Beaver Design has just completed the website for the new Matt Scales Music Fund. The website was designed and developed in-house at Beaver as a way to provide information about the fund and ways to donate.

It uses a simple design, with images, videos and links to the related activities of the MSMF.

About the MSMF

Matt Scales had a huge talent for writing lyrics and songs; he had a way of making people laugh, gave his attention to all those he met and made a huge impact on the many who adored him. The talent, ambition and courage he showed, left an everlasting impression and impact on the many hundreds of people he met in his life.

For all of Matt’s traits and the impressions he made and for the many friends and fans he had, this Music Fund has been set up in his memory. This fund will provide rehearsal space and studio recording time for young bands who would otherwise struggle to fulfil their potential.

At the beginning of 2010, the School Governors One Stop Shop (SGOSS) approached Beaver Design with a brand new design concept they had created, for a new website they wanted to have built. As the main resource for would-be and serving school governor volunteers across England, the main aim was to make it up-to-date, easy to manage and feature the most relevant information for the volunteers, schools and local authorities who work with SGOSS.

“We decided our website needed an entire overhaul in terms of design, content and navigation. After a lot of work in-house over a number of months, we came up with a design we wanted and took it to Beaver for them to turn into an actual website.” - SGOSS

The website design was first done in-house at SGOSS, before being given to Beaver to turn it into a reality – in addition to building the new and more user friendly CMS to support the new site...

“Beaver also built a new and easier to use CMS for the site, which we have full control of, enabling us to add content where necessary and make any changes we need to and overall making such process a lot quicker.” - SGOSS

For the last few months, Beaver Design has been working very closely with the businesses of St Andrew Street to create a new website for the whole street. The result is a site which features news, lots of pictures and videos - all with the aim of engaging with customers and showcasing the range of quality independent shops on the street.

As well as designing and managing the site, Beaver Design is also working closely withe street to improve their presence on social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter. With so many people using these services, St Andrew Street identified a need to be a part of it and engage online.

"By incorporating state-of-the-art features like video content and rolling news, we know that this website will be bookmarked and revisited regularly by many people. We are delighted with the result!" - Rod Lewis, Hertfordshire Graphics, St Andrew Street

Beaver Design has recently finished an extensive project for London based Resource Furniture Services Limited (RFS), designing a new corporate look, including a new logo, stationery, brochures and a website.

LOGO

Starting things off, Beaver designed a new logo – a clean, professional graphic, using RFS colours and incorporating the slogan of what they provide: workplace solutions.

From the original concept and design of the logo, the rest of the brand identity followed. Beaver delivered the RFS company stationery, such as business cards and this was followed by designs for the livery of the RFS company vehicles and company brochures.

BROCHURES

The RFS brochures needed to convey information about the company, as well as fit in seamlessly with their corporate branding. Beaver designed an eight page brochure with all the information, as well as images of projects and installations.

Professional, clean and elegant design was key and the brochures were finished with a quality matt laminate, including an inside pocket for additional documents.

WEBSITE - www.rfsinstall.co.uk

The final phase to the RFS redesign project was their new company website. Like the rest of the designs in this project, this site is clean and professional, aimed at providing key information to visitors.

Like all websites designed by Beaver, it uses the latest in web development techniques, as well as simple web features such as a photo gallery and news blog. Good search engine optimisation techniques were integrated, helping RFS to be found by their clients.

By using the same brand identity throughout their print and website, and by following professional design practices, RFS now have strong tools to help better promote their business.

Beaver Solutions (part of Beaver Group) has recently finished a project for Cinema City International, delivering a complete and single-sourced digital menu board and print design service. Beaver Solutions is uniquely placed to provide quality digital menu board content development and traditional print designs, from one agency.

With this exciting project we are providing content to six countries throughout Europe and Israel, improving the promotion of Cinema City’s concessions, increasing sales and saving money on wastage. The digital and print menus work in harmony with a coherent design throughout, promotions are quicker and prices can be changed whenever needed.

UNIFIED DESIGN, FROM ONE AGENCY

Beaver have over 30 years experience in print design and 15 years developing digital signage content. Cinema City also benefitted from the specific menu board expertise of sister company, Signature Digital Menus.

Beaver shot specific high definition video content for use on the digital menu boards, and developed a stylish and elegant design which communicates the concessions available in each of the cinemas located in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, in the local languages. Where changes are required, these can be implemented throughout their signage (both print and digital). The solution was quick and dynamic, due in no small part to the fact that the print and digital teams work from the same offices.

"The content and video production by Beaver Solutions is excellent. We’ve had a lot of good feedback from our customers and we’re noticing a significant uplift in sales. The design work from Beaver Solutions has really made a difference.”

– Alon Zohar, Cinema City

FUTURE

Ongoing price changes and additional items are also being managed by Beaver Solutions, continuing to deliver increased sales and reduced costs.

Cinema City International is the largest operator of multiplex cinemas in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Israel, with more than 70 multiplex cinemas in six countries. In the next 6-12 months, there are plans to roll out the new designs to additional countries, including Israel.

Delivering quality design services, Beaver Solutions are pretty pumped* to be providing Cinema City International with unified digital signage and print content throughout their cinemas.
