Launch of The Gallery

This month, we have launched a brand new website for The Gallery, a stunning restaurant and bar located in the heart of Formby village. The site features The Gallery’s latest social media updates, downloadable menus and open table integration, allowing customers to effortlessly book a table online.

An interactive events calendar was built for the website and the customised offers management system clearly displays any special promotions and offers which are currently available at the venue.

Season of celebration at Alma De Cuba

In anticipation of some great events and occasions that are taking place this summer, we have been creating some new promotional artwork for long standing igoo clients, Alma De Cuba.

Based on the former site of St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Seel Street, Liverpool city centre, the striking venue is the perfect place to celebrate special days and to let yourself be swept up in the spirit of Latin America.

The new promotional material for the late May bank holiday weekend, graduation season and Father’s Day captures the carnival atmosphere that embodies Alma De Cuba, ensuring the venue stands out as the best place to head when it comes to throwing a party.

igoo have created the copy for the recent Alma De Cuba artwork and are currently refreshing their cocktail menu, highlighting the impressive selection of drinks they have on offer.

Product slides added to the Liverpool Gift Company site

igoo have created a series of new slides to celebrate new products being added to the Liverpool Gift Company website.

With new artists adding their pieces to the online store, and regular favourites such as Frieda McKitrick and Scouse Stuff expanding their existing collections, the site is constantly growing with gorgeous, Liverpool inspired gifts and presents.

We’re sadly saying goodbye to igoo team member, Gareth, who is leaving us to embark on a new adventure. His piglet mug will be missed from the daily tea rounds at 74a.

Abode mobile site

Following the launch of the Abode website, we have now created a mobile version for the local estate agents, allowing full access to their services remotely. This streamlined version with simple navigation is perfect for the mobile platform.

Be One Percent’s 2nd Birthday Party

Be One Percent are very excited to be celebrating their second birthday this Saturday at 7.30pm. The charity are holding the special event in the Bluecoat, Liverpool city centre, and after the amazing progress which has been made over the last two years,  it will be an occasion not to be missed.

Powell’s the Jeweller’s launch

Last week, we launched a new site for Powell’s the Jewellers, which has been upgraded to an Ecommerce lite platform, perfect for smaller businesses to sell online. The Powell’s website acts as a multi store site, catering for their three branches in Chester and Prestatyn.

Each store has its own personalised theme, designed in line with the individual styles of the shops themselves. There are dedicated featured products available for purchase and each store is easily accessible through a simple store switcher feature. The site boasts a simple checkout process and allows customers to save their billing information for easier checkout on subsequent visits.
