A Couple of Interesting 404 Pages

-
Pickle Design Website
Recently we have been exploring the possibilities of 404 pages for some of our websites. These are the pages that hopefully you would never see!

When the computer can't find a page these direct you back to the home. So as a designer you can have a little fun with the lost page concept, obviously these pages need to be consistent with the brand and website, but they allow more freedom with the structure.

Tourist Handbook
Marie and I have created 404 pages for The Tourist Handbook, Buttermilk (a work in progress) and of course Pickle Design. You may never see these pages but perhaps they will bring a smile if you do.

Pickle's Three Year Anniversary

Pickle Design passed the three year milestone at the end of August, and we could not let it go by without marking the occasion. So Emma and Marie had the idea of taking advantage of the Camel Trail. We hired some bikes and rode the trail from Wadebridge to Padstow, remarkably between showers, although the wind did make the outward journey slightly more challenging (especially to our hair...). But we were spurred on by the thought of fish and chips when we got to our destination, and chose to sample some of Stein's. Marie brought her husband, Jai (above), along for the ride, and Emma invited her brother, Paul (below). The conversation was lively and ranged from our ubiquitous movie chat, a few moments contemplating Spurs' currently good progress in the league, and the astonishing scenery right on our doorstep. So that was three years and the fourth one looks to be even more interesting. We are just as keen to find challenging projects to work on, so feel free to contact us with ...

Website for The Wheelhouse, on the Isles of Scilly

-

We recently designed a new website for The Wheelhouse, a guest  house right on the beach on St Marys, one of the islands that make up the Isles of Scilly. We started the project by designing a logo and then moved onto the website. Due to the outstanding location of the guest house I wanted to communicate that oneness of the sea, so I kept my colour palette simple with beachy blues and white space. It was important to the client to have a website that was easy to navigate and be user friendly. Images were also key, so there are two image carousels on the website and Polaroid style pictures on every page which open larger when clicked on. I drew bespoke maps for each Island and custom designed a blog which is fully integrated. The site also features a webcam so everyone can experience the sea views, no matter where they are. The gallery is also totally editable by the client. Working on this site has really has tempted me to the Scilly Isles! Website design by Pick...
