Koodoo Live

2009-03-18T07:34:00.000-07:00

We are often asked what it is like to work as part of a dynamic team in a creative environment and it’s hard to explain.. so we have created a Koodoo Live page which will feed live webcams from our office during office hours.

We do have some other plans for the ‘Koodoo Live’ page which will include a ‘what we are listening to’ list and also incorporate some pictures and twitter feeds... this will all come in time...

It’s hard to say if this is something which will stay with the company or something which is a little bit of fun for now, whatever it is.. it’s fun and it means you can that little bit more involved with the team...

If you use twitter and want to twitter the team then please include the harsh tag #KoodooLive.

Whitehouse Funeral Service is an independent family run and owned funeral business in Darlington, County Durham. They came to Koodoo Creative for a revamp of their website. Koodoo provided Whitehouse with a new design and a easier to use system.

"We at Whitehouse Funeral Service pride ourselves on the quality of service we provide, this quality of service is the key to our success. So when it was time for us to update our company website, it as important for us to enroll a company who also believed in these key values. A company we could trust, a company with fresh, new and different ideas. That’s why we chose Koodoo Creative. From the very first meeting, right through development to the new website going live, the company excelled in every department. Creating a website for a Funeral Directors is never the easiest and I commend Koodoo Creative on their manner and approach to such a project. I will definitely be using Koodoo Creative in the future and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone in the future who requires such a service."

Railway website is full steam ahead!

2008-12-05T07:44:00.000-08:00

We were approached by Graeme from Railway House with a brief to take a system which he was currently using and recreate it adding in some additional functionality. This website has been a nice little project for the Koodoo development team.

Although the system is nothing ground breaking and nothing too taxing for our development team we have been able to provide the client with a system which enables them to manage their business much more productively.

The system incorporates a number of calendar views to enable an ‘at a glance summary’ of what apartments are booked, which are not available for public booking and what overriding price is set for a given night. The system also makes the booking procedure for the customer a much more relaxing experience. The design of the site has been designed to be calming and inviting whist the system has been built to enable the customer to book quickly and easily.

2008-11-20T04:40:00.000-08:00

In the down time between working really really hard on Yakuza Clothing we have had time to fit in Trade Interchange its live and we think it looks pretty cool. Not that thats the most important thing, functionality is of course... Well have to say its pretty good at that 2 (i developed it so im going to say that!)

The brief was to develop a CMS web site using asp and a MS SQL server 2000 db. Easy we said and got to working on it straight away. It has all the usual, built with SEO in mind, CSS'd up and a clever flash banner (which i also did)

So were gettin some nice/clever sites out now building up a great reputation as we go.

Keep posted we have some excellent projects on the way

Koodoo’s can-do people beef up the big launch

2008-07-02T15:30:00.000-07:00

AN INNOVATIVE North East creative agency has proved the perfect choice to help the region’s leading business membership organisation launch a new campaign.

Koodoo Creative has designed the website for the North East Chamber of Commerce’s (NECC) Innovation campaign, launched in partnership with BT, which aims to showcase the best examples of forward thinking amongst North East businesses.

Adam Lee and his team, Sam Whisker and James Mills, are the brains behind the new website - www.northeastinnovation.co.uk - which will be used to inform North East businesses how they can get involved in the campaign.

Adam said: "Working with the likes of NECC and BT has been a fantastic opportunity for Koodoo, as it has provided us with a chance to show the big organisations in the region exactly what we are capable of.

"The new campaign is a great idea and will really open up the playing field to all businesses in the North East, large and small, to show just how much innovation is in the area."

Ross Smith, NECC head of policy and research, said: “It stands to reason that a campaign launched to showcase innovation would need an innovative website to match, and the work Koodoo has produced has really delivered on that.

"The North East is a hot bed of innovation right now, and the campaign will not only highlight this, but look at what more can be done to support it. The website will play a key part in communicating that, so we are delighted with the job Koodoo has done."
