We love the new site we created for Neil Delamere. We got a chance to pull out the trusty pencil and paper, to combine some line drawings with images of the man himself. Using frame by frame animation in Flash, we created the fun intro animation. Then we got all technical, and integrated Wordpress technology into the back-and of the site, allowing Neil and his team quick and easy access to the content of the site. We made it super easy for them to edit/upload new content, add videos, images, and gig listings. Exactly what he needed! And in time for his new show on RTE, Republic of Telly!

Although not something that you ever want your viewers to see, at times error pages can be unavoidable… which is why we like to create custom Error 404 pages for our clients. Have a look at one we wanted to use for Neil’s site. In the end we didn’t go for it, but it still gives us a giggle here at Smudge!

Funny right?? Here’s the one we used in the end:

Really nice site guys, well done! Stylish and fun, yet clean and simple.

I did try, seen as you mentioned it, to get a 404 page though - but all I got was a page with no content (no 404 message or image).
