The Big Picture is having great success with some new sites. OXCAT and Constructions Sales Centre have both been receiving lots of web traffic due to the SEO work we have done after building these sites, with new sites coming online soon.

Phil Kinnie of CSC said he is ‘Over the moon’ with the results. Phil said:

“The Big Picture  Excels

The Big Picture redesigned our website (www.constructionsales.co.uk) and in a very rapid time frame, not only improved the graphics, layout and look immeasurably, but achieved astonishing results in moving us dramatically up the Search Engines. Peter Jones at The Big Picture is by far the best value for money, not only in Oxford but all of the UK.”

OXCAT, a brand new site, has already had 1200 hits in a few weeks, over 300 in one day.

We have been working with our clients to help them use their blogs to maximum effect, and this is driving valuable traffic to their sites.

The OXCAT (Oxford Community Against Trafficking) website has just gone live. The Big Picture sponsored and developed this site to raise awareness of Human Trafficking in our area, following the jailing of sex traffickers in Oxford in August 2011. It includes radio interviews and videos about the subject.

We are very happy to announce our latest web project going live. Construction Sales Centre asked us to redevelop their site specialising in generating sales leads for the construction industry.

Firstly, why write a design brief at all:

a) It helps you clarify on your objectives. For example do you just want to improve a tired corporate identity, generate sales, encourage enquiries, break into new market areas, launch a new product, or obtain information from your audience?

b) It helps the designer to stay focused on the end result and acts as a point of reference during the design process.

Corporate Profile
Define your corporate profile. Say what you do.

Current situation
Where are you now with regards to sales and marketing. Where do you want to be. A realistic overview of where you are compared to competitors is very useful.

Your target audience
Detail your primary, secondary and tertiary audiences. Explain if you are trying to consolidate these market areas or break into new ones.

Demographics
Detail any demographic information you have about your audience(s) such as:
Age
Sex
Income
Occupation
Location

Communication task
What is the message. If possible show elements to be included in the designed items (logos, taglines, imagery, headlines and text.)

Corporate identity
If you have an established corporate identity, show this to the designer.

Design examples
Providing examples of what you like (and don’t like) can be very helpful for internal discussions and in explaining the direction you want the design to go.
These could include colour, imagery, typography and the look and feel of items you like.

Budget and Time Scale
Even a ball park figure will give the designer an idea of the scope of the project and your expectations. This will facilitate more accurate suggestions about design and production ideas.
Hope this helps
