Well, it’s been a great year here at Authentic Style and we’ve been fortunate enough to work on some fantastic projects throughout the year – I’d like to share some of these with you in a quick roundup below. Enjoy!
Spring
So, the year began with some fantastic projects: 
Hushh Radio
A website design project for an online radio station. Hushh wanted a modern, underground feel that would appeal to young people. We were responsible for the new look and feel and also producing the HTML5 / CSS / jQuery templates they needed to integrate with their radio platform. View Project 
Abbotts Ann Cycles
This was a responsive ecommerce website, which we built on WordPress, for an exciting new bike shop in Wiltshire. The site enables Abbotts Ann to sell their entire range online and manage their stock easily. View Project 
Track Record Global
We created a fresh new brand and website for TRG, a compliance company with bases in London, Brighton, Oxford and Dorset (just a couple of doors down from our own office). View Project 
Punica
Punica were a brand new company looking to sell unique Turkish items online. We created the brand and their responsive ecommerce website, which has allowed them to begin to reach a wider audience online. View Project 
Eve
This was quite a complicated WordPress website for an eco vehicle sales and knowledge transfer company. The site allows users to register and list their eco vehicles for sale, but it also serves as a knowledge base and community for people to share and discuss everything to do with transport and the environment. There’s Q & A, guest blogging and more. View Project 
Ski Collection
We were commissioned by Ski Collection to refresh their dated logo, which they’d been using online for many years. The new logo aimed to provide a much more modern look, but keep the ski-slope “S” shape from their old logo to retain some similarity.
Summer
The middle of the year brought yet more wonderful projects to work on including: 
Ivory Jacobs Recruitment
This was a responsive web design project for a specialist recruitment agency, who place recruitment professionals into other recruitment agencies throughout the UK. This site has been the subject of many lovely comments. View Project 
Sarah Bennett Golf
A unique responsive WordPress website project for Essex based PGA Golf Professional Sarah Bennett. View Project 
The Dorset Autobarn
Stan Kingsbury, a fellow tenant in our office building, was keen to start a second business selling vintage car memorabilia. We created a modern, clean, responsive ecommerce website allowing him to get the business started.
Autumn
As the Autumn came we were thrilled to work on projects for: 
Love SoulChoir
A clean, modern, responsive design and development project for a leading pop & soul choir based in Southampton and Bournemouth in the South of England. 
Stiles Harold Williams
Design/development of a responsive HTML email newsletter template for independent property advisers, based in the south east of England. Everything in the email is content managed, allowing SHW branch managers to create newsletters for their branch using MailChimp quickly and easily.
Winter
The end of the year has been really busy and, as we speak, we’re flat out working away on projects that won’t be launched until early in 2015 but we’d like to give you a sneak peek of some of these here: 
Skinmaze (Serenity Beauty)
Skinmaze is a beauty salon based in Westbourne, Bournemouth. We’re helping them create a site that sells all their products and also showcases the salon and the treatments they offer. 
Mineral Beauty (Serenity Beauty)
Mineral Beauty (part of Skinmaze) will be a resource site with a focus on creating great content. This will include reviews and product comparisons to drive people to the Skinmaze shop to buy the products they’ve just read about. … and we’re set to have some more exciting new projects for Jan 2015.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
From all of us here at Authentic Style we hope you have a lovely Christmas, enjoy some downtime and come back feeling nice and refreshed in 2015.
