Bramshott Place Website Phase Two Launch

Bramshott Place, a new retirement village development in Liphook, Hampshire has had phase two of it's website launched.

Phase two has seen a website proper being launched as opposed to phase one which was basically an under construction page. The new site has taken the early stages of the newly signed off corporate style and incorporated this site-wide.

The actual building site in Liphook has only just gone into construction with still many elements regarding planning to be sorted out. Powderdust Creative Design has had a huge hand in designing printed brochures, posters, flags and signage all of which will be making it's way online in the future with enhancements to phase two and the launch of phase three around Christmas 07.

TPE New Corporate Logo Launched

The Print Environment (TPE) has launched its new corporate branding after signing off logos designed by Powderdust Creative Design.

The Cornish dye-sublimation company approached Powderdust after recently setting up operations near Newquay. "What we need is a brand that stands out and can be used in a variety of ways", stated Nick Davies, co-founder of TPE. Powderdust listened to this and presented a whole raft of designs to chose from. Nick and John Purse, the other co-founder, promptly chose a design and placed an order for a full suite of business stationery. Later, TPE approached Powderdust with a proposition for an ecommerce website, which is now under construction.

The website will be hosted with Powderdust who supply a ColdFusion based ecommerce solution. More on TPE's website soon.
