Gloucestershire Police Authority
Posted: 12th Feb 2010
I've just finished working on a new website for the Gloucestershire Police Authority. The brief was to take their old site that was built in the 90s and had very bad information architecture (layout and usability), in to the 2010s.
I redesign the IA, and created a look and feel that was appropriate for the organisation. The idea is to make sure that users who visit get the information they need quickly, but also to provide a reasonably pleasant user experience. Accessibility tools are also provided for screen reading, text and contrast changes.
Visit their site here.
Website is powered by Halogy
Drupal vs Halogy
Posted: 15th Oct 2009
I have been using Drupal this week to build a website with a shop (Ubercart), user login, and obviously content managed areas. I built the HTML/CSS from a provided design (as you normally would), and then went about uploading it to Drupal and setting up the Shop.
It took me the best part of 8-10 hours to install, configure and set up this website (not including the time taken to build the HTML/CSS). It wasn't very easy, and I had to download a lot of modules and configure them just to get a shop running. Please read on...
What we do.
Posted: 25th Sep 2009
Most of our business is now providing CMS powered websites to new businesses and web agencies. Because of our experience and work-flow we are able to offer very competitive fixed fees for our service.
For example, did you know that we can provide a CMS powered website, with template build and support for under £500 ($750)?
We recently launched a new face to Haloweb which does exactly what it says on the tin. CMS PHP provides the design, template build and support for a low, fixed price. And what's more we support many CMS (e.g. Wordpress, Drupal, Halogy).
So if you want us to help you out in this area, email us!

Our Ethos (Web Development Process)
Posted: 31st Aug 2009
I thought I would just share a bit about how we think the web development process should work - from when a client submits a brief to the site being handed over (and beyond). We are calling this the Halogy Ethos because it forms the basis of why we built Halogy.
Headlines Module for Halogy
Posted: 28th Aug 2009
We have recently been working for a client called the Philo Trust building their new site in Halogy. In their brief they requested site-wide feeds from modules such as Shop and Events. In other words they wanted to be able to have a sidebar which always showed what was in their cart, what events are upcoming and what blog posts are recent.
Halogy Donations Module
Posted: 19th Aug 2009
We have just been working on a donations module for Halogy where shoppers are asked whether they want to add a donation to their shopping cart. Upon doing so the donation is simply added to the checkout.
Also the module enables websites to have a donations page where they can make a donation separately and use Gift Aid (so the organisation can benefit from claiming back the tax). So this could be a really useful feature for charities and organisations needing donations.
CodeIgniter E-Commerce Software
Posted: 13th Aug 2009
Well we are very pleased with our new Halogy powered E-Commerce software. We have just finishing making some new updates to the software which up until now has only really been quite basic. Now you can have your customers write product reviews, set up your own customised shipping bands and postage tables, insert discount coupon codes and lots more.
Halogy Wiki
Posted: 17th Jul 2009
Recently we have been developing a Wiki for Halogy. What's so great about a Wiki is that your community help you develop the pages inside. So you might need a load of documentation written, or you might want to write about a recent project that involved lots of people. Well with a Wiki - everyone can be involved with the writing and this saves you a lot of time!
