Maxim Recruitment
www.maximrecruitment.co.uk

Maxim Recruitment specializes in quantity surveying jobs, construction site manager and project management jobs in building construction, civil engineering contracting and cost consulting

Features:
After a vigorous high level envisioning phase to the project we provided Maxim Recruitment with a variety of ideas for the future development of their online strategy. This proved to be a great starting point for the Maxim Recruitment account which we hope will grow over many years to come.

We started with our design process and the first port of call was marketing collateral. We created a more diverse yet accurate photography collection to feed the on and offline marketing. Print materials were also supplied for in-house use including sales sheets and database friendly word templates.

Adding to this, We made the site more accessible and search engine friendly by giving the site a CSS tableless re-build with removal of asp post backs while remaining contribute friendly. The site also takes advantage of sIFR technology to add rich typography into web pages without sacrificing accessibility, search engine friendliness, or markup semantics.

We all have our fingers crossed for Steve at Maxim to gain a local award this year.

Good Safari Guide
www.thegoodsafariguide.com

The brief & key features:

The design needed to reflect an almost exclusive feel as the only way to get into the guide is by several referrals and a thorough on-site check.

We had full freedom with colour and photography and chose to build a brand that would work offline too. Warm, inviting and typically African colours were chosen that would support this rare service along with photography that instantly demonstrates the offerings working at their best.

Adding to this, we needed to create a website that would have the potential for rapid further developments in a phase 2 project. Therefore the design was split into regions to allow us to move elements around freely between real estate and differing pages without loosing the integrity of the design.

Branding, CSS build and online nominations functionality
