Tingdene are a large privately owned business specialising in modular design in the UK.  They also have divisions in the marine industry with their Tingdene Boat Sales website and Tingdene Marinas website, also developed by Spinbox Media, and the Holiday Parks sector with Tingdene Holiday Parks.

Their Tingdene Parks website specialises in Retirement Park Homes for the elderly and allows users to search for and view potential homes in one of their 19 parks around the UK.  Their previous site was primarily static and needed to be updated using non-CMS methods.  The property section, at the time, was developed as a bespoke property module and allowed Tingdene to update via a backend.  All this needed to change.

Tingdene commissioned Spinbox Media to develop a new site that could be entirely managed using the Sitefinity 4.3 CMS.  In order to do this, Spinbox needed to develop another bespoke property module and integrate it directly into the Sitefinity backend.

The web design needed to be modern and welcoming with a primary focus on the search for potential homes.  The finished result is a clean and colourful website that can managed entirely from one administration.

When Spinbox Media acquired the JNTO contract several months ago, we were very excited about the prospect of re-designing their existing website.  The current website served a purpose but lacked in respect of SEO potential and design.

We set out to optimise their site initially increasing their traffic by up to 200%.  We knew however that to gain more traffic we would need to create more keyword rich content and maximise their existing content with better usability and design.

The new web design also needed to be bold and functional.  The main ethos behind the design was focused around the display of information that the user would find useful.

Their new site still uses their existing Sitefinity 3.7 Content Management System.  We went through a process of reskinning their existing template architecture and creating additional pages and content.  We spiced up their front-end with jQuery to enhance both aeshetics and functionality and streamlined their member pages in respect of modular training excercises for Trade users.

The end result is an attractive website that will yield better results in SEO and increased traffic.

Lea Valley Homes, an existing client of Spinbox, thought it was about time for a front-end refresh of their existing website.  Previously, we had developed a full bespoke build providing the HomeBuy Agent, Lea Valley, with a complete online application form for affordable homes and and accompanying processing system.  Not only did we provide Lea Valley Homes with a facelift, we also added some technical enhancements to the backend, improving the functionality and streamlining the administration.

Spinbox and RSL Systems were commissioned on behalf of the Mayor of London to produce a website that allowed its users to search for, and apply to live in, affordable homes in London. The system allows Registered Providers and Housing Developers to log on to a back end system and upload and edit homes that can be searched by those who qualify for low cost home ownership.

Users can register with FIRST STEPS, which is delivered by two of London’s largest housing providers, L&Q and Metropolitan Home Ownership (MHO), and complete an intuitive online application form. Users are able to save their progress throughout the application, but once complete, it is processed by backend staff.

With integrated maps, a detailed search facility, bespoke CMS, and a very clever affordability calculator; this website is the flag ship for all London housing websites.

The back end system was a bespoke application developed in house by RSL Systems who have an intimate knowledge of the property market place. Having completed online projects for many housing providers in the past, we were ideally placed to be able to deliver the project swiftly and competently whilst being presented with a stunning front end website designed by us at Spinbox.

Oak Wealth Planning required a new website to represent their new business in the financial marketplace.  It needed to portray the Directors brand vision whilst being slick and interesting for potential visitors.  The site is static which enabled us to concentrate on semantic, standards compliant XHTML code which is always at the forefront of a Spinbox design.

Spinbox really pushed the boat out with a complex eCommerce website for HP Computing Systems Specialists, Port-P.

It goes without saying that this website was developed using the Sitefinity CMS.  What makes this project different was our development of a custom eCommerce plugin that seamlessly integrated into the Sitefinity backend.  This allowes Port-P to comprehensively manage their entire website as well as their online shop.

It's great to see the website grow since it was launched at the end of January 2011 with more pages being added all the time.  The Port-P website illustrates the capacity of Sitefinity and how it can be expanded to suit any application.

After some really cool development and Sitefinity website management done by Spin Box, we have completely re-written all the bespoke modules for MLF, now including a full charity donaton system and account tracking records system, we are expanding Sitefinity at an amazing rate with every project. We also did some amazing looking website designs, however have not gone into full production yet, so thought it would be good for all to see and get some feedback on the new designs?

After a few months of head scratching, shouting and screaming, a few.. Ooohhhhhs and Ahhhhhhs, Spin Box cracked it. We managed to produce an identity with The Sourcerers lead designer as our partner in crime, and redeveloped the full business brand.

With that identified as 3 seperate brands, it was our responsibility to create a web design and website presence that can promote the 3 different brands individually, provide them with a platform that allows them to grow their website, and be flexible to allow blogs and products to be added in the near future. Our thoughts went straight onto Sitefinity CMS, and how we can expand The Sourcerers website to include an ecommerce shop in the near future:

Packaged together with a CMS to control properties, Housing Association areas, new & events, and exports, this system is detailed, complicated and large, but has been presented in a very easy to use format for administration.
