Would you like to save 50% on some great restaurants? Well that’s what you get with The Phantom Card – a membership which gives you great discounts at hundreds of venues. Beaver Design has worked closely with The Phantom Card over recent months to develop the website for this special discount card.

The new website is stylish, clear and easy to use and the layout is simple, with information presented in a clear and concise way. As well as giving information about the card and its corporate benefits, a main feature of the site is the venue map.

Venue Map

With some straight-forward filters and search boxes, members of The Phantom Card can find a variety of great venues to use their discount with the online Venue Map and site users can search via a postcode, the type of venue they want and so on.

This venue map system is managed and kept up-to-date by The Phantom Card, using a custom built content management system from Beaver. This means that The Phantom Card can add and amend venues whenever they need to.

The finished result is a simple, comprehensive site, with great offers and venues for the members. To find out more about The Phantom Card or to just view the site, please go to:

As you may have read recently, Hertford-based fashion boutique Ginger Lillie has relaunched online! Beaver Design worked closely over the past few months with Alison Bates, owner of Ginger Lillie, to create this exciting new website.

The site is an online catalogue for Alison’s cutting-edge fashion boutique and features a full e-commerce system. The website also uses the very latest usual social bookmarking tools and blog, which are there to help visitors connect and refer their friends to the website.

The styling and design of the site is reflection of the artistic brand of Ginger Lillie and uses a simple layout to best showcase the fashion the boutique sells. In addition, this design is carried through to other services, such as Twitter.

“Beaver Design are great and have done a fantastic job of creating the boutique site for Ginger Lillie. It has all the features we wanted and with it now online, we’re looking forward to the future!” - Alison Bates, Ginger Lillie

A Thousand Words

The website is full of photos of Ginger Lillie’s wide range of products and these can all be managed, changed and kept up-to-date by Alison. On the website the photos are shown using a simple and intuitive preview tool, which means that customers can get a helpful close-up look at the clothing before adding to their basket (take a look >).

Ginger Lillie is a very visual website, so it was critical to have lots of quality pictures for people to browse through. The web is predominantly a visual experience so it’s important to make the most of that by showing off your products at their best.

At the beginning of 2010, the School Governors One Stop Shop (SGOSS) approached Beaver Design with a brand new design concept they had created, for a new website they wanted to have built. As the main resource for would-be and serving school governor volunteers across England, the main aim was to make it up-to-date, easy to manage and feature the most relevant information for the volunteers, schools and local authorities who work with SGOSS.

“We decided our website needed an entire overhaul in terms of design, content and navigation. After a lot of work in-house over a number of months, we came up with a design we wanted and took it to Beaver for them to turn into an actual website.” - SGOSS

The website design was first done in-house at SGOSS, before being given to Beaver to turn it into a reality – in addition to building the new and more user friendly CMS to support the new site...

“Beaver also built a new and easier to use CMS for the site, which we have full control of, enabling us to add content where necessary and make any changes we need to and overall making such process a lot quicker.” - SGOSS

Beaver Design has recently designed and delivered a unique floor game for Ericsson, as part of their ‘2012 Strategy’ campaign. Ericsson asked us to design a version of ‘Twister’ using graphic elements from their poster and DVD promotion, laid out across the game board. Beaver also designed the spinners which will be used to play the game, just like the 'Twister' game from MB.

The game is going to be used to help employees find out more about the the upcoming Ericsson '2012 Strategy' in a fun and light-hearted way.

“The internet is as vital as water and gas”, wrote Gordon Brown today in an article for The Times. In the article, which preceded today’s Digital Britain report, the Prime Minister outlined the government’s plans for investment into the internet.

The Prime Minister stated, “Just as the bridges, roads and railways built in the 19th century were the foundations of the Industrial Revolution that helped Britain to become the workshop of the world, so investment now in the information and communications industries can underpin our emergence from recession to recovery and cement the UK's position as a global economic powerhouse.”
