It is great to see an image created by Simcoemedia used prominently on a major UK website and it was only when I came to book some tickets with Virgin Trains to go to the New Designers Exhibition in London in July 2011, that I realised the image had been downloaded from my Chester photography lightbox on iStockphoto.com portfolio and used! What a pleasant surprise.

Simcoemedia have provided Ridgeway Marketing with an excellent website and I’m really happy with the results. Pete [Simcoemedia] payed close attention to the requirements I had and always made me feel like I knew what the next stages of the process would be, along with the associated cost implications. The site provides me with what I need for my company’s online presence.

The website has a slider homepage image, news section and detailed training and mentoring sections and provides a clear, effective user journey through the site whilst also allowing access to third level detail pages with little effort.

Simcoemedia was asked to create a website that would enable users to sign up to the site, add and edit papers and comment upon published items. The WordPress engine has been used to great effect here both in presentation and allowing administrators of the site flexibility in how they publish their documents.

Design Education Research Group leader, Eddie Norman said:

We’re able to take the IDATER Online Conference to the next level now by giving users and administrators greater flexibility than ever. Simcoemedia has created an attractive and usable site that should give the next series of Conferences a great head start in making a contribution to the Design Education community across the world.

As part of the production process a short video introduction to IDATER was produced by Simcoemedia to give a brief overview of Action Research and some of the forthcoming conference titles such as Graphicacy and Modelling:

The Design School will also enable us to ensure that the University, and Britain, remain at the forefront of creative expertise and that out students are equipped with the right skills and knowledge to achieve their career objectives and potential. - Tony Hodgson, Head of School

Tony Hodgson had this to say about Simcoemedia:

Peter [Simcoemedia] is an excellent project manager. He is currently managing the team of academic staff working on the new Loughborough Design School website and displays excellent communication skills, leadership and a strong ability to work independently and deliver on time. He is able to confidently lead meetings, provide accurate, intelligent verbal and written discussion.

Beryl Pettitt, representing Model Logic, said:

Peter is a great webdesigner and very easy to work with. He is very creative but also puts a lot of thought into how clients will intereact with a website and how to get complex messages across.
