Atlas Venture launches new website with a little help from tinthumb design

Global early-stage venture capital company Atlas Venture has recently rethought its online presence, requiring a more minimal, edgier look. They asked us here at tinhtumb design to undertake the prelimanery design and consultation work and we (after 2-3 seconds) said...yes (of course).

Working with the team over at Atlas we drew up a homepage and portfolio page design which foucused on the minimal look they were after but with a structured, well thoughout postioning of the page elements, which gave a balanced, ordered dimension to the site. We designed the rest of the site before handing the project over to the design/dev team in Botson, US. Here is the finished site.

Telegraph to unveil paid-for website in September

TMG is talking to several digital agencies with a brief to overhaul Telegraph.co.uk, which features editorial content from The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph. According to sources, TMG will introduce a hybrid strat-egy, similar to the Financial Times, where users are permitted to see limited free content and then asked to subscribe.

While TMG insists that no final decision has been made, sources claim that executives believe the hybrid model is the best way to offset falling sales of the company's printed newspaper editions. In December, Telegraph.co.uk registered 31m visitors, behind Guardian.co.uk with 39m and the market-leading MailOnline with 54m, according to ABCe. A Telegraph spokesman said: 'Absolutely no decisions have been made on the introduction of a paid-content model. Like all publishers, TMG continually evaluates the developments in the digital sector.'

Business website ties in with Tv's Dragons’ Den

Bank of Ireland has launched a new website offering advice to small business start-ups to coincide with tonight’s episode of Dragons’ Den, the first in the new series. Allaboutbusiness.ie provides an interactive forum which enables owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to trade knowledge and experiences and stay informed about key business developments.

The bank, which is sponsoring the show, has teamed up with Eightytwenty/Interactive to create the site, which gives business people the opportunity to chat with each other during the show. ‘‘Bank of Ireland asked us to develop a Dragons’ Den website," said Philippe Brodeur, chief operations officer at Eightytwenty/Interactive. ‘‘We suggested that, rather than creating a website for the duration of the show, we would build an SME-focused website to provide guidance and support for the thousands of Irish SMEs." more

Atom Electrical - redesigned site looks....electric?

A couple of years ago we designed, coded and hosted a website for the fine elecrical contractors Atom Electrical. Times pass and fashions change and a new website that targetted domestic work as well as specialist work was neccesary.

We though a clean, user friendly design was in order, with large, relevant images and relevant copy that made it clear what service was being provided.

The new site is here. Take a look...
