GRIFFEN MILL PIXEL FACTORY







14TH AUGUST 2019 - GO WIDE WITH OUR NEW DESIGNS

We build all our designs on the PHD Interactive website platform as its then so
easy for our clients to make their own changes and it also delivers great
results. Unlike the standard PHDi service though we have our own design layer
that gives us much more flexibility on layout and style and we've just completed
a completely new version of this we're calling Social FullWidth. We're pretty
excited about it as it's not only powerful and enables us to do some really
stylish effects but the content manager retains the same simplicity. It means
that clients can still make updates as well as use the new layout effects
themselves. What are we on about? Here's an example to explain





30TH APRIL 2019 - SILVER GALLERY IS LIVE

After 6 months of development and testing we are delighted that WebHealer is now
offering our Silver Gallery designs as a mainstream option. WebHealer clients
are able to choose these at sign up as well as at any time in the future. It was
an intensive development period for us and we are still actively involved as we
have created a Silver Factory production process where we develop new designs
each week for the Silver Gallery. It is working even better than we hoped and
the quality is great - although the opportunity to fine tune stylistic elements
is limited compared to our fully bespoke projects this is still design work of a
very high quality that we are very proud of. Here's an example for a counselling
website. These Silver Gallery designs are only available directly from
WebHealer.





8TH FEB 2019 - GRIFFEN MILL WEBSITE RELAUNCH

Our new design is finally live. We went for a low key design backdrop to give
the images more punch - a style we're using more and more these days on client
websites. There are a few behind the scenes tricks going on as well as to make
the content layout in the best possible way and which make use of flexbox. Of
course its super mobile friendly as well. If you're looking for a design upgrade
to your own website why not drop us a line?





10TH SEPT 2018 - SILVER GALLERY

We've been thinking hard over the Summer about how we can help more PHD
Interactive clients get access to high quality unique design without incurring
the costs that tend to accompany bespoke design. There is our Silver Design
service of course which is very popular and costs only £39 but PHD Interactive
challenged us to come up with something else - something even better!

And so we have. We are putting finishing touches now to our Silver Gallery
service. The Silver Gallery is a collection of pre-made designs, each created by
an experienced designer. Clients will be able to preview their PHD Interactive
website using any of these designs and choose the one they like best. Each
design will be unique so once it has been chosen and paid for, no one else can
have it. The cost? All we can say for now is that you will like it.





15TH MARCH 2018 - CALL TO ACTION GRAPHICS

With the recent launch of Active Images, PHD Interactive have added a great
facility to their website editor that we recommend clients make use of. It aids
navigation and provides us designers with a great tool to engage visitors and
encourage them to take a look at what's on offer... ideally resulting in an
enquiry, subscription or some form of action. The website editor includes some
free 'call to action' graphics (such as the one opposite) and we're also
enjoying making custom graphics for our clients. Get in touch if you'd like us
to make something for you.





6TH NOV 2017 - NEW LOOK COMING

Yes we know this design is dated and clunky. Like all good cobblers we're so
busy creating beautiful designs for clients, we've neglected our own footwear.
The new design is however ready for final testing and go live.





20TH SEP 2017 - THE VALUE OF GOLD DESIGN

We just completed some very interesting analysis to assess the business benefit
of the design work we do here at Griffen Mill. We looked at the before and after
impact of a Gold Design, specifically looking at designs by James Morrison of
Blue Squash, who is part of Griffen Mill. The bottom line was an average benefit
of over £1,800 per year to clients. To see the full analysis visit the WebHealer
blog.





27TH JUNE 2017 - PHD INTERACTIVE REDESIGN

Top designer at Griffen Mill, James Morrison of Blue Squash Design just
completed a fresh new redesign of our key partner's website
www.phdinteractive.co.uk. As ever he's been pushing design boundaries and
developed a few very useful techniques that will get brought to other client
websites in the near future. Yes, we know, it's high time this website got a
facelift. Don't worry work is in progress.





5TH MAY 2017 - SILVER REWARDS

There's a new way for WebHealer clients to get their hands on a custom Griffen
Mill design. Up until now you could either choose one of our fully bespoke Gold
designs or the special WebHealer Silver Design service which is a rapid
simplified approach. Now the Silver Design team has made arrangements with
WebHealer to support their Silver Rewards programme. The way it works is that
WebHealer clients who introduce two or more therapists to sign up to the
WebHealer service are entitled to a Silver Design as a thank you, and WebHealer
will pay for it!





23RD MARCH 2017 - SUPER HERO PROMOTION

We had a great response to our promotional offer during January and February
2017 for the new Super Hero design, with a take up of over 40 WebHealer
customers going for the new style. In total there are now almost 250 Silver
designs live and as we continue to refine and improve the styling we expect this
service to become more and more popular.





17TH JAN 2017 - BRAND NEW SUPER HERO

We've relaunched our Super Hero silver design. It's a much fresher cleaner
design whilst offering more sophisticated enhanced mobile responsiveness with
enhanced design elements. This relaunch is part of our new "trickle down"
approach of borrowing ideas and innovations from our gold design team and
working them into packaged silver designs, enabling great modern design at super
low silver costs.





22TH NOV 2016 - 200 SILVER DESIGNS

This has been a great year for design innovation. Recent technology enhancements
have added a lot more flexibility for beautiful and engaging gold designs. We'll
show some examples shortly, however the work that has been giving the most
benefit to the most people has been our low cost silver design service. We've
worked hard to streamline the process this year and we just notched up our 200th
design.





