Here are some examples of projects that we have done for our clients.
A custom built CMS drives a flash front end via XML/XSLT. A non-flash version is rendered for users who do not have the plug-in installed. The site uses extensive AJAX techniques to enhance the user experience perhaps best demonstrated by the 'make a note' functionality.
As a sub-contractor to digital agency Halpern Cowan we delivered all the back end systems for this project.
One of the leading independent British publishers of classical, contemporary, educational and media music required a complete system to manage their catalogue of copyright lines and published products replacing their existing paper and spreadsheet one. A bespoke, multi-user, web-based application was built using ASP.NET against an SQL database to meet this need. The system features full search and reporting functionality with interfaces to an external FTP system. A well designed and clearly laid out front end provides a first rate user experience that is further enhanced by the use of technologies such as AJAX. The system is regularly expanded to satisfy more of Faber's business needs and is now underpinning some of the company's major activities.
“Faber Music has worked closely with Peter Fearn on a freelance consultancy basis since January 2007, on a range of challenging IS-development projects. These include: - Online Licensing System - Central Internal Database of Copyright Information - Sheet Music Engravings Archive - Publications Database and Editorial Project Management System In addition to his outstanding programming abilities, Peter's knowledge and understanding the Music Publishing industry and its associated processes has been an invaluable asset to Faber. We are about to embark on two major digitally-oriented projects for 2009 in which Peter's skills will be utilised in order to help us to achieve our strategic targets.”
A CMS based portal website for both the UK and US television shows. Built using ASP.NET (C#) against SQL Server 2005. The full site architecture excluding design and forum was successfully delivered and continues to be enhanced when required. Most recently a childcare and related business directory was added to provide a new revenue stream for the client.
As a sub-contractor to digital agency Halpern Cowan we delivered all the back end systems for this project including a 'find my nearest' directory service.
Media Ingenuity are an innovative company that delivers customers to consumer businesses via constantly evolving digital marketing techniques. We built a bespoke web application in ASP.NET(C#) that is used to manage the capture and distribution of leads. Information about the source and destination of each lead is recorded in an MS SQL database. We also created a reporting suite which produced real-time data on incoming leads and their associated digital channels. Media Ingenuity were then able to analyse the effectiveness of those digital chanels and react immediately to changing market conditions and maximise the profit to be gained from the incoming streams. Several branded websites were also developed to capture lead data., including totallymoney.com.
“Fraser worked closely with Media Ingenuity over a three year period. The technology that Fraser designed and built have become fundamental to our business. The brief was to build from the bottom up a distribution and management platform that would be very adaptable and scalable. Fraser was always very careful to understand the current and future needs of a rapidly evolving business.
His approach is very consultative and flexible. His extensive knowledge of the various technologies available meant that time and time again he selected the best path for us, keeping ahead of the growth of the business which has been very rapid. The system that Fraser developed for us is market leading. It is robust, flexible and well documented making it easy for our development team to pick up and run with it. It now supports the main functions of a valuable technology business.
Fraser has been excellent to work with and I would thoroughly recommend him to any small to medium size business. The benefits of working directly with him versus a ‘cheaper’ offshore solution are beyond doubt. “
Full development, including content and catalogue management, stock control with associated web service and integration with payment service provider built using ASP.NET (C#) and SQL Server. We have a continuing relationship with this client, delivering improvements and enhancements to enable their business to grow.
Hub is a well established boutique fashion clothing store in North London. We delivered a customised implementation of our ecommerce template site with full control of the content in the hands of the business owners.
The most exciting feature of this site from a technical standpoint is the implementation of Microsoft's Deep Zoom functionality. The management tools we delivered as part of the shop provide a very simple interface for uploading large images, which are then converted into a format suitable for displaying to the customer using a javascript only viewer, thus avoiding the need to install Silverlight or Flash.
