Pink Cactus started by creating a new logo for S A Kelly which was then applied to business cards and stationery. The website design was next, with concept focusing on showing off the projects completed by S A Kelly.
The homepage features a large image carousel that cycles through some of the main projects, these link to view the gallery for that project or download a PDF case study. The gallery pages contain an animated slide show that cycles through a selection of images for an individual project. The PDF case studies can be used as a promotional device by the client. They can be printed out or emailed to potential customers. All other sections feature a smaller image carousel of projects.
Devoting the top half of the website to images means visitors can quickly see the quality of S A Kelly’s work, the services offered and the type of projects completed. Textual content on the website was kept to a minimum so the images could take centre stage.

Pink Cactus are pleased to announce that the new, redesigned My Interiors Online has finally gone live.
The site was first launched in 2006. The logo, website design and development were all carried out by the team at Pink Cactus. The design, which was created over three years ago, still looks fresh but the client felt it was time to go for a more luxurious style.
In our re-design we’ve kept the logo and deep red colour from the original website so existing customers would sense some familiarity between the old and new look. We add the touch of luxury by using black for the background instead of the mint green used on the previous site.

Club 76 is Maidstone’s premier gentlemen’s club offering lap and exotic dancing for your enjoyment. Located on ‘raunchy’ Bank Street, Club 76 is the first and only club to offer pole dancing and full nudity lap dancing in Maidstone.
Pink Cactus created a simple website to help promote the lap dancing night, as part of the marketing campaign for Club 76.
The web site structure is XHTML and CSS2 with embedded Flash animations to add interest to the main pages.
The site also includes Google Maps API. This was used, so the power of Google maps could be embedded into the Club 76 website with a custom place marker to pin point the location on the map. Take a look at the final solution at www.club76.co.uk/location
