Company news

New desks, new logo, new business cards- it's all in with the new at Webstars lately!  Anyone would think we're undergoing some kind of re-brand or something.

Since we last updated the blog, there's been quite the transformation taking place in and around the office.  First we got a beautiful new logo to update our rather outdated one.  Then, some pucker looking business cards found their way to us, and a few days later some bloke came along to install new desks sporting 'on brand' purple dividers.  These naturally caused quite a stir.

Yep, this hungry little caterpillar is well on its way to butterfly-dom.  We're working on our image, building the new brand and sinking our teeth into some pretty exciting projects including a Facebook App for O2, a re-brand and site design for Nutkhut, the performing arts company, and a new e-commerce site for the well established dance footwear company, Bloch, a foot-tappingly impressive 80 years in the business!

It's not just new business and shiny business cards.  We have also changed up the office chair warmers.  After the departure of James and Adam, the Webstars team are delighted to have taken on board not two, but three new excellent members of staff.

Chris Youd is our new Head of Project Management.  Nandita Lovage has joined us as Project Executive, and recently, we also welcome Tom Mortimer, Project Manager, the newest addition to the project management team.

So I'd say we're pretty much ready to spread our wings and emerge renewed- onwards with the updated website!

Well hello, world.  

A pretty hectic time to launch this, the new Webstars site, what with the simultaneous launch of a new website for the Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown.  Adam (one of our PMs) is sat next to me and frankly I worry for his health, such has been his unflagging dedication to getting this project finished.

And flawlessly, too - Jez (our MD) has just waded in to question whether the use of a single arrow or a double chevron is the best way to draw users' attention to a particular link. That's the kind of detail that can set off an massive argument intelligent discussion in our office. 

So but anyway, I'm meant to be talking about our new site, never mind a former prime minister's.  

You've made it to the blog, so you've probably already seen everything else, but there's a few little niceties that I'd like to draw your attention to: the static footer so that you can always easily contact us, the way the links follow your mouse on the project thumbnails of the work page, and the lovely way the big arrows on the homepage slide in when you resize your browser window.  

We hope you like it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
