Several graphic design agencies in Manchester have very good web design skills, but few have in-house expertise in web development and web server technical support.

This was the case with the website for the Expert Patients Programme. Our web design and web development teams took the existing web design and developed it into a fully functional website with an easy to use content management system (CMS), which allows the client to update the website themselves.

The new web design is now hosted on a Linux server and we provide routine maintenance including installing patches to the CMS system, Linux server software updates and patches and website traffic reporting.

In addition to providing web design services for the Tullis Russell Group, we also provide web hosting and website support services.

We also carry out routine maintenance on their Linux web server including downloading and installing the latest server software updates and patches. We now also provide Google analytics consultancy.

We look forward to our continuing our web support services for Tullis Russell in 2010 and to increasing visitors to their website through our search engine optimisation (SEO) and SEO copywriting services.

Pixel8 were approached by Solutions for Housing with the opportunity to design and develop a contemporary, innovative and distinctive new brand, and a new website.

Solutions for Housing are a new business that offers specialist consultancy in the social housing sector. Having discussed the nature of the company and its aims, our graphic designers set to work designing the new logo, developing several design concepts, colour options and icon graphics. From this selection, our client was then able to mix and match elements from each to come to a final solution.

With this stage now signed off, our web design team were then able to take the logo and show how it may live across the website, tailoring the design capabilities to suit the specific requirements of the housing market and to also reflect the quality and professionalism of the service.

Pixel8 were delighted to be involved in the design of this exciting new brand and look forward to further creative ventures in the coming months.

As part of our continuing service for the Tullis Russell Group, we  are now providing web hosting and support for the Tullis Russell website, which is now hosted on one of our dedicated servers.

As well as transferring the current website to our servers, we have also integrated the new web design for the Papermakers section of the website, gradually bringing the look and feel of the site up to date.

The Manchester web design team at the Pixel8 design studio are very pleased to announce the launch of Beat-The-Agent.com

The website aims to connect buyers and sellers of overseas properties, without the need for estate agents or unnecessary expense.

To enable this online, Pixel8 have designed an easy to use classifieds website, which enables a seller to buy a full web page advertisement to sell their overseas property online. The system also provides help guides to the seller, by country of sale, and handy hints and tips to help maximise sales opportunity.

The process is fully automated and uploading images of a property and all the property details takes a matter of minutes. The website is also aimed at people wishing to buy property abroad, and allows you to search a vast database by country, region or price band, in three different currencies.

The extensive content management system (CMS) designed by Pixel8 features the use of rich text editors, an online image library, user and property management, news article management, email generation with PDF guide attachments and a fully integrated online payment system. The website design is on brand and uses a fresh and zesty colour scheme, enhanced by icons and banners.

We also host this website; give us a call to find out more about our ultra competitive website design and web hosting services.
