Happy New Year to all!
We are very excited over here at DR, this year looks to be our year! It seems after 5 years we have finally landed and proven to be reliable and cost effective to clients and our associates! With more work than we know what to do with (not like we are complaining) we are excited with what 2012 has to offer.
To all our associates, clients past, present and future, we wish you prosperous New Year!
From the small but excellent team @ DR :)

25th October 2011 Brick Restoration re-vamp goes live
We have just re-launched Brick Restoration with their new design.
The challenge was simple. It needed to be simple, clean and show the user exactly what they offer. You can take a look at the website here http://www.brickrestoration.co.uk/
This is also our first site to use TypeKit. TypeKit allows you to chose from a range of fonts that may not be available on the clients computer when the webpage displays. The font is then downloaded using Javascript to the page from TypeKit and displays accordingly.
A simple but effective design which the client is over the moon with!
24th October 2011 Wonersh Interiors New Portfolio
We have just put Wonersh Interiors portfolio live.
Wonersh Interiors got in contact with us through one of our other clients Geoffrey Lee of Planefocus, they gave us the challenge of creating their portfolio section.
The site was built and designed by another company so we have to pick up the ball and run with the .NET project handed to us. It was a very simple site so we had no problem making the updates required.
The portfolio is now online and showcases 13 properties, you can take a look here Wonersh Interiors Portfolio
7th October 2011 Lauren Bates Blog – For all things charity
We have just launched Lauren Bates blog!
We were commissioned by Anna Celeste Watson to take the design and turn it into a Wordpress theme. It was a delight to devleop this theme with the fantastic illustrations for the header by Stu Jones. All the usual functionality was put in place, options for social media using ShareThis and mailing list signup with Campaign Monitor plus all the bespoke bits and bobs behind the scene.
The whole project was a delight and more importantly for great causes.
Take a look at the sites and get involved!

22nd September 2011 ENL – Technical Plastic Mouldings
ENL's new website is live!
Commissioned by //futurestech we built this site using Wordpress as requested. This was a interesting challenge for us as it was the first Wordpress setup using Multisite that we had undertaken.
Multisite was chosen as ENL required 3 different languages and the standard auto-translation plugins did not meet the requirements due to the technical nature of the text. One of the major benefits for the client using wp multisite is that each site works independantly of each other whilst having access to a singular media library.
You can view the website here at http://www.enl.co.uk/
Overall the project was a joy and we look forward to working along side //futurestech in the near future!

13th July 2011 New updates to R.T. Page’s report for Sony™
We have been working with R.T. Page over the past month to generate a report for the stock it holds and distributes for Sony™. Their system generated an report but Sony required it to be set out in a specfic way for their systems to intepret the data. We took the original report and with some hefty Excel macros we managed to present and calculate the data accordingly.
Over the past few months we have been updating this system and both R.T. Page and Sony™ are very happy with the outcome.
