Oxford Web SEO needed a new site to establish itself as a service leader and promote it’s organic search optimisation solutions. Using Drupal we provided a fresh clean site to reflect the purity and strength of their message, which will engage users by providing PDF downloads of help and advice guides, a contact form and the option to sign up to email alerts.

TUC
CMS Website
The TUC asked us to refresh and modernise their main site to give it an up to date and more professional style. We provided flexible content areas with optional panels, and created an adaptable navigation structure by reducing the number of top level categories, which will serve the TUC for many years to come. The inclusion of a bespoke media centre now allows the TUC to deliver news, blogs and video content all within one compact module. With integration to several popular social networks and increased promotional space for campaigns, the site reflects the dynamic nature of the TUC.
