Ericsson's pie which never goes out-of-date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 created a one page website for Grassform Ltd's Protection Mat products. The idea was to give the Protection Mats a space on the web that would provide visitors with all the information they needed, without having to go through the main Grassform site.

This small site solution was done by Beaver to give Grassform the ability to update the page and even duplicate it, should they wish to expand the new Ground Protection Mat site.

It also links back to the Grassform main site, but the specific Protection Mat site acts as to be found easily by search engines.

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.

South Eastern Electrical recently took delivery of 2000 brochure/folders from Beaver Design, complimenting the style and content of their new website (blogged about here earlier this month).

As well as supplying the new design, artwork and final printed brochures, we carried out location photography at the SEE headquarters, supplying them with a library of different images for future use.

The design work from Beaver has given SEE two tools that are able to compliment each other and help build their corporate image.
