Affordable blog Design fresh from Bristol, UK

We’re right in the throws of finishing off a truckload of new projects, but it’s been a while so I thought I’d take a while to update this poor, neglected blog with some recent work.

First off we’ve got DylanBland.co.nz, the blog of a New Zealand based entrepreneur. Dylan was one of the easiest clients I’ve ever worked with and I thoroughly look forward to the guided tour he’s promised me next time I’m in Auckland

Secondly, a rather prominent site, . and Chris Garrett (not me, the other one) are 2 of the biggest name’s in blogging, so when they asked us to design & build a site for their upcoming book we were more than happy to help them out!

Once again, Chris, Indranil and Dave did an awesome job and left us with two very happy clients Indranil unfortunately broke his leg a few weeks ago, so best wishes to him!

We’ve just finished off the redesign of Business Pundit for Seawaves Technology. With a simple brief of “don’t want it to look like a blog” and “big bold headers” Chris had plenty of creative freedom and responded with this fantastic magazine-esque design which Indranil then coded in record breaking time.

This was a fun project to manage and I think the whole team learnt a lot in the process. We’re looking forward to some more projects like this

I promised late last year that I’d bung up some photos of our Moo bling, well here they are!

We’ve now got plenty of cards and stickers to keep us going, so you’d better watch out!

Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas and New Year break, everyone on the 449 team certainly did And wow, what a long break it was! But now we’re back to the grindstone and what better way to kick off the new year than with some updates to the portfolio?

First of all we’ve got the Sensational Color blog network, currently consisting of , and . New blogs are being added at a rapid pace, giving you everything you need to know about colour in the home, the workplace and anywhere else you can think of! Working with Kate Smith, a leading colour expert, was a fantastic experience and we wish her a very prosperous new year!

Secondly, we’ve got Nate Ritter. Nate’s tagline for his blog is “community, entrepreneurship and business strategy”, he definitely knows his stuff and is a top bloke to work with! Since the redesign he’s written a fantastic post on using Twitter (via several other social platforms) to help communities in crisis, it’s a fantastic read (especially for geeks) and is reflective of the sort of content you can expect from his blog. All the best for 2008 to Nate too!

There’s heaps more work in the pipelines, aswell as some exciting new posts on the blog and a few tweaks to the 449 site. We’re hoping to release a few self-initiated projects in the first half of 2008 aswell, so stay tuned!
