Rebranded!
May 2008
GJH Trading asked us to investigate why their Actinic site selling beads wasn't performing as well as it should. Our solution was to rebrand the site with a whole new look that was aimed squarely at their core market, simplify the menu structure to give the browser simpler choices to make and in so doing, encourage them to buy.

World of Thomas No.1 on Google!
Well not quite, BUT in the space of less than 6 months we have got this great eCommerce site onto page 1 of Google UK for all their chosen key words and phrases.
We have achieved this, not through underhand 'black hat' techniques or lobbing enormous amounts of money at it, but purely through careful research plus a clear understanding of what a search engine likes in a page!

Rugs to Love
How about this for a great idea: turn childrens art into rugs. That's right, those very clever people at Rugs to Love can take a piece of artwork (within set parameters) and faithfully reproduce it in a handmade 100% wool, made in the UK rug.
New sites for April
April 2007
World of Thomas & World of Sodor
eCommerce has been the flavour of the month with a wealth of new sites from Pixelhaus. First cab off the rank is World of Thomas built for the Awdry Family (The creators of Thomas the Tank Engine). World of Thomas sells a comprehensive range of Thomas the tank engine toys, books, DVDs, train sets, home decor and clothing. Best of all, you can have books and DVDs signed by Christopher Awdry himself.
As well as World of Thomas, we've built a companion site called World of Sodor which sells other books (non Thomas) for children written by Christopher Awdry.
Pixelhaus created the original artwork for both sites and were responsible for all product photography too.
Lastly we have built a site about the Awdy Family which answers questions that people may have about Rev W. Awdry, the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine and his son, Christopher who has also written many books himself.
Dirty Dollie
Dirty Dollie sells Shabby Chic accessories and Vintage Homewares. For the uninitiated, the term shabby chic refers to modern items of furniture of homewares that have a 'lived in' look. They sell items for the kitchen, bedroom, living room and out doors too.
The eponymous hero of our site, Dollie, is based on a land army girl and the whole look of the site is 1940s/50s to match the vintage look of the products.
