Global Vision International

Overseas Volunteering

Designed and built a number of large scale websites

Sound in Theory worked with ethical volunteering organisation Global Vision International (GVI) to improve their existing UK and US websites, so they are more accessible and engaging. GVI needed websites that would attract people to join the volunteer programmes they run, whilst capturing GVI's unique commitment to the 2,000 volunteers they send on trips worldwide and the countries they operate in. We created the entire backend for the new sites to enable GVI to easily update the sites and add to and amend their ever-increasing number of new trips. A custom built admin system allows GVI to track and manage payments in four different currencies.

It also features a comprehensive CMS that enables Yomps to easily add to, update and amend the site, making weekly or seasonal changes easy to manage.

Louhannah Bar & Lounge

Trendy London Bar/Restaurant

Full Flash Website

Nothing quite tempts people into your establishment than a website that shows its visitors just what they could enjoy when they come. The full-flash website Sound in Theory created for the bar and lounge Louhannah is designed with this in mind, and reflects the vibrant, fun nature of the Putney-based establishment. We reconstructed the whole bar in a 3D modelling program and then created an animated fly-through for each section of the site, including an image gallery positioned on the bar wall, a drinks menu that appears as a poured drink, and an animated food menu and location map.

Flatline Festival

Snowboard, Freeski & Music Festival

A Static Website with Flash Elements

The organisers of the Flatline Snowboard and Music Festival asked Sound in Theory to create a website that will entice people to their inaugural event, after rejecting the site design of a previous company they employed, finding it did not reflect the scale or quality of their festival. With a limited timescale and budget, we created a website that captures the festival’s cool, contemporary and youthful edge, and draws together its main components: music and extreme winter sports. The site features an animated flash homepage, a music player that features acts on the line-up and a news section that the Flatline team can update.

As well as looking exciting and invigorating, the functional site contains navigation that is flexible for expansion and features straightforward links from the front page to the main client base.

Abey Smallcombe

Experts in Earth Art & Architecture

A Portfolio Website With Flash Elements

South West artists Jackie Abey and Jill Smallcombe wanted a website to profile their extensive portfolio of work and provide some background information about their business. Their craft works with cob, earth plasters and other natural beautiful, sustainable materials, which have fantastic colours and textures. As they have so many striking images of this work, we decided abeysmallcombe.com should show it off as simply as possible in a large, clean and easily updateable slideshow, whilst ensuring the information is easy to find and the site simple to navigate.

Leonie Roques

Personal Training Geared towards pre & post natal women

We have constructed an information-rich website that captures Leonie’s encouraging, knowledgeable and motivated approach to personal training, and her philosophy that everyone has the capacity to lead a fit and healthy life.

Jenral

Music People

A full flash website

The Jenral Group comprises of a music management company, a music publishing company, a record label and event organisers (who organise a range of events, from music festivals to snowboarding competitions). The full screen flash website we created brings all of these areas of the business together effectively and interactively, by presenting each section as a different colour. Character animation was applied to Jenral’s ninja logo, allowing the ninja to ‘physically’ manipulate each of these sections and the transitions between them. These impressive transitions use a combination of hard-animated and maths-generated effects.
