Cal Homes is one of our longest running clients whom we have been producing websites for since 2001.

They are property developers and we have been involved in a variety of different projects with them both in the UK and abroad.

The current incarnation of the site is a company profile website with subsections detailing different developments they are involved in.

The site was designed according to specification from their own designer and produced inline with various other assets including traditional printed material. It is a static html site with CSS produced in line with current web standards. The design and layout was structured in such a way as to easily allow the addition of new projects or new material to existing projects as the developments advance.

Imperium Financial Services is an experienced and established business aiming to meet all your financial needs.

They offer mortgages from the whole of the market and are not tied down to any one lender, therefore always helping you get the best deals.

The site is a static brochure site which displays information about the company, its activities and products and services.

The client gave a fairly specific brief of the kind of look and feel that they wanted and were delighted with the end result as their brief had been perfectly fulfilled.

Leanne Hoffman is a counsellor based in central London.

The brief was to produce a very clean, elegant site to launch the practice and cover this often delicate subject matter.

The client's input included a logo and some other counsellor's websites which we reviewed together and discussed what worked and what didn't and why.

We then set to work to produce this static brochure site coded in HTML and CSS and inline with current web validation standards.

Trinity Financial Group is headed by three professionals who between them have over 30 years' experience as independent mortgage brokers.

The clients supplied their logo as part of the brief and a review of other sites that they liked and disliked along with reasons why.

The site is mainly a static brochure site however there are some additional dynamic elements. These include a blog which they can update themselves - see the Market Matters on the left hand side of every page, enquiry forms which email the contact information and a dynamic testimonials displayer which can be easily updated as new testimonials are added.

The site also includes 2 mortgage calculators which enable clients to work out their monthly mortgage payments or their Buy To Let loan to value.

Sean Pollock is a photographer specialising in portraits of people and places for clients in the areas of design, publishing, advertising, corporate and industrial.

He already had an existing website and identity however the brief was to update it, improve it and add a huge amount of new content.

As is often the case when rebuilding another developer's work, it was easier to begin again incorporating certain key elements rather than attempting to decipher previous work.

The result was an vastly updated version of this talented photographer's very impressive portfolio.

Beat School uniforms is an ecommerce site selling school uniforms directly to parents at vastly discounted prices.

It was the brainchild of one of our existing clients, Beat Design a clothing manufacturer, who came up with the idea of undercutting the high street stores and at the same time giving a percentage of the sales to the school. Thus the parents are saving money, the school is making money and our client is selling lots of clothes.

That was the brief and Carciofino did everything else. We came up with the name, the identity and conceived and built the ecommerce website. Initially the site was built for just one school and the hierarchy has since grown and been rolled out for more.

If you are a parent who currently pays too much for your children’s school uniform then please contact us or Beat School Uniforms directly to explore the option of a contract with your school too.

Judi and Jo are a creative team working in the advertising sector.

“Advertising bigwigs call them a multimedia team” – Their words, not ours. Being creatives they came up with the unique idea that the website should look as though it was designed and written by their mothers.

Having been given this brief and some creative input, the Carciofino designers then set to work realising this idea. The result was something a little different to the norm and a site that the clients were delighted with and has served it’s purpose very well of acting as an online portfolio for them and enabled them to pitch for and secure some great new contracts.

Timepieces is an ecommerce site selling a range of luxury but affordable watches.

All standard ecommerce attributes such as secure ordering, one time user or account setup options for purchasing and a detailed admin system allowing the client to add/edit new products themselves as well as much more in depth functionality so that they can change a whole host of other things.

The site also has a rather unusual use of Flash integrated with their logo so that the the logo you see actually tells the real time.

The Hall School is an excellent boy's private school located in Belsize Park, North London. “It provides an exciting academic and stimulating environment for boys to learn and develop.”

Having visited the school for the initial website brief it became clear that this is indeed a very welcoming environment producing polite and well informed boys and that as always with our clients, the website should reflect the content matter.

