CBN has produced work for over 140 clients since 1998, picking up over 40 awards along the way.

The following are just a small sample cross-section of our work.

Many of our clients, some of whom have been with us for 6 years, are coming back to us for makeovers and for management packages.

Albright Patents - www.albrightpatents.co.uk

Albright Patents WebsiteThis interesting website has been built almost entirely, though not quite, in monochrome; a technique that rarely works. 

This is the exception that tests the rule.

Whether you are an inventor, designer, entrepreneur or business, Albright Patents can help you stay ahead of your competitors by protecting your new designs, products and trade names in a thorough, proactive and cost effective way.

Actinic Website Design and Hosting

Beyond France Vintage Linen - www.beyondfrance.co.uk

Actinic Design WebsiteBeyond FranceIf we wanted to show the perfect example of the success of our policy of client involvement, of continual revision and tuning and fine-tuning throughout the development, then this Actinic v8 website is it.

Our client's photography worked well and was important because of the unique nature of the products. These are constantly changing, often on a weekly basis due to their almost unique nature, often with only one or two in existance.

Perhaps most exciting of all was that the website took it's first order exactly one hour after going live.  Not only that, but it sold out of two lines within three hours.  All of the orders coming from Japan.

Since then, the client has ordered a complete translation into Japanese of the "Brochure" level of the website.

Anglo Welsh Meat - www.fresh-meat-online.co.uk

Actinic DesignAnglo Welsh Meats was established in 1997 and originally had only 2 employees. Now, 9 years on, they employ 20 staff who are all fully committed to ensuring their customers take home only the very finest cuts of meat at the most competitive prices in the UK.

Anglo Welsh Meat WebsiteThis website was a first in many respects for CBN.

  • It was the first Actinic v8 e-business website for us, an one of the first in the UK.
  • It was the first website using our new template developed in-house.
  • It was the first website to use product photography produced entirely by ourselves.  This was the result of a full day's shoot at our client's premises.
  • Finally, the site enjoyed its first sale within two days and is now providing a steady flow of orders for the client.

Excellent meat too!

Renown 1886 - www.renown1886.co.uk

Aura of Beauty, Cheltenham.Actinic DesignThree makeovers and a new e-Business solution for "The Famous of Cheltenham".
When we were asked by The Famous of Cheltenham to produce a new Shopping Cart for them we were very pleased, but when we were invited to provide makeovers for their whole group, "The Famous of Cheltenham", "Intersport" and "Pinder & Tuckwell of Exeter", we were over the moon.

The challenge was to take the different business identities of each and without changing them, produce a new identity that we could use to link them as a group. In addition, the new shopping cart must serve all three businesses and again, provide a seamless integration.

The two elements that link all three businesses is the commitment to personal service and the high standards that they all work to. The result is four sites that share a common feel and are wrapped in a distinct identity that complements rather than replaces their individuallity.

Aura of Beauty - www.auraofbeauty.co.uk

Even if we say so ourselves, this is a seriously sexy looking website.  It was essential that we reflected the core values of providing very high quality beauty treatments and products to clients who wished to be "Pampered".

Aura of Beauty, Cheltenham.Aura's client base ranges from the rich and the famous to the ordinary lady, the housewife or the business lady. 

Worth mentioning is the excellent working relationship between CBN and our client that enables us to say with complete honesty that this was a joint venture between us. 

Aura had complete visibility and input throughout the whole development and it carries much of their own creativity.

Despatch Boxes - www.despatchboxes.com

Actinic DesignSomewhat quirky, this full e-Commerce shopping site was quite demanding.

Website Design for Despatchboxes.comBuilt partially using Actinic software, the fulfillment and procurement section had to be hand-crafted to accommodate legal requirements for sales to BFPO stations worldwide. Parcel size and weight limitations as well as the validation of legitimate BFPO addresses for VAT was interesting!

CBN manage and maintain the technical aspects of the site whilst the management of the customers, order fulfilment and accounting, (all of which are fully integrated into the site), are dealt with by DespatchBoxes themselves.

CBN's services with this site also extend to the production of the product photography and marketing support

UKSnipers - www.uksnipers.co.uk

UKSnipers WebsiteThe first thing to understand about this SOF2 Gamers Clan website is that it is fact three distinct websites that are united under one brand identity.

The <<UK>>Snipers clan has existed for many years and was originally looked after by a number of members. Late in 2005, as sponsors of the clan, it fell to CBN to bring the many disparate and individually branded elements of the websie in one.

At the core of the clan lies the forum and the level of functionality of the <<UK>>Snipers forum pushes all the boundaries.

With well over 20 "MOD"s and large reworking of the phpBB bulletin board software this is truely a world class site.

An interactive users' and visitor's image gallery adds to the functionality of the website, as well as does an Events calendar and huge gaming download section

What a fabulous website.  I am a certified elementary teacher in the US (not currently teaching) and your school looks like a great place to teach and learn.  I hope we are able to find a home near your school.  Thanks so much for the information.  Looking forward to our arrival in England.  Our kids are going to love it!

Charlton Kings Junior School - www.charltonkings-jun.gloucs.sch.uk

This website is a bold step for a Junior School.

Charlton Kings Junior School WebsiteThe School recognized that their target audience is mainly Parents, Teachers, Governors, the Children and the general public but through their forum and gallery they hope to provide stakeholders with the opportunity to interact on the site.

Working with the children in particular was inspiring. One of the first suggestions from one of the children at our initial meeting to discuss the site was, “Please can we have a copy of our homework on the site so that we won't forget it?"

Actinic DesignOften the challenge is to either create a new identity or to use an existing one. This was different.

Website design for Sue TrevaskisSue Trevaskis' business is a franchise of the heavily branded "Colour Me Beautiful" company. What was required was a site that introduced a new identity for Sue but would allow for a seamless integration with the Colour Me Beautiful website and products.

The result was this very elegant and chic site that meets the best of both worlds without any compromise.

The site is designed so that Sue has control herself over the content of the site whilst leaving the more technical aspects to CBN.

What is really exciting is that this is just the first stage of the website. The second stage is shortly to be defined and will grow on the foundations already laid down. Watch this space.
