Portfolio - Some Recent Projects

Nimsoft - Service Level Management software company
Nimsoft is a software company head-quartered in San Francisco which develops and sells market-leading network & server monitoring software. We have been maintaining the nimsoft.com site for about 3 years, including one complete redesign and rebuild.
Ken Vanderweel, Marketing Director, kindly gave us this testimonial:
"'Awesome Austen' sums up my impression of Austen (Bury Web Works proprietor) perfectly! After working with Austen for 3+ years he continues to impress us at Nimsoft, Inc. He delivers an unbelievable range of skills and services. Austen has also established himself as our trusted business partner and advisor. On countless occasions he has guided Nimsoft around the wide variety of obstacles that would otherwise disrupt our business. His approachable, confident personality is complimented by his strong business acumen and concern. Austen is simply second to none."

Signature Sports
Signature Sports provides team & club clothing for a variety of sports. They also serve niche markets such as Cricket Umpires and Club Darts players.
We have helped Signature Sports through the development of a small initial ecommerce implementation using a third-party shopping cart application, and then later added a full-featured cart of their own together with a ground-up restructure and redesign.
Peter Johnson, Signature Sports' Managing Director, kindly gave us this reference:
"BWW’s contribution to the recent re-launch of our website was considerable. Whilst I am neither technical nor visually creative, I did have a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve and BWW interpreted and reflected my thoughts with great skill and dedication. They also came up with some ideas of their own and told me (gently) when they thought I was wrong. It was, and remains, a very good working relationship."

Foremost Currency Group
FCG is a currency brokerage which specialises in large currency conversions for transactions such as foreign property purchases, importing/exporting goods or transferring a pension abroad.
FCG came to us with concerns over their web site. We identified the weaknesses with their site, both in its construction and with the way users were being forced to use it, and came up with a strategy for fixing them. FCG was happy with the general look of the design, so we were very careful not to disrupt this in any way.
Some of the tasks we undertook were: removing the frames construction and implementing a single page design with use of server-side includes; rewriting some copy to be more positive and appealing; adding features to improve the usability of the site; remaking some graphical elements to reduce the file size overhead of all pages.

Research Development Centre
The RDC is a funding body for those undertaking research involving patients, staff, equipment or premises in Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham or Southwark NHS Primary Care Trusts.
The Research Development Centre wanted to address several areas of their site which were no longer operating as they should be. We backed up all of their existing data and set about rebuilding the site to display it all properly. In addition, we provided a much more intuitive secure admin section so that they could add their own news items, training courses, research projects and so on. We also overhauled the site navigation and provided a user-friendly method menu system to allow users to find the required data more easily.

Worlds End Nurseries
Worlds End Nurseries is situated in Chelsea, on the famous King's Road. A family-run business, they cater to every gardening and landscaping requirement.
As part of a renewed marketing drive, we were enlisted to provide a friendly and informative site to reflect the laid-back and welcoming atmosphere at the nurseries.

Style PA
Tania at Style PA is a style advisor who offers a wide range of services and courses to help her clients look their best.
Our brief was to deliver a site which had visual appeal while offering all the information required for visitors to find out about her services and to get in touch with her.
"Thank you BWW for a fantastic website. I had lots of ideas and you used your wealth of experience and told me what would and would not work. The result is a professional, unfussy website that is easy to navigate. All the feedback about the site has been positive and the second thing people say after the website looks fabulous is to ask who did it!"
Tania Lightbourne, Proprietor, Style PA.
