FDMX launched featuring new barcode technologies

3 weeks ahead of schedule the new Film and Digital Media website goes live.

In addition to a more user-centered design, social networking and web 2.0 features; the DigitalFlare team also generated a customer relations management area to manage online bookings for courses, events and master-classes.

With some large events looming such as 'a Q&A session with director Terry Gilliam' and a series of seminars to be held at the '2009 Canne Film festival' it was critical that a proficient booking system was in place.

The booking management portal was custom-built using PHP, whilst real-time online payments are processed by European payment service provider Realex.

DigitalFlare also explored new technologies which generate unique barcodes on event tickets which can subsequently be scanned by staff members to monitor attendance figures.

FDMX Project Underway

Over the past few months DigitalFlare has been working closely with the University of Hertfordshire to help redevelop the existing 'FDMX' website. FDMX or the "Film and Digital Media Exchange" is a Higher Education Innovation Fund Project. It was formed to promote and encourage film and digital media growth in the South-East of England.

The new website is set to enhance user interaction and involvement with the addition of user-generated content in the forms of: social-networking communities, blogs, wikis, polls and RSS feeds. In addition; FDMX site users will be able to upload their own work and pre-book events, conferences and expos.

For this mammoth project the DF team have opted to use Jelsoft's vBullitin 3.0 to act as a backbone for the site, but with many new custom-built features and tweaks.

We hope to launch the new FDMX website November 2008.

BIO3 Website now live!

BIO3, established in 2008, is a business venture based around the provision of access to a large modern category 3 biological containment facility and a team of highly experienced scientists with backgrounds in all areas of biosciences research and commercial biotechnology ventures.

The BIO3 website, designed, developed and hosted by DigitalFlare, was completed within a tight 2 week deadline. This small 6-page site includes a 360' panorama of the facility and a content management section to enable staff to edit, add and remove pages to/from the website in house with minimum effort.

The new website is coded to XHTML 1.0 Strict W3C standards and is therefore highly accessible and fully web-standards compliant.

Sales more than double for Christmas at DigitalFlare's client stores

Well, the 2007 figures are in and almost across the board we have seen large increases in turnover for the ecommerce stores we have designed, built and hosted. According to The Retail Bulletin, "Online retailers experienced a bumper Christmas in 2007, with trading growth at least equalling that of 2006. In a Christmas poll conducted among a sample of small and medium businesses selling online, respondents reported an average 80% increase in turnover for November and December 2007, compared with the same two months in 2006." Our stores beat that! The average increase for the two months was 120%. The increases were not uniform however and retailers who had planned their Christmas marketing and fulfilment processes did significantly better....

Revere London - Website Launch Event (www.reverelondon.com)

Last night the launch of 'Revere London' took place at London's Mayfair Land-Rover Showroom. Over 250 of London's social elite and industry heavyweights attended the high profile event, enjoying champagne and canapes on arrival. The event marked the beginning of a new era for prestige automotive accessories and an unrivalled bespoke vehicle tailoring service. For us the event also marked the launch of the Revere website, which Digital Flare were commissioned to develop back in January 2007.

From bumper to bumper, interior to exterior, Revere automotive conversions exude beauty, refinement, sophistication and heritage. With this in mind, the main emphasis of design was to develop an online presence in a class far above and beyond. Crafted in alluring beige/brown tones whilst utilising the fluidness of Adobe's Flash plug-in - the Revere London website allows users to bask in the rich heritage of the brand, whilst navigating with ease.
