Excell Group are a leading provider of Voice & Data services, while Excell Mobile deals specifically with mobile solutions. This includes a range of handsets and accessories but also a set of software such as Mobile Manager (used by businesses to monitor employees' mobile phone use and spend). We've worked with Excell a few times in the past (have a look through our portfolio for examples), but this time they came to us with an aim to increase their web presence - which was of course an offer we couldn't refuse. A few weeks on, the website looks great (if we do say so ourselves!) and all the relevant information on Excell Mobile and all their products is only a few clicks away. Plus, we're not the only ones that are happy with the site - this is what Excell had to say about the project: 'Just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism and commitment to the project. I’m delighted with the final outcome. Please pass on my thanks to your team.' So don't just sit there, have a click around and tell us what you think!

In Space Snaps, instead of space invaders or tumbling boulders, you must defend the precious lower territory of the screen from an onslaught of stock photography. Not a very common enemy in the gaming world but a formidable one none the less. Get your arcade on and bust up a high score, 80’s style.

Remember last week when I mentioned our work for the Buffalo Club? Well, today I'd like to share with you another aspect of our multimedia capabilities - this time in the form of a video. What we lovingly call the 'Behind the Scenes' video is going onto the new and improved Buffalo Club website (have a look at the site and let us know what you think - new and improved, right?). It tells the story of the below mentioned photo-shoot, so you can see the evening unfold for yourselves! Let us know what you think. The Behind the Scenes video will also be joined with a much more 'slick' Trailer video shortly (watch this space).....

Higher Ground have had the opportunity to work with a fresh new band called 'Meisha'. You can listen to some of their songs on their MySpace page. When we first met them, this self-proclaimed Alternative/Trip Hop/Electro band, signed by EMI Records (!!), were after a new logo. The brief was: something simple with a lot of impact - something similar to the logos of Morcheeba, Portishead and Massive Attack. Click here to view logo. We are also going to be working with Meisha on their new music video (again !!) in the coming weeks (watch this space). The star of opportunity twinkles on the horizon....

What an exciting start to 2009! Firstly I would like to thank and accept this award on behalf of everybody who played a part of making this happen (tears, sob, cry) and I would like to thank my parents... just joking, but not about the award. Here at HQ we are as giddy as can be as our web designs have not gone un-noticed and we have won this month’s BAD Award! No, this is not an award for being bad at what we do! It’s the Britain Awards Design and is up for grabs each month and is open to anyone and everyone. Last month we decided to enter The Buffalo Club website which we created back in November 08’ and we are delighted to announce that we bagged this month’s hot spot. This award is open to anyone in the UK and covers all aspects of web design ranging from student to professional participants and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Check out the website to see Higher Ground featured on BAD’s home page. Good news!

Well here’s the low down, Higher Ground were approached by Rough Guides to create a viral campaign to help with the launch of their new book, and compiled this video for them with some of the biggest and funniest clips from the world wide web guaranteed to make you LOL!