15TH SEPT 2016 - GO TO PAGES

Those therapist icons we designed for WebHealer clients became even more useful
in the last few days. The PHD Interactive content management system just added a
simple "Go To Page" system to make it very easy to use our icons as a way to
click through to your special offer page or discount voucher page. This is much
more intuitive and likely to increase click through rates for those using these
offers. Go To pages can be enabled via the new Special Features section of the
Administration Area.





27TH JULY 2016 - THERAPIST WEBSITE ICONS

Back in 2013 we made a set of animated graphics which could be used by
therapists to enhance their websites, primarily with customers of WebHealer in
mind. Today we agreed with WebHealer that the graphics could be built into the
image libraries of all WebHealer clients so they can be selected and displayed
on WebHealer websites with a simple selection from a pull down list. The work
has now been done, so if you're a WebHealer client go try them out. See
Therapist Website Icons for a reminder of what they look like.





8TH MARCH 2016 - PARAGRAPH STYLES

Our latest design tool has been great fun to work with. We call it paragraph
styles and it provides a way to style different paragraphs for different
purposes, allowing the client to produce very elegant content without having to
worry about the design styling. The content management stays just the same with
very simple editing and just the addition of a code in the paragraph to
determine the style. See www.bespokemassage.org.uk for a great example.





3RD DEC 2015 - GOLD DESIGNS

It is now 2 years since we created the social media and mobile friendly design
platform Social colourMAX for clients of PHD Interactive. It can look great in
its standard form, but we've really been enjoying pushing the boundaries of the
design for customers choosing our bespoke ("Gold") redesign service. Lots of
small technical improvements over the last 2 years have made some lovely design
possible, such as this example for therapist Marie Fleming. Marie was delighted
with the design as were we. See www.lifewithpassion.co.uk





7TH OCT 2015 - 100 SILVER DESIGNS COMPLETED

We get a steady stream of requests from WebHealer these days for Silver Designs,
so much so that we have just completed our 100th. Not bad considering it is such
a new offering. Clients love the results that can be achieved for such a modest
outlay of typically £25. The Personal Hero format is particularly popular as
well as Action Hero which is another great looking design. For more information
about the options available using our Silver Design service see WebHealer Design
Options Tour.





1ST SEPT 2015 - ADMINISTRATION AREA REDESIGN

Last month we completed the redesign of all administration pages behind the PHD
Interactive system. This has been an ongoing process over the last couple of
years, as most of the pages have had a significant functionality upgrade as well
as cosmetic/usability improvements. The last page to get a makeover with the new
black background look is the Visitor Statistics page depicted, which we improved
with a new dynamic chart to replace the clunky old bar chart. The database guys
at PHD Interactive also did a fantastic job providing a lot more data for
analysis than had previously been available so overall this is something we're
all proud of. This page is in beta test with customers of WebHealer at present
and will be available to all within a month.





26TH JAN 2015 - COLOUR SCHEME DESIGNER

We've just completed development of a powerful new feature for the PHD
Interactive Administration Area for clients. The Colour Scheme Designer is a
live colour scheme design and preview tool enabling clients to personalise the
look of their website to match their branding or personal taste.





4TH JULY 2014 - SILVER DESIGN SERVICE

Griffen Mill is delighted to be launching a new approach to custom website
design, which is now available for clients of WebHealer. It is called the Silver
Design service and sits between the full bespoke service (Gold) and the
self-service approach with help from WebHealer's customer service team (Bronze).
Its an approach that works really well with the new mobile friendly Social
colourMAX design and offers some really high impact stylish and individual
looking website design at great budget prices, such as this example alongside.
See the WebHealer Design Options Tour for more information.





4TH FEB 2014 - BESPOKE SOCIAL COLOURMAX DESIGNS

An exciting day for us at Griffen Mill. The new Social ColourMax design running
on a 960 grid platform is up and running, and we're starting to get stuck into
creating some lovely bespoke designs using it. Its the latest technology running
HTML5 and fully responsive it looks great on big screens, laptops, tablets and
phones.





6TH JAN 2014 - THERAPIST ICONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

Our original Therapist Website Icons were very popular, so we've made a couple
more specifically focussed on helping therapists reach out to those thinking of
making a new year's resolution to reduce the stress in their lives. See New
Year's Resolution Icons.





2ND OCT 2013 - MOBILE OPTIMISED DESIGNS

After recently creating the Mobile colourMAX design platform for PHD
Interactive, we're working on a series of mobile optimised designs to complement
it. Not only are they responsive, but to address issues with cross device font
inconsistency we're going with the Google Fonts system of dynamically loaded web
based fonts. The next one which is now very advanced in development will be
Social colourMAX, an exciting development for WebHealer, as we are taking a
completely new approach to the underlying website structure. If you think you
can recognise a WebHealer website, this will look very different.





31ST MAY 2013 - MOBILE FRIENDLY RESPONSIVE DESIGN

Responsive website design is the new standard to ensure that your website is as
readable on a phone, as it is on a wide screen laptop. We've been developing and
testing a solution to this over recent months, and are now able to offer it to
Griffen Mill customers on a bespoke design basis. The key is for the website to
detect screen width and adapt the display accordingly, adjusting menus, font
sizes and positioning as required.
