Ericsson's pie which never goes out-of-date

Ericsson have recently commissioned Beaver Design to create a user-friendly calendar for their intranet. The calendar displays upcoming corporate events with the year broken down into sections, in the form of a pie graph.

Ericsson is a long-standing client of Beaver Solutions (sister company to Beaver Design) and we are proud to continue the relationship with web design.

A staff member using the calendar can highlight a month for a short bullet point breakdown, or select the month to see each day seperately. When a member of staff finds an event they are interested in, all they need to do is click a link which puts the event in their Outlook diary.

Events can be added direct from event management's Outlook system and managed on the calendar through a CMS system. This friendly, simple and unique calendar gives Ericsson another effective way to communicate with their staff.

Beaver Design has finished work on another site for our client Rapier Group, who are the company responsible for managing the 1st Pan-Asian Computerised Tomographic Colonography Congress (it just rolls of the tongue!).

The website from Beaver gives attendees a place to register for the event and pay for their place. This system is controllable by Rapier Group via a custom built CMS system. As the conference date gets closer, prices for the tickets auatomatically increase, as pre-set by Rapier Group.

Delegates can log in and register their place, with the system remembering their details on return visits. The site is designed to provide delegates with all the detail they will need for this three day conference and since the event is being hosted in China, the site features both English and Chinese text. In addition, the site has an international payment system from World Pay, to allow payment from the multinational users.

Our long standing client East Village has worked again with Beaver Design to revamp their web site, giving it a more urban feel and distinctive look. Both parts of the site – Bar&Kitchen and Club - still feature the same innovative CMS functionality, allowing East Village to update the content themselves.

It also features a clear and easy-to-use menu system, adding a functional style to the feel of the web site.

Beaver Design has created a complete custom built website for the pharmaceutical company – Kudos Vitamins. The design of the site is easy to navigate with a clear menu. With information about Kudos Vitamins, the site also has information about how vitamin and herbal supplements can benefit particular lifestyles.

The web design features an e-commerce function, allowing visitors to browse products and order securely online. Users can log back in after their first use and see a history of previous orders, as well the website as saving their details to save time entering them again.

A major benefit of the web design for Kudos Vitamins has been the creation of a completely bespoke Content Management System (CMS) by Beaver Design. It allows Kudos Vitamins to independently control all the content of their site; altering images, lists of products available, special offer prices and product details. 

It also provides further functionality to control the way the pages themselves are coded, allowing them to add keywords and alter page titles, making the site ‘search engine friendly’. A unique ‘Body Part Diagram’ for use with the product descriptions is also completely editable through CMS, adding further functionality for Kudos Vitamins.

Beaver Design was chosen by Chase Residential Lettings for a web design that would incorporate their existing brand and logo from Hannah Morris, as well as the professional photography from Mark Atkin.

Beaver Design, based in Ware, Hertfordshire, used a simple layout with contemporary design which creates an easy-to-use site for visitors on the web. The lettings available are presented clearly, with a gallery of photos to navigate. Tenants and landlords can fill in their details online, stating what they are looking for, giving Chase a simple way to gather prospective clients.

The site can be regularly updated by Chase, using a CMS admin system, which allows them to add properties, amend details and upload additional photos.