It also became clear that a major part of the brief was that the brief could change significantly and that the content would need to be updated almost on a daily level. The solution therefore was to offer the school an extremely sophisticated administration system that provided them with a designed framework within which they could manage the content themselves.

Only the 8 top level pages are fixed outside of the admin control. After that they can add new pages, wherever they like and fully control the type and actual content on them. Thus they can make their own galleries, charts, internal and external links as well as creating sub administrators and giving them rights only over certain areas.

This has proved to be invaluable in an organisation where 1 person could not manage the task of updating everything neither on a time nor on a knowledge level. The result is a continually changing site with new sections, comments and areas being added all of the time. This is the perfect representation of a school which is itself a continually changing environment with constant trips, concerts and classroom activities meaning that every day adds to the wealth of information available to the school, pupils and parents alike.

CV Law are legal recruitment consultants based in the heart of the City of London. After an initial consultation we were able to capture and address the company’s 3 main requirements regarding their website strategy:

• To occupy the now traditional role of an online shop window to give the company its internet presence.
• To automate many of the processes involved with finding new candidates and allowing them to register with the company and submit details and CVs.
• To act as a tool for the companies who wish to recruit utilising the services of CV Law.

We took a very close look at CV Law as a company and how the web could streamline their business processes and we also conducted extensive research of many of their competitors both direct and more general recruitment and job listing websites.

The site obviously features extensive content management to allow the client to keep the data updated themselves and to receive and process candidate’s enquiries. Other functionality allows candidates to register and also request emails when future jobs fitting their profile are added and employers to register and post their own job listings on the site. There is also a section detailing temporary employment and a calendar system which enables candidate, employer and CV Law to save much time in only attempting to match a vacancy with a registered availability.

A full website revamp for this Mortgage Specialist based in Holborn.

Kingsway Mortgages is a broker and as such advises clients on which lender to go with and ensures that they have all the prerequisites that their application will be approved.

They are an extremely professional company based in the city and have corporate and private clients and they needed their web identity to reflect this. The website is mostly static content with subtle use of Flash animation and an updateable best buys page and a mortgage repayment calculator.

The Trinity Group is a private investment banking firm.

They came to us with a very outdated website that did little justice to the company and its activities.

They required a new brochure site that fitted in with their new identity and allowed a structure that included all the content they wanted to convey.

MintTec is an IT company based in Winchester.

They specialise in Virtualisation, VOIP, Data Storage and IT Security. They work to ensure your IT Infrastructure works in harmony with your business model, making your network work for you.

They came to Carciofino at a time when the company was going through a major rebrand and needed a website that would reflect their new fresh attitude to themselves and their clients.

We believe that the end results have fulfilled that brief and the client’s contentment with the final product has validated that.

Planet Investments offers professional Independent Financial Advice to its clients.

The website redesign was conceived in conjunction with a general revamp of the company design and rethink of how it portrayed itself.

There was also the desire to use a minimal amount of Flash present on opening the site but to keep this quick and neat so as not to distract the users.

Having worked for a few financial institutions over time we are also now familiar with the stringent requirements of the FSA and proceeded through the lengthy process of having the site approved by them before it was allowed to go live.

The client came to us with an existing logo and identity. Our task was to extrapolate from this and produce a web presence that would sit in line with what was already there.

The site features static content and Flash animation including an animated logo as a splash screen. The look and feel we agreed on was intentionally corporate so as to appeal to the client’s target market.

Perfect Day Photography is a sub brand of our recommended photographer Sean Pollock. You can see Sean’s work on several of our websites.

Perfect Day was conceived as a package aimed specifically at the wedding, portrait and family market. We came up with the name as well as helping Sean to develop the concept and a specially designed image scroller so as to make it easy to add new images to the site in the future in order to keep the portfolio updated.

If you need imagery for your website (or wedding etc.) then please contact Sean either directly or via our network.
