End of 09 at Enigin
Well, that time of year is upon us again, and as usual, I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown by!
It’s been an extremely productive year for us in the Enigin R&D department and I thought it may be a good idea to highlight so of the projects I’m particularly proud of that what we’ve achieved as a team.
One of the biggest projects completed was a complete overhaul of the websites we offer Enigin Distributors. These have proven to be an invaluable asset for the Distributors in providing them with key information on Enigin products and benefits which their customers can benefit from. The format and clarity we’ve worked hard to achieve has met with positive responses and sits well in the ‘family’ of Enigin websites. To see what we’ve done, go to: www.enigin.co.uk
The other big project has been the re-design of www.enigin.com Both the .com and .co.uk sites are now predominantly white as opposed to the original black backgrounds. Time has shown us that, although black looks sophisticated and professional, it’s hard on the eye to read text. And as the fundamental role of the website is to convey information, we’ve opted for white with cool grey gradients to alleviate this problem.
You’re probably thinking why is my blog black then! Yes you’re right I will be amending this shortly.
I’ve created icons for all the sub-sections, which help to soften the corporate feel of the site, but without being trivial. We’ve created a template which allows for text, pictures and video to be displayed in an engaging format, with space to let your eyes ‘breathe’. Some sites are packed with information, but cram everything on to one page, I personally find this a real ‘turn off’ and always try to avoid this is any aspect of design.
The third project to come out of the Enigin stable this year is the Eniscope 4.0 update. I’ve mentioned this a couple of times now, but am now very pleased to say it has been launched! There will be a dedicated page on www.enigin.com explaining the key benefits and redesigned elements, so instead of me going on for ages, best to go straight to this page for a full update. Here’s a screen shot to get you started!
That’s it for now. There’s plenty of new, exciting projects coming up in the new year which I will post as soon as they come available for public viewing. A very happy Christmas to all and here’s looking forward to a great 2010.
