The Garden House Saxby is garden of the 21st century having traditional elements of design but which is innovative and experimental, and aware of the environment. It features 7 acres of beautiful gardens, wildflower meadows and new woodland, and a mix of traditional features of garden design and innovative ideas.
The website features rolling photography which shows the garden off at its best, in a classic yet modern graphic design.
"I can't say how pleased we are with not just the site itself but with your attitude throughout. You've done more than we ever dared hope in order to ensure that everything was as close to our wishes as possible. We have had some poor experiences with other previous web designers/hosts and everything about Metanym has been a very pleasant surprise. The way you conduct your business is exemplary and we would recommend you without hesitation." (Peter Ardron, Aurora Studio)
Aurora Studio is a modern, specialist wedding photography studio which, whilst rejecting traditional styles in favour of contemporary wedding photography, does not limit itself to reportage or photojournalism styles.
The new Aurora Studio website is a fully interactive XML database-driven Flash website, which shows off the beautiful photography to fantastic effect. The flash website is completely handcoded (2689 lines of actionscript!!) - no cheesy off-the-shelf one-size-fits-all image gallery here! It also has a duplicate non-Flash version behind it for search engine optimisation and accessibility purposes, and online purchasing of wedding photos, and is fully content manageable via a secure administration system, allowing the owners to create new galleries, weddings and other website sections and control the images in these.

"Dear Metanym Team
Many thanks for your efforts in completing the new-look wineparties.co.uk web site. The original analysis and recommendations were strong and researched in detail. We have been pleased with the visual and technical outcome which have already begun to raise eyebrows amongst users. It has been great to work with you on the project and we at Wineparties look forward to our continued collaboration on making the site and business grow." (David Chafer, Director, Wineparties.co.uk)
WineParties.co.uk offers an innovative new concept in home entertainment - a DIY blind wine-tasting party kit. You get everything you need in a box to host your blind wine-tasting evening.
The project began with an in-depth analysis of the traffic on the poorly-performing existing website. Using Google Analytics, we were able to discover that site visitors were confused about the products and services on offer. The result was an abnormally high atrition rate between the home page and checkout, resulting in low online sales.
We designed a clearer website structure, which combined with a visual re-design, provides a much more effective buying experience. The new website combines eye-catching graphics with an easy to use online store where you can buy the kits or individual wines. There is a complex back-end order and content management system to allow the site owners to ensure the smooth running of their business.

"We are delighted with our new, redesigned website, and initial reaction from teachers, governors, parents and students has all been very positive.
What is particularly helpful is that, being non-experts, the design allows us to tailor pages, layouts and add content with ease. When we have had minor difficulties, the designers have been patient and prompt in dealing with these." (Marcus Priestley, Deputy Head Teacher, Thomas Bennett Community College)

We had a number of meetings as the design developed and at every stage Jon was positive and responsive to my needs.
