Debt collection expert, Chris Firat, required a new brand and website to support her training business. The final site - as well as featuring the new logo and colour scheme branding - also includes regular articles by Chris on debt collection practices, as well as client testimonials and information about the company.
The site was built on the Textpattern CMS, giving the client total control over adding, changing or removing content, and was built to comply with web-standards and accessibility guidelines.
“29digital was recommended to me by an industry colleague back in 2006, and I have never looked back. From day one, Matthew has provided my company with state-of-the-art technical advice translated into language that I understand, and his ideas for our new logo and website, and maintenance have been top class.
Not only is 29digital technically extremely competent, but the level of on-going support, advice and customer service is first rate, and all my development requests continue to be actioned accurately and promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending 29digital to any company seeking the same top quality advice on web design and development.”

The personal website of 29digital's Matthew Pennell has been featured on several showcase websites since its launch. It was voted fourth best fluid layout in the first CSS Fluid Hall of Fame, and is listed in the top 4% of sites on the design comparison engine, CommandShift3.
The design serves a variety of content requirements, from photos to code tutorials; it uses the Textpattern CMS to manage all the articles, comments, images and code samples on a site that attracts over 15,000 visitors per month.
“Matthew Pennell's site is just plain easy on the eye. It’s incredibly elegant and soothing - and more importantly it's one of those rare sites that is so liquid you don't even notice!
Everything on the site has room to breathe, and it all looks like it's meant to at pretty much any size (within reason!). It's definitely given me some things to think about in the future.”

The Refresh movement is a worldwide group of web designers and developers that meet regularly in cities around the world. The design for the Refresh Cambridge site needed to allow both newcomers and existing members to find the information they were looking for, whether it was signing up, learning about upcoming meetings, or finding reports of past sessions.
The design has since been adopted as the unofficial Refresh design for the UK.
With an existing eBay store performing very well in the semi-professional running clothing market, Highs & Lows felt that the time had come to develop a standalone web presence. 29digital was able to work with them to develop an online store solution with the flexibility to handle product management quickly and easily, and the site now sells hundreds of products per month, regularly achieving a conversion rate over 5%.
The Textpattern CMS was heavily adapted to serve an ecommerce model, with modifications to accommodate the gender, size and colour requirements of a clothing store.
