We’ve just completed work on this website for the Venkatraman Memorial Trust – a small charity supporting the education of children in the fishing village of Kovalam near Chennai in the south of India. It looks like we did OK, if client Lindsay Swan’s comments are anything to go by:
‘We are delighted with our new website. We wanted a design that captured the vibrant colours and spirit of Kovalam and provided an attractive background for our growing photo library. The new site does this beautifully and it is also completely painless to maintain.
Thank you Wingfinger for a fantastic job.’
This site is a good example of our new CMS Web Package Deal – a basic content-managed website with prices starting from just £518 +VAT (including our current 10% introductory discount). If you’d like us to put one together for you, give us a call on 0113 2450469.

It’s been a busy few weeks on the Wingfinger website, with a few additions, changes and updates…
- Gallery pages are now updated with work from the last few months.
- Two new archives have appeared in the Playpen – a collection of team birthday card pictures, and some illustrations sets used for our own marketing campaigns.
- We now have a section of the Playpen celebrating Wingfinger work that didn’t quite make it.
- And finally, we were surprised to find a completely unsolicited shout-out to our site in the Guardian last month as part of an article on creative industry in Leeds. Thank you, Guardian.
Our Playpen mini-site continues to grow as a place for fun things, archives and Wingfinger mad experiments. If we remember to do it, we will post here when new material goes up (we made finding your way in from the main site a bit more of a challenge).
As fun as it is to work on our own website, we do much prefer working on other people’s – and we are currently looking for new website design clients. In fact, we’re launching a special offer, more on this soon…

January has seen the relaunch of the Carplus website. Wingfinger came on board to help carplus restructure content and to bring the site across to a Wordpress-powered CMS. We’ve found Wordpress to be a versatile and accessible content management tool, and are once again pleased with the results!
The site was redeveloped to complement (and in the future, incorporate) an existing site, Carclubs UK, designed by Provokateur design agency. Although the new Carplus site was far more content-driven, and needed several levels of navigation, we used Provokateur’s lovely, crisp imagery to preserve the nice light feel of its sister site.
We wanted a design that would stand up to regular content change and additions, and created a Wordpress theme that would give our client maximum flexibility for content input, without the worries of corrupting the actual page layout (a classic CMS issue!). Along with creating standard pages of text and image content, the client is able to create forms and databases for event bookings, and create, mail out and display XML newsletters.
We’ve enjoyed a great working relationship with Carplus throughout the redevelopment, and have put together an on-going support package to ensure that the site continues to blossom, and remains adaptable for their needs.
Carplus is a national charity promoting responsible car use. Their website contains a wide range of information and resources on sustainable transport information, setting up car share clubs, and the environmental, financial and social impact of car dependency. Find news and updates on the organisation at http://twitter.com/findacarclub.

Well we’ve finally had time to sit down and join the masses with our very own blog, Wingfingerponderings. We hope this will be a happy place, where we can trumpet about new projects, share our passions and concerns (including some that are clients care about, too) and ponder on The World and Everything In It.
This will be a spot for our Wingfinger spirit to take off – hopefully with more success than this pigeon, who tried something similar outside our office a few months back (we think he walked it off and lived to fly another day, though).
To find out more about our graphic design studio in Leeds, the services we offer and the sort of jobs we are doing, visit our Wingfinger website. Learn more about the Wingfinger team and our company ethos, our history and our clients – and have a look through our gallery of work.
