New WordPress Theme for ADMAN Brighton

The observant of you might have noticed that as of today ADMAN has a new look! Our existing Bueno wordpress theme wasn’t looking very hot on Internet Explorer (IE), the main browser still used by the British public. I liked the flexibility and the widgets that came with Bueno wordpress theme, plus the contemporary feel to it. But it had to go. Having browsed the 100 or so two column themes offered by wordpress I narrowed my selection down to Choco, Mystique and Clean Home. Clean Home, as you would expect does what is says on the tin -  however it didn’t replicated my menus well on IE. Mystique is also nice and clean and a bit funkier than Clean Home but it didn’t easily replicate the setting and widgets I have created with Bueno. Choco is stylish, clean, flexible and could offer the same layout and widgets that I had with Bueno. So Choco it is. Let me know if you like it!

For those of you looking to design your own website, I would really recommend wordpress websites. You can be live in a few hours and wordpress offer all the essentials that a basic website needs. And if you like the sound of this but don’t like the idea of doing it then ADMAN would be happy to do it for you. Please get in touch and tell me what you have in mind.

ADMAN creates walking blog Guysrambles.co.uk

ADMAN is just putting the finishing touches to a walking blog called Guysrambles.co.uk.

Guy's Rambles, walking blog designed by ADMAN Brighton

Guy's Rambles

Its named after its author, Guy, who loves to walk and dare we say it, ramble on a bit. The walking website showcases Guy’s own walks; The Palladian WayThe Ross Round and The Cape to Cape walk as well as hosting regular posts from the man himself as well as tips for great walking pubs. It was whipped up in wordpress using the pool theme with a bespoke illustrated header by Brighton web designers, Republique Design. The site has not officially been launched but Guy tells ADMAN that he has already had an enquiry from The Cotswold Life wanting to review his new book, The Palladian Way.

Brighton on the web

As home of some of the UK’s largest web design and marketing companies like icrossing and Epic you would expect there to be a huge range of websites that tell you how great Brighton is. Here’s my top 10 Brighton websites.
  1. Brighton tourist information and Brighton hotels: VisitBrighton
  2. Brighton events and general news about Brighton: The Argus
  3. Exploring the world of digital media in Brighton: Wired Sussex
  4. Running around Brighton: Brighton Marathon
  5. Getting to know Brighton’s history and residents: Mybrightonandhove
  6. The best pub in Brighton and Hove: Basketmakers Arms
  7. The best Brighton hotel (in my view): The White House
  8. Brighton Festival, Brighton at its best: Brighton Festival
  9. My last two have to be Brighton University and
  10. Sussex University (on a lovely 60′s campus just outside of Brighton). Why wouldn’t you want to study here?

Graphic Designers and Web Designers Brighton

Having worked both for and with local advertising agencies I’ve got to know quite a lot of graphic designers and web designers in Brighton.

My pick of the bunch of graphic designers would be Harrison. Run by Chris Harrison, Harrison are experts in creating brands and visual identity. Their clients include Brighton Festival, VisitBrighton and Barclaycard.

In terms of web designers I would recommend Republique Design. Run by Simon Cooke and Richard Copping, Republique are an innovative team of web designers who are always keen to stay ahead of the competition. Their clients include Virgin Holidays and Bang & Olufsen.
