Christmas Aftermath

Now that we’re well into January it seems like a good time to do a quick round up of what we got up to towards the back-end of last year. While the 3 months from October through December were our most productive to date, we made sure we had plenty of fun working on some Christmas campaigns to keep us in a festive mood.

The Rizla Advent Giveaway was a resounding success attracting more than 20 times the amount of web traffic we’d usually expect to see in an average month. We reached 20,000 twitter timelines within 12 hours of go-live and in a single month increased Rizla’s subscriber database by 75%.

In amongst this, we also managed to

  • Launch 3 websites for a global leader in the manufacture of animal nutrition additives: Anpario, Optivite & Kiotechagil.
  • Develop a flash-based Christmas card for a prominent Manchester design agency
  • Pick up a brief to develop a series of mobile apps for a high-profile Northern Utilities company
  • Convince York St John University that we are the right web design studio to support their 2012 marketing activities

All in all we had a, great finish to a successful year which has lead on to a very promising start to 2012

Rizla Desktop Widget App

Rizla Online Application Design and Development

Following the success of the music player we built into the Rizla home page, we developed a standalone player so Rollers can enjoy the exclusive tracks and image galleries from the comfort of their own desktop.

By using Adobe’s Air application we were able to take a good chunk of the Flash code base we developed for the website and generate a cross-platform app for use on both Mac and PC.

Rollers can download the desktop app from the Rizla website giving them free unbridled access to years of exclusive festival tunes and image galleries.

Rizla welcomes the summer with a brand new website

The New Rizla Website

We’re proud to announce a brand new addition to our growing portfolio – the all new Rizla website developed in collaboration with Original Online, Third Rock and Khanh Tu.

The focal point of the website is the Rizla Player which pulls together hours of exclusive tunes, video interviews and photography gathered from years of Rizla parties and festivals into an innovative media player featured on the home page. Current Plump favorites are Greg Wilson (Rizla Riverboat Shuffle 2009) and Gruff Rhys (Lovebox 2009).

A new website for Business Advantage

We’ve just launched a new website for Business Advantage – a joint venture between Sheffield Hallam and Sheffield University.

Business Advantage Website by Plump Digital

As a progression from the original brand launch site we built back in June 2010, the site is now focused on communicating the unique Business Advantage offering and daily operations much more clearly.

By implementing a powerful Content Management System (CMS), team members from both Sheffield Hallam and Sheffield University have a host of intuitive content management tools at their fingertips to ensure their website is kept up to date easily and cost effectively. We’ve also re-designed the navigation system, calls to action and colour palette to accommodate the additional content and enhance the user experience whilst remaining true to brand guidelines.

Built around the Silverstripe CMS framework, we’ve been able to implement a completely bespoke site structure, set of page templates and call-to-action system to allow Business Advantage a huge amount of flexibilty and control within a site that remains functional and user friendly throughout.

Key features of the CMS include:

  • Full site content management
  • Course management
  • News & events
  • Promo-panel manager
  • Data trap / contact form
  • Image library & manager
  • User group & permissions management

We can’t show you around the CMS, but if you’re interested to know more about it, click here. Otherwise, feel free to have a look around the new Business Advantage site – it’s at www.business-advantage.org
