Every Business needs a strong, professional web presence. But not every business can afford what they want, when they need it. We have come up with a good idea. We thought about how we want to build ongoing working relationships with customers and how we can help their business. It’s obvious! Spread the load. Pay for your site over a 9 month period. You’ll still receive our great level of service and the site will go live as soon as possible. We have been known to design and build sites in 5 days. So get in touch and find out how your business can benefit now – not in 6 months time.
Virgin Limobike
Virgin Limobike came to us looking for a new look and feel for their new website and were keen to push the boundaries of the Virgin brand. This culminated in the highly stylised journey round London with your own rider.

Virgin Limobike - mobile site
Booking a Limobike on the go is increasingly popular and Virgin Limobike needed a site that automatically detected whether the customer was using their site on the go or in the office. With some clever javascript we set the site up to optimise itself for whichever device.
'Slate realised the importance of a mobile optimised version of the site.They made it simple to use on Smartphones whilst retaining the style and individuality of the main site. It's a real asset to our business'.

Stonewall University Guide
Stonewall have launched a brand new guide aimed at those looking to make the most out of their university experience.
We went for a Saul Bass inspired design that would stand out, be accessible to a teenage audience and communicate their message clearly.
'This was the second edition of our online University Guide for lesbian, gay and bisexual students, developed by Slate. Slate understood the additional features we wanted to add, and the design changes we wanted to make, giving us several options to choose from for each one. In addition they have been consistently friendly and helpful along the way. The final product looks great and has helped thousands of young people to choose a university where they can be themselves.'

Limetree Publishing
We recently went live with a new website for the independent medical publishers, Limetree Publishing. On the design side of the project it proved a great challenge for us, as there was a lot of content to fit into the site. It was important to break this down into bite-size chunks and make this as user friendly as possible. The toned colours helped take on the companies brand and establish their identity onto their site. On the development side the publication area needed a lot of thought as we built a complex filtering system using the drupal platform that catered to every users needs. A thoroughly enjoyable project with a lovely team.
"Thank you all for all your hard work and patience. The time you dedicated to help us understand the workings of the 'back-end' was invaluable. We are delighted with the result and have already received many compliments on the new design from clients and suppliers alike. I am not limited in the praise, thanks and gratitude for a brilliant experience working with the Slate team. Your unreserved support, courteousness and absolute likeability made the overall experience very positive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services."
