DR Solicitors are a niche law firm that specialise in law for the medical profession. I love DR Solicitors’ approach to business: flexible, expert and incredibly professional. Their new website really communicates their status as one of the leading niche law firms and certainly seems to be paying off in terms of attracting new business and also new partners to the firm.

Chief Executive Nils Christiansen comes from a management consultancy background and brings an appreciation for the value in technology and that additional dimension that comes from an external perspective. Daphne Robertson (the DR in DR Solicitors – the fact it also stands for doctor is a very happy accident!) brings the passion, focus on people and knowledge that their clients rate so highly.

I’m so pleased that DR Solicitors have a website that reflects their business standing and that they can be proud of

In Nil’s own words:

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you and your team have put in. I realise that we have been quite a demanding client, but we are delighted with the end product. I was presenting at a conference last night and it was great to finally be able to say with pride ‘check out our website…’

Yehey! It’s been quite a week in the studio for getting websites live. Stuart has a number of quite chunky ecommerce sites to finish off this week and next but he certainly hasn’t been twiddling his thumbs recently! I have a whole host of delicious websites and blogs to share with you over the next week or so, and I just love this blog we’ve launched for writer’s coach Leda Sammarco.

Leda has been working with us for some time now on her brand identity (you may remember me blogging it back in March?) and we recently launched her new website and blog.

I love the journal style design of Leda’s blog and the clarity and cleanliness of the design.

I know that Leda loves the ease and simplicity at which she can update her website because she sent us this lovely email last week.

Hi Stuart,

Hurray! Something gorgeous to look at! This is Chloe’s first draft for the eCommerce website design for Harvey Maria. What do you think?

Remember the current website?

Visually and structurally there was a lot to do.

Make it feel more aspirational, easy to use and something that reflects our brand values and engages our target audience were just some of the elements of our brief from Harvey Maria.

The new look is certainly much cleaner, more sophisticated and more engaging. I love the new logo (which incidentally Harvey Maria brought with them from another agency, we all felt it worked really well and it adds a lot to the new design). The grey allows the fabulous tiles to shine and lets the flooring really speak for itself.

And here’s the Collection page

And this is the collection page as it stands. Improved navigation, a more sophisticated colour palette for the product information and the ability to access other collections from the same page make a real difference to the end result I think.

So I love the new design. I love the elegance, the sophisticated colour palette and the engaging typography. But this is very much a work in progress so we would love your thoughts and feedback!

Visually this post isn’t going to be quite as exciting as the post that came before and the one that follows. But it’s an important part of the eCommerce website journey and one that I think is important to share with you. The Wireframes Between every website brief and website design comes the planning and [...]

I’m delighted to share our latest website design for Sera Golding’s MIB Band: The MIB Experience.

Sera has an enormous range of quality [...]

When was the last time you reviewed your website? I mean properly and objectively reviewed it, rather than just looked the other way when you opened the site by mistake? I always recommend my clients review their sites at least every six months, at the very least. It’s amazing how much your business will change, [...]

How easy is it for your customers to find what they are looking for? From a design perspective I’m not a fan of the giant navigational systems I’ve noticed many large retailers have been adopting to date. But from a usability perspective you just can’t knock them. Let’s take B&Q for example. It’s not the [...]
