Montmartre Hosting

This was a very early project for a job interview. I had three hours in which to come up with a single page design for a fake company called ‘Montmartre Hosting’. A logo was not provided, so I decided I should start there. A quick search of ‘Montmartre’ led me to a church in Paris with a particularly iconic window. I used this as the basis for the logo.

After researching various hosting companies, and the target audience, I settled on a structure. Colour-theory helped me pick a palette of greys and blues that highlighted the reliability of the hosting.

Once I had this finalised, I built a simple layout and flooded it with demo content. With the last hour I figured it might be a nice idea to have simple guide to which hosting plan would be best for the user. I had before been toying with using radio buttons to create advanced interactions, and used this to build the questionnaire. Finally I tidied it up, added some mobile optimisations and submitted it on the three hour window. I have embedded it below.

WEB DEVELOPER IN BRISTOL

Hi! My name is Piers Elliott and I’m a web developer in Bristol who also works with branding and graphic design. Skyfox Design is the company I created in 2002 as the professional face of my work.

Design has always been a life-long passion for me. From a young age, I enjoyed painting, photography and sculpture. This led me to attain Kings School Winchester’s highest individual accolade for Art. I followed this by studying Graphic Design and Fine Art at college, exhibiting and selling my A-Level work at a prestigious London Gallery. I went on to complete my Degree in Graphic Design and Animation at the University of the West of England in Bristol.

Since 2002 I have worked with a variety of clients as a web designer, graphic designer and a brand consultant. From small start-ups and bars to large charities and festivals. Now, as a graphic designer and web developer in Bristol, I help businesses all over the country achieve their goals. All businesses (big or small) should have memorable, unique concepts that will make them stand out from the crowd. That’s why I do what I do. Vivid identities, user-friendly interfaces, clear communication and a focus on the details.

Plus you’ll get totally awesome support afterwards if you need it!

YOUR NEXT BIG IDEA? LET’S MAKE IT STAND OUT.

BRANDING

So you’re starting a new company, or maybe you’re just giving the old one a bit of a freshen up. I’m here to make sure your company goals and ethos are present and at the centre of your company’s voice. Logo design, business cards, stationary are just the start- a great brand is consistent and pervasive through all areas of communication, even the footers on your emails!

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Have you got an idea you want to get down on paper and you just don’t know how to visualise it? Let’s work together on fleshing it out, looking at your target audience and focusing in on the key information you want to get across. Be it for print, the web or even in motion on the screen, I can help bring your concept to life.

WEB DESIGN

A website is a curious thing. It’s like a store front, only it’s interactive. It’s an advert, yet also a destination. It’s the first port of call people will visit to find out about you, and it’s there 24/7 so it has to make a great impression. I will make sure your site fits your brand, looks great on all devices, is super easy to use and most importantly is easy for you to keep fresh!
