EMMA-UK, The UK’s biggest car audio competition, has once again asked Cyborg Industries to design, host and manage their website for the upcoming 2011 season.

The new website features a whole host of features including flickr image gallery integration, a mini forum, calendars and blogs.

We’ve also been commissioned to develop an on-line store to compliment the site, which will be launched later this year.

Along with the website, EMMA-UK has also asked us to produce a full stationary pack, including letter heads, and business cards, as well as banners for their show stands.

When Shaun from HairCosmeticsLtd.com brought us a white smart car and the simple brief “Make it funky & modern” we got to work. After approving the design Shaun dropped off the car at our workshop in Sunderland, later that day it was ready to be picked up, Shaun simply said “I love it”.

Every now and again, we get the chance to sit back and think about our own websites, once in a blue moon the chance turns into an opportunity to put these thoughts into action. After 3 years, we’ve finally managed to get some time to update the Cyborg Industries website, with this update, we’re treating ourselves to content management, so we should be able to make the site updates more frequent, particularly now we can update it using our iPhone plus, it’s always good to practice what we preach. We’re also looking to wind a number of our satellite sites / sub brands back into one, namely pinkcyborg.co.uk, our web design service site and silvercyborg.co.uk, our hosting service site, we believe this will help give our visitors a more clear view of all the services we provide on one neat website.

Happy Birthday UKHCC

Slice & Dice

Andrew — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 08:09:39 +0000

Ever since WYSIWYG web design programs became popular everyone and their dog thinks they can sell their services as web designers. During my time in various web design communities I have seen literally hundreds of “What do you think of my site” posts where the site is so badly made it makes me cringe.

Graphic Designers playing with web design are the worst culprits of bad web design for the simple fact they have the talent to make a website look really nice, but don’t have the technical know how to build it properly, resulting in a website which in more cases than not;

takes an age to load
isn’t accessible to people with disabilities

doesn’t load on any other browser but internet explorer
requires the end user to fiddle with their monitor settings to be able to read it
isn’t clear about how it should be navigated
is resolution specific.

A graphic designer building a website is similar to a decorator building a house, at the end of the day if you want a house building you hire specialists in house construction, architects, brick layers, roofers, glaziers, etc.

We have graphic designers who are great at just that, graphic design, we also have web designers, programmers, and advertisers and without all of them injecting there skills into a website, there is always going to be something missing.
