As of the 27th of September Alienation officially started work from our new rooftop office at the Pentagon Centre. The office is situated on the top floor of Washington House with views over the Clyde and the Kingston Bridge. It is also home to our new air hockey table with the weekly championship taking place on a Friday at 4. If you feel up to the challenge why not pop in and try to dethrone the reigning champ. In amongst the commotion of moving we have been extremely busy with a raft of new contract wins and the completion of a number of new sites. Alienation has been going back to University with two new contracts for the University of Glasgow and the University of Dundee. The University of Glasgow Research & Enterprise department secured funding from the Scottish Executive’s SEEKIT programme and the Scottish Innovative Actions Programme 2004 – 2005 to create a new website which will be the entry point for business and industry to the University. The site will provide business and industry with information about Glasgow Uni’s research capabilities and strengths, the commercial opportunities which are available and the variety of ways in which they can work with the University. The new site will also be the first in the UK to feature an Innovative Licensing & Technology section which will allow you to download and pay for ‘off-the-shelf’ licence agreements for software. The School of Life Sciences within the University of Dundee were looking to commission a new site for the School that amalgamated existing sites and presented an improved image for the school and the various different faculties within. The new portal site is required to increase interaction with staff, students and prospective students and increase site traffic. It is also required to provide a cost effective and efficient method of supplying staff, students and prospective student’s up-to-date information. We are also pleased to announce 3 new contracts in the shape of McKever Hotels, Express Property People and Stewart Tower Dairy. McKever Hotels is a rapidly expanding hotel chain which required Alienation to build a portal site to allow them to easily add newly acquired hotels and new apartments for their City Apartments brand. Express Property People is a new venture offering people in the UK a quick means of selling their property by being able to match them up with a cash buyer capable of purchasing their property within a very short time span. This form of “quick property sale” alternative to estate agents has existed in the USA for some time and the trend has grown in the UK over the past 18 months. The website will be an integral part of a wider marketing campaign. Secondly it will be the front end of a filtration and sorting system which will allow leads to be ranked in order of importance or urgency (using data such as time limits required for sale) and able to be easily matched with the requirements and capabilities of an individual investor. Stewart Tower Dairy is a family run dairy based in Perthshire and a newcomer to the ice cream production and retail market. Customers and visitors will be able to watch the whole process of the ice cream creation from the cows grazing through to the ice cream being made. The website will be used to showcase the 400 acre farm, its range of facilities and the stunning scenery. We have also been busy with existing clients having just been commissioned to produce the new marketing site for Netherfield Visual’s Tess demountable product range and the new Global Incubator Network site. A number of projects have recently gone live including the high profile Scottish Executive’s A77 Road Safety Campaign, TAG Theatre, Halspan, Hitsport and Fife Council’s online referral and tracking system (the first of its kind in Scotland). And finally everyone at Alienation would like to congratulate Derek (our lead designer) and Carla on tying the knot recently in Italy, and wish them all the very best for the future.
