New Banner for Summer :: Posted by: Hazel on May 13th, 2010

A Summer Time Website Refresh!
I have just added some deck chairs to the DIY BY Design Theme banner. It is good to update websites and blogs from time to time, and a new graphic or banner can add just enough of change to keep things new and interesting.
Continuity and keeping a theme running
To keep with the scheme of DIY By Design and its beach hut design …. who can resist an ice cream!
Custom graphics and images add a unique feel to a website and can be colour co-ordinated to match you company branding. Great for promoting products and services.

Graphics Design Three Little Pigs :: Posted by: Hazel on March 1st, 2010
Three Little Pigs – The Hampshire Hogs

Last year the Web Chic Boutique designed and created some graphics for the www.thehampshirehogs.co.uk website, creating some hog characters : Gardener Hog, Painter Hog and Van Driver Hog together with the design and creation of a banner for their newly launched Hampshire services website.
New Girl Hogs
We have now created “Three new Little Pigs” for the site and remade their website banner / logo to include the new hogs. The brief from Denise at Hampshire Hogs was to design and create three more new characters : Baker Hog, Admin Hog and Accounts Hog to compliment the existing hogs for the additional services now offered on their site.
Unique Graphics
By adding some unique graphics to your website you can “Stand Out From the Crowd”. At The Web Chic Boutique we understand that many people want to make their own websites but rather than use a template for your banner or promotional graphics why not get in touch and see how we can help you turn your website into something special.

Graphic Design For Network Members :: Posted by: Hazel on January 29th, 2010
Design : Members Badge Graphic Mums Like You
We have been pleased to work with Iveta of the “Mums Like You” online Network.
Following the brief we have worked closely with Iveta to produce a set of members badges for use by the networks ever growing membership on their own blogs and websites as a icon showing membership of www.mumslikeyou.com.
Design Brief
The brief was to design a graphic that included the networks logo wording thus keeping continuity with the website together with the birds provided by Iveta. We designed this graphic by continuing the theme of the bird image by incorporating the stitching as the border to the badge and made flower petals to highlight the pink bird’s patterned design.
The graphics can be seen online at the Network www.mumslikeyou.com/badge.php and on members sites across the web.

New Lightbox Gallery Added to Propertydecorating.co.uk :: Posted by: Hazel on November 2nd, 2009
Painting and Decorating Gallery Now Made Over!

Today sees the launch of a new photo gallery at www.propertydecorating.co.uk the gallery uses the lightbox technology to style the page as small thumbnail images are opened in the screen enlarged. The gallery is backward compatible as it uses javascript so if this is turned off, larger view images are still available, as they open in another window.
Adrian has built this feature into the gallery page as a way to better display some of the portfolio of work undertaken by the decorating business and show new clients some of the finished work.
View the new gallery : www.propertydecorating.co.uk/gallery.php
