2010 is yours (for floors)

2010 is here and the new website for flooring company Yours4Floors has gone live! This brand new e-commerce site, designed and developed by Beaver Design, has given the North London based flooring business a strong online presence to sell their products and reach more customers.

All of Yours4Floors’ products can be ordered online through the site and paid for directly through PayPal. The site uses a clear menu structure to help visitors quickly find what they are looking for and even calculates how much flooring is required, based on the total floor area – so it’s easy for customers to find out how many packs are needed.

As always with new business ventures, a cost effective site was key for Yours4Floors. With this in mind, we created a simple content management system which allows Yours4Floors to add, edit and remove products to the site. This simple system means that the site will stay up-to-date and relevant over the coming months.

Disney designs for digital signs

Every week, new movies are released and shown throughout the country’s cinemas. This means that each week, new posters are needed to promote the current and upcoming movie releases. For Showcase Cinemas, this means digital posters – since throughout their Bristol, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham venues, they are using a complete digital signage system provided by Beaver Group.

The Beaver Group provide weekly designs and content for Showcase’s upcoming movies. The artwork comes direct from the movie distributors to Beaver Group, where we edit, animate and create the digital signage posters for the cinema.

Because the physical space a digital signage screen takes up can be reused again and again, more than just one poster can be shown on the same screen. This means that Beaver create the posters for smaller movies, as well as the big films from Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Disney and others.

Salvation through digital menus

As part of the ongoing service we provide for Showcase Cinemas, the Beaver Group, designs new promotions for the concession stand menu boards to tie in with current movie releases. Recently, this has been in the form of a number of pieces for promotional content to tie in with the releases of Terminator Salvation and the Ron Howard thriller, Angels & Demons.

Along with all design services we provide (graphic, web & digital signage), the content design for promotions on digital menu boards is a specialist service which the Beaver Group provides.

Project update: Content creation for Showcase Cinemas

Since the first Showcase Cinema de Lux site was completed in Derby last May, Beaver has continued providing content design and support services to this award winning project.*

Each week, new movie posters and promotions are created and published in the three Showcase Cinema de Lux venues. Using digital signage instead of traditional print allows the spillway signage to use subtle animations to draw peoples attention as they move around the cinema. Beaver provides these content creation services in-house, along with all the technical support.
