“We’ve all seen arguments in the design community that dismiss the role of beauty in visual interfaces, insisting that good designers base their choices strictly on matters of branding or basic design principles. Lost in these discussions is an understanding of the powerful role aesthetics play in shaping how we come to know, feel, and respond.”

The initial design for this project was produced by Phillip Close at closeupmedia.co.uk and we then began the task of turning the design into a full featured shopping cart system. The client also requested additional functionality for the site and after meeting with the client to discuss their requirements we set about designing a solution.

The first solution was the “what goes with what” utility on the site – the client wanted the visitors to the site to be able to find the perfect wine to match a certain food. The solution we came up with provided a user friendly interface to the food/wine matching database which returned a selection of wines to provide a perfect compliment to their meal.

The client also wanted to offer customised wine labels, perfect for a gift or a special occasion. Inknpixel provided Wine 2 Dine 4 with a solution that allowed their potential customers to input a message, choose a label style and actually see a representation of how the label would look.

The client was more than happy with the solutions provided by us and has kindly submitted a testimonial.

Today sees the launch of the website for Pure-Finish.com, designed and built by us at inknpixel.

The brief included the initial design of the companies logo and identity and then to carry that through to a website aimed at their existing and potential window cleaning customers. Inknpixel came up with a clean, uncluttered, modern design which also portrayed their business is a run by a friendly, husband and wife team who provide a personal service to its clients.

The site was produced using clean, hand-coded CSS and HTML with elements of Javascript and PHP for the form submission and is designed with accessibility and web standards in mind.
