Ampersand built Oasis College a custom Joomla template as part of their brand development.
The template was hand-coded to be as accessible as possible before being applied to the Joomla site. Components and modules were researched, installed, configured and styled to ensure that the full functionality of the site worked exactly as Oasis College required.
The site template was designed by Neil Tinson Studio.
Built using Drupal, this custom designed and templated site makes extensive use of CCK and Views to customise the display of the various different types of content in the site. Views are used, in addition to menus, to present the image grid for each main section.
The ProjectBase team have full control over the site, being able to add in new pages and sections as needed. Images are added via a simple file upload.
Thumbnail images attached to each page are used in the top section link grids to give a visually interesting and exciting lead in to the various projects and commissions that ProjectBase are involved in.
Future development to the site will focus on increasing the way that visitors can navigate and view the information and making Social Media an integral part of the site experience.
Design by A-Side Studio.

For this project Ampersand revamped the existing WordPress site, adding a new template, customising it for the course and helping to re-organise the content to make the site work better for the course team and students.
Taking a freely available template to serve as the basis of development, the colours and layout were altered so as to best showcase the great photography.
User profiles have been extended so that the photographers are easily organised into year groups without requiring any administration problems.

This Drupal based website was first built several years ago to support the International Journalism course at University College Falmouth.
In January the site was re-built to the latest version of Drupal and the associated modules and components. This has given the site users a much more powerful text editor along with greater support for different media.
This project used WordPress to create a new site for 3B International, based upon branding work produced by KI Design.
The blog functionality of WordPress is used to power the News section and the Latest News alert box on the homepage, whilst the rest of the site uses simple, WordPress pages.
This easy-to-update News section proved invaluable in January 2010 when heavy snow throughout Cornwall and the rest of the country caused massive disruptions to transportation. 3B were able to quickly and easily keep all of their clients up-to-date with the latest arrangements.
In addition to the general website, a new design was also applied across the various web-based applications that 3B already offered to their clients, bringing everything in to one cohesive brand.

This Drupal based website was delivered as part of a total company re-brand. It includes lots of images and slideshows of some of the fantastic work that Contract Signs does. The site is very flexible, enabling Contract Signs to run promotions and in-site advertising as they wish as well as showing news and press coverage and offering a resources section to help their clients work with them.

A Drupal based website with a custom theme.
Each artist is able to log in to the site and update their own page with text and images. Images are added via a simple file upload and jQuery is used to present them as an interactive gallery.

This is a WordPress site with a custom designed and built theme.
Sifr has been used to render the non-standard font used in the headings so that the site can be visually rich without sacrificing any accessibility or making it difficult to update.
A small audio player has been added in to the site so that mp3 files, uploaded by Kate, can be played directly from within the page.
The gallery is managed directly from Kate’s Flickr album.
