Indigo People
Indigo People are a recruitment agency for the Health, Beauty and Spa sector and are based in Nottingham. Recruitment Specialist Lucy contacted me to design and build a professional, readable website that reflected their high standards of business which could grow to accommodate the changing needs of the company.
A content management system was essential to enable Indigo personnel to maintain the regularly updated job board and industry news articles (Wordpress lent itself to this perfectly) and a day of training was given to ensure full understanding of the administration process.
“Matthew’s relaxed manner and knowledge of the subject really helped us to understand the potential a well designed website could bring to our company. We will definitely be working with him in future!”
Lucy Thomas - Recruitment Specialist
Domain registration and hosting requirements were explained in full to help the client understand exactly what the options were and support was offered throughout the build. With a deadline of two weeks from sketch pad to launch the project had to be carefully managed.

IGEM House
IGEM House is a modern building based in Kegworth that features three contemporary conference rooms and a traditional Boardroom which are available for hire. The building is owned and ran by the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers who approached me to complete the marketing strategy for IGEM House with a clean, standards compliant website that would increase exposure and showcase the state-of-the-art facilities available to prospective clients.
The brief featured an extremely tight deadline as IGEM wished to showcase the website at Event UK which was to take place only two weeks after our initial meeting. To ensure the site was delivered on time and in budget I maintained close contact with staff at IGEM House and assisted them with all facets of website development including hosting and domain registration.

Brain Bucket
Elly runs a successful extreme sports company called Airbossworld in Prestwold and asked me to create a helmet and protection gear online shop for her. She had a few ideas of corporate style and together we created a complete corporate style for the Brain Bucket brand which conveyed quality but also appeals to the youth market.
“We wanted something that would look as cool on a t-shirt or cap as it does on the internet and with Matthews help we have achieved that. He has supported us throughout the project and remained in constant contact, something which I value highly”
Elly Grayston - Owner of Brain Bucket
“Fantastic website. Sooooo user friendly. No searching in vain for information and very good image handling! Your designers deserve a pat on the back!”
Customer of Brain Bucket

The project began life as a series of paper sketches which were realised in Photoshop. The paint splatters were hand drawn to try to create a unique feel that fits with a fast paced fashion led industry. The ecommerce capability of the site required intense customisation using PHP with a MySQL database for storage.
