on the website for full details and sign up for the Newsletter.
