A Brand New Site for Jenny Packham
Jenny Packham, designer of choice to Hollywood A-listers Keira Knightley, Eva Longoria and Beyonce, asked Poke to design a beautiful, new website showcasing both her ready-to-wear and bridal ranges.
The New Poke Website
OK, OK, we know we should have had a new site back in 2003 or whenever it was that having a new website was really cool, but you'd be amazed how long it takes for a bunch of web 'experts' to pull together what might look like a fairly basic site.
For a start client work always seems to get in the way. And then you've got to try and mediate between a load of people with very different views of what the site should look like, be like and everything down to the choice of bolts you use to attach the server to the wall in the place where all the computers go.
Anyway after lots of false starts and all kinds of constructive rowing (as in having arguments not paddling boats down rivers) here's our new site...
The purpose of the redesign is to make it easier to find stuff (and in the background make it a lot easier for us to update too).
It's not perfect and there's a few bits and bobs that we're still working on, but we've heard that it's OK for your site not to work. In fact it's really uncool if your site isn't in some kind of terminal beta.
Hope you like it in spite of any little wibbles, glitches or typos.
Orange Unlimited
We've just launched the most complicated and technically advanced single web page we've ever built. I suppose a 'never ending webpage' was always going to be a bit of a challenge. But it gets even trickier when you're trying to cram it full of really fun things that people can endlessly muck around with (and then make those things completely portable).
Why on earth would anyone conceive of such a thing?Well it's an unlimited web page, to promote a lots of unlimited offers from Orange.
You can read more in the portfolio. Or better still just go and visit the site and see for yourself what it's all about.
Get on Board With The WWF
A project for WWF. The objective is to create interest and noise around the climate change bill. Ultimately driving people to lobby their MP to push for a stronger climate change bill.
More Kate Moss
You might think by looking at the tabloids that all Kate Moss does is hang around with rockstar BFs, get into scrapes and smoke fags. And there's no doubt that she does some of that kind of thing.
But she also manages to find time to come into Poke and hang around and help us to make a nice website for her Topshop collection. She's really lovely and she makes a killer cup of tea, and there was this one time when she she came to the office and forgot to wear any clothes...
This Is A Cool Wall
If you know Top Gear you'll know the Cool Wall. It's the bit where the presenters argue about which cars are cool or not and Clarkson says something about a Vauxhall Nova being like the anus of a squid, that kind of thing.
Anyway we've just lauched a multi user community driven Cool Wall. So now you can have your say, compare it with your mates, and find out what Clarkson makes of your choices. Read more in the Poke portfolio. Or just head on over to the Top Gear Cool Wall and get stuck in.
