Today sees the launch of Scope’s new identity, supported by revamped website and the fantastic “Scope gallery”.

Via this gallery Scope are asking disabled people, their friends and families to tell them, by way of a simple picture and words, what they would like the future to look like. The pictures and stories submitted to the gallery will become their living brand. It’s a great way for disabled people and their families to voice their views, opinions and hopes for the future.

We had launched a BETA version of the gallery back in September in 2011 which has enabled Scope to crowd source their new brand thus far. Opening up the website to the broader public now, and for the first time, we’ve enabled social sharing options, commenting and “hearting” options, and also set up a custom mobile template – making the user experience even more interactive and engaging.

We have designed and developed both sites in Drupal adhering to W3C AA standards, alongside creating supporting Facebook content and updating their Twitter and Youtube channels.

This large website was built on the Drupal platform to promote their dosimetry offering.

Elidh McDowall, Visual Communications Specialist from IBA Dosimetry said this about us:

“I really must express that I’ve found the creative, technical and management support & attention to detail which this project has received throughout the process to be fantastic – Catch have continuously delivered a service at a standard which I’d only hoped to imagine when I first began seeking a new web agency back in March this year.”

Have a look at our spectacular new website for iQ Student Accommodation. In the week after launch iQ had their highest number of bookings ever.

We’re all happy, as is Sophie Jackson, Marketing Manager at iQ:

“Catch have been a fantastic team to work with during the relaunch of our website. From initial project scoping through design and development stages through to going live, Catch have listened to our needs and quickly provided solutions to any problems we have encountered. The extension of the Drupal CMS system we now have is excellent. The training provided was thorough and the system is very easy to use which means we have full control of our website, which is very cost effective and easy to manage.”

They have listed some that are relatively new and foresee reaching mainstream attention next year, and others that are slightly older they think will finally hit the big time in 2011.

We’re excited to see that our favourite CMS Drupal features on this list. We’ve been banging on about the merits of Drupal for over 2 years now, and in that time have produced some of the UKs largest websites using this fantastic framework, including sites for Prime Focus, Wates, Charles Kendall, Pension Corporation – and not to mention 27 websites for Haymarket including the Campaign and Revolution awards websites.

Show Carriage merged its business with our existing client Charles Kendall earlier this year, so we’ll be designing and building their new website. The development work has already started and we’re looking forward to launching it soon!

Wates is one of the UK’s largest private construction companies. With revenues of £1bn+ the company is going from strength to strength.

In 2009 Wates Group was named Major Contractor of the Year by Building magazine, alongside Sustainability Contractor of the Year, Sustainability Champion of the Year and Paul Drechsler was named Chief Executive of the Year.

Now to go alongside their awards, they have a dynamic new web presence. Built using Drupal we’ve, just launched their main Group website www.wates.co.uk after months in our development pipeline.

Working with our partner Ferrier Pearce’s design, the site is built to emphasise Wates’ industry leading activities through the use of video, project stories, slideshows and authored thought leadership pieces. There is a huge variety of content stored within the CMS system we developed, all editable by Wates themselves and accessible to you the user via our unique “live search” feature.

Commenting on the new site, Wates Head of Communications, Belinda Murray said of the Catch and Ferrier Pearce team: “I just wanted to let them know how much we appreciated their marvellous help, support, enthusiasm, whip cracking and spectacular creativity in producing our beautiful new website. It was a huge task and they were great partners to work with.”

We’ve been working with the UK team at Prime Focus for the last 5 months developing the digital side of their global brand consolidation launch. We’ve just put the first phase live at www.primefocusworld.com.

We built in Drupal, utilising buckets of Flash and AJAX. There are gigs of slick video content to browse featuring everything from VFX for Quantum of Solace, Dragonball: Evolutions, Harry Potter and Superman Returns to Kasabian & U2 pop promos and car ads. If you’re short on time check out the house showreel, it sums up their prolific output succinctly.

At a packed Odeon in Leicester Square last night, founder Namit Malhotra announced the transformation of its global facilities into a single global company under a new Prime Focus brand. This includes the consolidation of Prime Focus London, blue and Machine (UK), Post Logic and Frantic Films VFX (USA) and Prime Focus Group in India. This enables the Prime Focus ‘global digital pipeline’ by seamlessly interconnecting the 15 Prime Focus offices around the world.

London was chosen for the first launch event, the rebrand will continue to be unveiled through launch events in Los Angeles and Mumbai. Should be noted that certain members of the Catch team are still recovering from the one last night!

We continue to work with Prime Focus on a number of other equally exciting projects based around their new launch – watch this space.

Invest Northamptonshire needed to advertise their return to MIPIM, after a successful turn there in 2008. They wanted an informative modern yet clean design with advanced functions such as a site search engine, as well as text content video was also going to a main distributor of information. A real joint effort, working with our two sister agencies Ferrier Pearce and First Image we produced a four minute promo video to support our website and a highlights video of Kevin McCloud’s construction lunch speech, which was filmed, edited and uploaded to the website within one hour of the speech.

We produced this clean, simple to follow, design that contained large amounts a information, judge for yourself at http://mipim.investnorthamptonshire.co.uk

Technologies used: xHTML, PHP, jQuery, GoogleMaps, Flash

With six exciting schemes already in operation nationwide and three more on track for 2009 this is shaping up to be quite a site. With Google mapping, ‘The Hub’ social networking and more.
