CASE STUDIES OF OUR RECENT WORK
Since 1998 3B Digital has had the opportunity to work with a rich variety of clients - big & small, old & new - each time enjoying a unique insight into "other people's business".
Below is a fair representation of our current client list, all of whom maintain an ongoing relationship with 3B long after their development projects have been completed.
RSM had been a valued client of ours since 2013. When in 2015 they began their global roll-out of their new corporate brand, and we were delighted and honoured to be brought into the process right from the very beginning.
The requirements BADA have of us vary enormously over the years; they host and manage one of the largest and most prestigious annual Fine Arts & Antique Fairs in the UK.
We decided to build the Royal Albert Memories site to allow people to share those stories, bringing them all together in one place rather than just siloed on the various social media platforms.
Database sites are beasts. By definition they grow, and by design they are adaptable and endlessly re-interpretable. They require a depth of imagination and technical acumen to design properly, as well as no small amount of bravery (to take on) that only comes with experience.
The challenge here was to transpose the look and feel of an existing Joomla site that we'd built for PP years previously onto what can be a fairly restrictive template (at least in terms of complete layout and styling freedom).
RedDoor Homes came to us with a beautiful but a very slow website. They explained to us their USP - creating engaging video content to help prospective & existing clients. Their portfolio includes virtual viewings, tips for landlords, tenants, homeowners; reviews of local cafes, restaurants & events.
A lovely challenge, this; a branding that speaks of a geographical location can very easily become a stereotypical & patronising rendering that misses the fundamentals of the proposition… in other words, it can all very quickly look a bit “touristy”..!
RKG are a creative and innovative Architectural practice and so had strong but changeable views on design and presentation. Fortunately Squarespace is ideal for the rapid prototyping and deployment and ideas were implemented speedily.
We hate timesheets, and have come to understand that most people do. They’re also boring, and not very accurate! Given that our clients always want transparency (one of our values), we knew we needed to use a system which was fun, accurate and simple to use.
A genuinely fascinating and engaging project, this; a presentation of a database of painted works so immersive and layered as to hold our professional and personal attention pretty much solidly for the last 7 months.
Personal brands are understandably emotionally charged personal statements by the protagonists and digital and design agencies tread carefully where content, look and feel are concerned. But 3B saw this as a terrific opportunity to make a bold statement of intent in what is a growing market of sports personalities looking to maximise exposure online.
What singles this particular project out as a deeply satisfactory Squarespace instance is that - for once - absolutely no code injection or css overrides were required; this site is absolutely standard in terms of code and template presets, and this reflected in the fact that it was delivered for less than half of the original estimated cost.
This single page interface we recently deployed on the RSM Global site has proved extremely popular and successful. We were delighted to see it being demonstrated to their Internationally dispersed members & employees during their recent World Conference.
Theirs are not the kind of customers who are willing to accept bugs or slow loading pages because their time is too valuable. For this reason we realised that Squarespace would provide the ideal backdrop for a responsive and unique theme, without compromising on the feel of the site.
It is incredibly satisfying when a product perfectly suits the clients needs, but all the more so when it delivers greater business success.
we couldn't be happier with the overwhelming success of this project which came in on-time, under budget, and consistently delivers over expectations!
We have now delivered a completely secure and up to date responsive website that truly tells the story of this delightful and inclusive south coast school whilst maintaining clear paths to conversion for prospective parents, staff & pupils alike.
The brief was essentially very simple: maintain current functionality and content and migrate to the latest version of Joomla and a new fully responsive template.
The joint efforts of The Royal Albert hall & 3B Digital to make the public spaces at the venue more interactive, informative and dynamic continue unabated with the design & implementation of a wonderful new Kiosk Interface of the live “What’s On” data.
The "End Game", or at least the beginning of the "End Game" as regards the "digital unification" programme for Motor Sport Magazine has been to migrate the pre-existing content from Wordpress to the new Drupal installation.
Back in May we were really delighted to be approached by the Royal Albert Hall (RAH) in relation to a wall mural they’d commissioned from Peter Blake. The mural featured over 400 of the most famous artists to have appeared at the historic venue over the years.
The work we did for MediaTek, a global leader in system on chips, was commissioned by Prophet, a global brand and marketing consultancy. We have worked with Prophet on a number of high-profile digital projects – all of which have required our custom development, technical strategy and design input – and the work with MediaTek was an especially enjoyable and satisfying project experience.
The latest feature in the on-going “unification” programme for the Motor Sport magazine website(s) is the restyling of their mammoth archive resource – every issue of the magazine going back to it’s inception in the 1920s lovingly scanned, OCR’d and annotated is now delivered in the fully-responsive and beautiful new template we designed for their Database in August 2015.
Some projects, especially where measurable & quantifiable ROIs are key, require an extended “Discovery Phase” during which existing analytics and user journeys can be poured over and strategies extrapolated, and this is especially true of any project specifically involving “Conversion Optimisation”.
Every now and then a job comes our way that very quickly becomes a “labour of love” for us. The Motor Sport Magazine database is one such project and we are just delighted with the work and our new client.
Brighton College have been a client of ours for many years now and we were very happy to pitch SquareSpace to them as the platform upon which to deliver their newly launched online tribute to their fallen alumni in The Great War.
InPrint & FM Brooks needed a rapidly deployed and easy to manage blog site where they could showcase their thought leadership as well as their exhibitions & shows.
The Stationers' Company is the City of London Livery Company for the Communications and Content industries – could we have hoped for a more perfect fit with 3B?
One of the most exciting consequences of this project was that it directly put our UX Designer Greg Campbell & Creative Director Alex Bremer (ably assisted on occasion by coding input from Jordan Worner, Tom Getgood & Jack Bremer) right back at the “coalface” for the first time in a long while...
Our relationship with renowned international concert promoters Marshall Arts goes back some time now; starting with a new website back in 2010 and as time has gone by our offering to them has included highly successful Facebook Ad campaigns, Adwords, ticket distribution and broad Social Media strategising and actioning (including Facebook, Youtube & Twitter).
