DL Rhodes & Son is a construction company based in Nottingham offering services ranging from building repairs to civil engineering and working with private clients and local authorities.

The business needed a new web design to better reflect the quality and professionalism of their work and allow potential clients to easily find them on Google and the other search engines. They chose Absolute web design Nottingham to produce the site due to our web design and search engine optimisation (SEO) experience.

The website is built using Absolute CMS 4, allowing DL Rhodes to edit page content, maintaining a consistent and professional web design throughout. The web design is also very SEO friendly and includes dedicated modules for a showcase gallery of recent projects, plus automatic URL re-writing, SEO friendly HTML and META data to maximise their ranking on the search engines.

We are proud to announce the launch of the new Natgraph web design to coincide with a major international exhibition at FESPA 2010 in Munich.

Located in Nottingham, Natgraph is Europe's largest manufacturer of conveyor dryers utilising forced air, infra red energy and ultra violet radiation. Absolute was approached to create a new web design and CMS solution that would reflect the positioning of the business and also allow the marketing team to implement web marketing strategies and improve SEO ranking for selected key words and phrases.

As an SME manufacturer based in the East Midlands, the web design and development qualified for a match funding grant from a regional development fund. Absolute was able to secure 50% of the project costs because we are an approved member of the East Midlands Service Provider Register. Funding was used for web consultancy aimed at increasing the efficiency and sales performance of the website. This included an ecommerce module, a news module to ensure regular content updates to the homepage and on-site Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

We were recently awarded the East Midlands Development Agency contract to re-design their England's East Midlands website. The web design and development project, which attracted 80 expressions of interest and was subject to two tender stages was awarded to Absolute because we demonstrated our understanding of foreign direct investments and its impact on the region.

Announcing the new web design for the East Midlands Improvement & Efficiency Partnership (EM IEP). The website contains hundreds of publications, news articles, case studies and general information on their programmes and services, providing a central resource for 46 councils and five fire and rescue authorities across the East Midlands region.

Specialists in office interior design, shelving, racking and partitioning, Butler & Willow approached us to create a web design that more accurately matched their professional and design-focused approach. The company, who are based in Long Eaton, Nottingham and have been clients of Absolute's for ten years, wanted a website that not only looked great, but also allowed them to update and maintain key areas of the site, such as case studies, latest news and information on the services they offer. The new site, which went live this week, was 50% funded by grant assistance specifically provided for manufacturing businesses. Powered by our 'Absolute' content management system (CMS), the site features a bold, dynamic web design, supported by strong case study photography and has been positively received by the client.

We recently launched a new CMS website for security specialist Octavian Group, which offers services including manned guarding, remote monitoring and event security across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

As well as an engaging and dynamic web design, their new site includes a bespoke recruitment module that allows them to fully tailor the online application process to mirror their stringent internal processes. A candidate's application can be saved at any point in the process, allowing them to come back later to complete if necessary.

As part of the project, Octavian also commissioned us to produce its corporate literature. Designed to maintain the same styling and messaging in support of the website, the literature consists of a five colour folder and nine sector inserts. Using a combination of commissioned photography and stock images, we were able to fully represent Octavian's rapidly expanding service portfolio and provide their sales team with a flexible format to support their tendering process.

The creative concept ‘focused on your security' allowed the website and printed literature to share a common design and provide a consistent message across all of Octavian's promotional activities.

We’ve recently launched a new web site for Derby IT and recruitment consultancy Syntax. The web design represents the two main areas of the business and emphasises the strong level of integration between the two. The site uses the Absolute CMS, which allows Syntax to update and maintain any part of the site, including the integrated recruitment module, training calendar and latest news module.

The Syntax team were delighted with the web design project and pleased with the ease with which they could manage the site themselves only minimal training from our developers. Find out more about Syntax at www.syntaxconsultancy.com.

Nottingham-based education recruitment start-up commissioned Absolute to create a fully featured recruitment website that precisely addressed the particular needs of their business. The website includes a fully content managed recruitment system, which Ambition can use to add new vacancies, maintain their candidates’ accounts and update general page content throughout the site.

Getting the web design element of the project right was a high priority as it needed to reflect the unique and personal approach to recruitment that Ambition advocate. This was achieved through the use of striking photography and a friendly, easy to use design. See the site for yourself at www.ambitionprofessionals.co.uk.
