Argo Holidays

Having been pleased with our work on their Medlife Holidays site, Argo commissioned TIUCL to build a more extensive site to market their luxury holidays.

TIUCL designed, built, tested, completed the initial dataload from brochure PDF's under an extremely arduous schedule.

All the site searches and inventory are controlled from a bespoke Content Management System (CMS) which also allows acces to customer survey results and control of emergency announcements and affiliate netoworks.
The Argo site makes extensive use of Flash movies controlled via CMS to set the background photos and floating texts and is written in XHTML and CSS2.

Extra modules were added after initial production to allow control and monitoring of affiliation agreements with various well known affiliate networks such as travelsupermarket.com. These include web services to enable affiliates to upload the main CMS brochure type content for use on their intro sites.
 

Dialanexchange.com

In 2002, TIUCL was commissioned by Dial An Exchange (DAE) to take over the rebuilding of their new web site from another company. The original site was converted from Cold Fusion to ASP technology.

TIUCL worked in conjunction with DAE's existing back office development team from Dynamic Data Design (DDD) to produce a highly functional system that took a great load off the DAE Call Centre staff, improved response times, took automated payments via a new WorldPay interface and improved the site's manageability with a content management system.

TIUCL oversaw the implementation of the new system and arranged hosting with a third party provider. DAE's system has over 20,000 members, operates 24hrs a day and is based on SQL Server 2000.

In 2005 TIUCL was contactedy by Dial An Exchanges Australian partners to convert their web site into a fully interactive booking engine and link all four DAE sites world wide. This work was completed and handed back to their local Australian developers for ongoing maintenance and development. This work brought huge financial benefits to all the DAE companies as their users can now search and book in real time using a multitude of payment gateways integrated by TIUCL.

Matt Bryant is a personal trainer based in Berkshire. He commissioned TIUCL to design and build a web site to promote his business in his local area.

The site is constructed to W3C XHTML1.0 and CSS2 standards and makes use of Flash and some excellent photography. Unlike most of our sites, a CMS was not a requirement so it is purely a static site.

Search engine crawlability was a major requirement which has been catered for by the use of W3C standards in it's construction together with careful copy writing and meta data generation.

Beat 1

This excerpt is a good example of a mid to fast-tempo style. It was created to have a 80's/Europop feel as a backing track for Universal Music Publishing.

The drums and loops were created on an Akai MPC3000 and the music was completed using an Emagic Logic Audio hard disk recording system. To play, click on the graphic (1.0MB).
 

Ambient

This is a good example of the sort of ambient style that can be created to order by our sound design team.

"It’s full of stars" Was inspired by the sequel to Space Odessey 2001 when Dave's last message was "My God, it's full of stars". This piece is an extract from the original which runs for a total of 30 minutes and was written as an installation piece for the Irish artist Joan O’Hanahan. To play, click on the graphic (1.4MB).

European Business Summit

A design that encompasses the whole range of printed material, from badges and invitations to the full programme as well as a directory guide of all attendees. As a recurring event the basis need to be similar but still different enough to differentiate the new event from the previous one.
