A selection of current and past projects Fingermouse has been involved with. If you'd like to know more, please get in touch.
Performance Actors
A complete redesign for Performance Actors Agency, a co-operative acting agency based in London. The site is designed to be simple and striking, with javascript used to provide some movement on the homepage.
The site uses Perch for its CMS, with a collection of customised templates and modifications.
Big House
A youth-oriented site for Big House, part of CMJ UK (see below). The site features chunky text and graphics, and a look designed to appeal to younger visitors.
Useful Donkey Theatre Company
A simple site for a small theatre company, highlighting new productions and details about the company. The site was completely redesigned in 2010 for a 'dirty deco' style, with art deco features on a rough background and TypeKit fonts.
Fingermouse also developed and designed the theatre company's logo and print identity.
Susie Ambrose Clinic
A simple site for the Susie Ambrose Clinic in Knightsbridge, London. A very basic but clean design shows potential clients what services are available and provides contact and location details.
Antony Dunn
A basic site allowing Antony, a published poet and actor, to highlight his publications and activities. The site is updated via a CMS and was designed to be straightforward to use. It uses TypeKit fonts.
The Music Directory
A community website where bands and artists can post biographical details, upload MP3s and enter demo competitions. Featuring useful music industry resources, the site enables new artists to get a foothold in the music industry.
The site is likely to be re-branded as Freeq in the near future.
Sherwood Forest Community Church
A new site for SFCC, a local church who needed a new logo and a new look to their website. The site features a back-end CMS to update content regularly, and the logo/logotype was designed from scratch to closer represent the church in the community.
Ivory Towers
A project for Widernet Communications, this is an Internet dating site aimed at graduates, originally using the same basic site engine as Christian Connection (below).
Fingermouse Internet is responsible for the front end of the site, which was given a complete overhaul at the end of 2008. Much of the original back end code has also been rewritten by Fingermouse.
The site has been featured in the Guardian, Independent, Internet Works various other print and broadcast media.
"Speak Out" Challenge!
This site for SpeakersBank Ltd promotes the "Speak Out" Challenge! - a public speaking workshop and competition running in schools in all London boroughs.
Fingermouse designed and built the web-based admin system for Challenge Trainers. It allows trainers to log feedback for each session, view stats and generate invoices. A master invoice system allows the sponsoring organisation to be invoiced at the end of each term.
Fingermouse also designs and develops workbooks, certificates, brochures, bookmarks and cards for use in schools, and has developed the Speak Out logo.
Christian Connection
This popular Christian Dating site brings together Christians from across the UK and features a range of searching and matching technologies. Fingermouse is currently involved with the site being rewritten from scratch using Ruby on Rails.
Fingermouse built the original graphical front end and developed a consistent look across the site, which has grown and seen extra features added over the years.
This site has been featured many times in the National Press and in the media, and is the UK's most frequently visited Christian website.
Seventy Thirty
Seventy Thirty are a partner-headhunting organisation for affluent people around the world. They find and vet potential partners for millionaires using their network of contacts and staff of professional psychologists. Fingermouse is involved in day-to-day maintenance of the website and producing print material such as magazine and newspaper adverts.
Fingermouse also developed Seventy Thirty's client management system, an online database which handles all of their contacts, communications and client details. Seventy Thirty staff can access client information anywhere in the world and keep track of the status of each contact or potential match.
Seventy Thirty are regularly featured in the national press, radio and television.
Greenbelt Festivals
Fingermouse was involved with Greenbelt Festivals since the very first website for the organisation, and has overseen a number of changes from a single page of information to a full database-backed system.
The back-end database was developed to allow Greenbelt office staff to update every aspect of the site, including rearranging sections as the organisation itself changes. This back end is still in use in the current site, although the front end has since been updated.
True Blue Tech
A simple shop site connected to PayPal's shopping cart system. The site was quickly developed and uses some fast workarounds to get a few quite complicated jobs done very simply.
The shop specialises in selling new technology, and particularly motorcycle headsets using Bluetooth.
CMJ UK
A new site for CMJ (Churches Ministry among Jewish people) in the UK. The site features a customised CMS allowing office staff to update the site quickly and easily.
Riding Lights Theatre Company
Riding Lights is a theatre company based in York who use their website to promote new shows and provide information about the company.
The CMS was built entirely in Perl using a flat-file database which is still powering the main parts of the site today. A replacement system using PHP/MySQL still remains on the drawing board...
Toast
A simple site for a local monthly event for young adults, Toast. The site advertises new events and maintains news on past events and what's happening. A simple CMS enables members to update the site regularly.
