branding

A brand is more than a mere logo. We can help you tell your whole story.
Many people believe a brand only consists of a few elements — some colours, some fonts, a logo, a slogan and maybe some music added in too. In reality, it is much more complicated than that. You might say that a brand is a ‘corporate image’. It informs everything you do as an organisation: your vision, your mission and your values and behaviours. It reflects the history of your company and determines your future.

marketing

Using a combination of marketing strategy development, market analysis, competitive position analysis, strategic option review, and market identification and segmentation all paired with a fearless approach to creativity we create effective marketing solutions to make sure your brand takes the market by storm.

Web design

A well-crafted website should help you create a memorable and distinct online presence as well as being an effective tool to help your business. We work with you, discovering and understanding your brand, to create bespoke designs and develop a multi-platform website all coded to modern best practices.

SEO and Addwords

We run successful SEO and Adwords campaigns in the most competitive sectors, using a unique blend of technical and creative expertise. Our search engine optimisation (SEO) and Addwords services are designed to increase visibility within the algorithmic ('natural', 'organic', or 'free') search results to deliver targeted traffic to your website and to ensure that the relevant customers reach your site with effective pay per click advertising.

Augmented Reality and virtual reality

We offer a range of AR design and development services which will help your company stand out from the crowd. Sugar has been spearheading Augmented Reality since its infancy and we are still pushing the technology further with every project.

Working together

Ideas are better when working together

Methods of collaborative working

Video conferencing - 360

Slack

Trello board

From a practical standpoint the project as a whole would be apprached with an agile approach which is translated into a distinct workflow. Not only are projects realised through a phased development, allowing feedback and improvement at every stage, they are built on defined milestones which allows you to see tangible progress as the project develops. Throughout the entire project we will provide you with access to a dedicated online Trello project board for tracking and create a team specific Slack channel to allow real time direct communication.

Elements of the project

Scoping:
Key to this creation of an effective partnership is harnessing your knowledge so, as part of this project, we would be on hand to lead a full interactive investigative session. This would look at both your practical needs in detail and tap into the understanding of your users you have developed through experience to refine the specification of the project outcome and ensure their effectiveness.

Design:
After a full scoping of your needs we will utilise your existing brand and create a full design of the website including all user interface elements as well as mobile and tablet views. This design process will include several initial options, and multiple refinement stages to allow you to give feedback and have input at every stage.

Development:
From these approved designs the website will be built using completely custom code according to modern best practices. This website will be fully responsive, accessibile, and bi-lingual and allow for user subscription, adding and reviewing of posts, and the posting of opportunities.

The website will be developed to correlate with the All-Wales Arts and Education Programme’s four regional networks through the coordination of the Art Form list structure, associated database, and any other issues as needed.

This core code will be translated into a custom WordPress theme and the back-end database constructed. All of the CMS will then be managed through the WordPress platform with custom modules developed where needed to realise the needed functionality. This method of development ensures a rigorous attention to stability and ensures a modular approach which allows for the seamless addition of additional functionality as required in the future.

Testing:
Before launch we will employ a multi-phased testing covering devices, browsers, accessibility, and operating systems to ensure that your new website delivers the best experience for its users.

Launch:
In line with our commitment to partnership we will on hand to provide support at all stages of the project including deployment. This will include assistance with aspects directly lined to the website such as domain re-pointing, hosting setup and DNS setting management as well as assistance with indirect attributes such as deadlink tracking and automated redirect setup.

Support:
Our involvement in, and commitment to, you does not stop and we will be on hand to provide both technical support for the website, usage guideance, and advice on future developments.
