Patchrobe

Patchrobe is delighted to be continuing works with Chris Hancock's team at Nyble Digital to launch The Propagator - a crowdfunding website targeted at technology startups. More news soon...

This week saw the go-live of the new portfolio site for Intermission, a London based company specialising in the production of movie trailers. The site http://www.intermissionfilm.com showcases the work of the new company, a collaboration between the well-respected All City (winner of Creative Agency of the Year and known for dozens of print campaigns including Black Swan, The Kings Speech and Coriolanus) and new talent Sam Cryer who is already making waves with new trailers for films such as Pusher, Another Earth, Bullhead and Being Flynn.

In the last few weeks we have been working on the specification for stage 1 of the Sunseeker Superyacht Management Virtual Yacht Management project.

The Sunseeker Crew Access site is now live at http://jobs.sunseekercrew.com

It's some work of which Patchrobe is rightly proud. Every single component of the job, from the business analysis, hardware specification and building the web and mail servers to the custom CMS module development and graphic design - absolutely everything was produced in-house.

We're delighted with it as a portfolio piece and the response from Sunseeker has been equally unequivocal. This is what Victoria had to say upon seeing the release:

The original site for matthewhancock.co.uk has been completely rebuilt and is now a Drupal installation supporting Matthew's campaign for West Suffolk. We wish Matt all the best as he engages in the general election campaign over the coming weeks.

The new version of the webcam for Dick's Sand Bar has just gone live.

The old javascript controls have been replaced with a new AJAX interface, which provides much looser coupling of the webcam and the site providing greater security for the system. The webcam has also moved to our dedicated server providing much faster performance and a longstanding cabling issue has been tracked down.

I'm please to announce the go live of phase one of http://www.matthewhancock.co.uk

This was a rapid development with all components live in just over a week of the site being commissioned. There is some very interesting automated mail functionality. We're looking forward to further expansion of the site in the future and wish Matthew the very best with his campaign.
