Rareform, a very sucessful branding company in Shoreditch, London approached Aspire to build their website and back end system. Aspire worked closely with Rareform's design team to build the main site along with the mini websites within such as the blog and newsletter sections.

This was a very challenging but enjoyable project which is completely updatable by Rareform staff. It was vital that anyone could update and manage the website with little web knowledge.

Luxury property investment firm based in Manhattan, New York.

StarCities needed a fast, simple and elegant site to showcase their position within the luxury property market.

This project was a collaboration with the designer Lyndsay Lucero. Her finalised design solution was sent to us for construction and coding. As the project progressed we suggested enhancing the navigation, user interface and content via dynamic animations. The idea was approved, with Aspire developing and coding the solutions during the build phase.

The website demonstrates a sophisticated combination of stylish design with a engaging navigation and user experience.

Luxury living at a contemporary and stylish property development in Portugal.

Working with Rareform London, Aspire built this property website from completed design layouts. The project had a challenging deadline, with strict guidelines to be adhered to.

As architects for the entire site we set about structuring the build process and coding requirements. We were able to provide the finishing touches to the site's animations and interactivity, whist still meeting the deadline. The site was completed to an extremely high level, with web standards and search engine optimisation being key factors in the coding process.

The Keys demonstrates our ability to successfully collaborate with agency partners to produce an efficient and sophisticated website solution.

Acclaimed songwriter and producer based in London.

Sacha Skarbek is a very successful songwriter who co-wrote much of James Blunt's first album. He has gone on to work with Adele, Duffy, Tristan Prettyman, Jason Mraz and many more artists.

This website needed a creative design solution, whilst still being easy to navigate and simple to update. A flash music player was built into the site, providing the visitor with the ability to listen to the music at the click of a button.

The design solution met the criteria, visually displaying the range of recordings that Sacha has worked on, combined with allowing visitors to listen to audio samples.

Professional photographer Francisco Soeiro's portfolio of images.

Brief was to create a straight forward site for Francisco to maintain his portfolio. Francisco has some great photographs which were divided into the appropriate sections. We used javascript to scroll between the galleries and to give a small preview of their content. We also implemented a CMS system so Francisco could upload, arrange, delete and manage his own galleries. The site is clean and simple, which frames the photographs so they standout from the page.

Site designed for artist and designer Damian Griffiths. Brief was 'simple', but at the same time we wanted to avoid the poor font choices and layout pitfalls of bland simplicity. We used javascript and flash to combine all the galleries into one single layout that could be flicked between. Hidden links and terms sections also help to give the impression of emtpy simplicity.

Dirty design for the playful DJ Kid Circus. Original idea was to totally transform the previous design ideas. We wanted impact, playfulness and usability. Michael wanted it to be easy to navigate and hence all the content is loaded into one single frame and the user just moved around within it.

HOSTING

At Aspire Design Studios we offer unparalleled hosting, dependent on the needs of the client, but based on one of the industries leading providers. MediaTemple (mt) GRiD server is powered by clusters of scalable servers working together to provide unprecedented flexibility and stability.

Media Temple's (gs) Grid-Service is a completely new hosting service that replaces yesterday's obsolete shared server technology. We've eliminated roadblocks and single points of failure by using hundreds of servers working in tandem for your site, applications, and email. The (gs) Grid-Service's on-demand scalability means you'll always be ready for intense bursts of traffic and the growing audience resulting from your online success.

In the past, your site (along with hundreds of other sites) was stored on one server making it vulnerable to resource limits and inevitable hardware failure. Beyond simple load balancing, the Grid uses an ever-expanding "cluster of clusters" all working together to serve your site with blazing fast response times. Resource limits, hardware failures and everything else you hate about shared hosting is history! The Grid was designed and built with numerous layers of redundant hardware, software, network and power systems.

Business class web hosting meets utility computing. The new (gs) Grid instantly and automatically scales your site during sudden traffic surges so you do not have to worry about last minute server upgrades. The (gs) Grid keeps you informed every step of the way with resource usage monitors you can see. The days of arbitrary, ever-changing resource limits are over. Standard in each (gs) Grid-Service plan is a generous allocation of Grid Performance Units (GPUs) sufficient to power 95% of the sites we've ever seen. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones with massively growing traffic, you can rest assured that the Grid has you covered.
