This follows months of research, testing and development in order to provide a strong digital platform for the business to communicate its services to existing and new clients going forward. As part of this project Oi have looked extensively at Collins Stewart Wealth Management’s different competitor sects websites/digital presences, and have followed the latest industry usability standards in creating a new design layout and site structure.

Firstly, the website is much simpler and easier to navigate. We have introduced a landing page (as shown below) that clearly directs the different target audiences to areas whereby content is tailored to their specific needs. The website has a much more user-friendly horizontal navigation, with sub-navigation for each section, aligning to the latest website design trends and to provide an optimum user experience.

New lifestyle imagery has been introduced, with the blue orchid (Collins Stewart Wealth Management’s brand icon) subtly appearing in their different clients environments. This imagery is also reflected in the new literature produced by Oi. The website is now connected to Iris – Collins Stewart Wealth Management’s bespoke investment and marketing communications platform built by the agency – so latest news, literature and other investment related communication posted on to Iris will automatically feed across improving the speed and efficiency of how information is updated.

Ongoing work on functionality, applications and e-marketing of www.collinsstewartwealth.com will continue over the coming months, so make sure you have a look as it continues to grow.

(Below is the much simpler and more effective landing page, which ensures the different target audiences are served information tailored to their requirements.)

Following on from some serious Flash programming on the home page of the Cherry Godfrey website, the Oi digital team has also introduced customised animated clocks on the travel insurance section of www.cherrygodfrey.com…

The series of clocks are linked up to be in real time with various international time zones, plus the programming also allows for automatic changes with the different summer and winter times.

Well, working on this cool new website from Guernsey Post’s Philatelic Bureau was lots of fun for those involved at Oi. The e-commerce website is part of a campaign to promote its new Penny the Postie children’s book – a great present for young children…

The website has a really nice illustrated design feel, simple navigation, nicely structured e-commerce system and some other subtle touches of Flash with the occasional wink and wave from the adventurous Penny as the wind blows through her hair

The Offshore International digital team have won a pitch to develop a bespoke web programme that will enable Guernsey Post bulk mailers to connect online and generate electronic dockets…

Guernsey Post identified a need for this solution in their ongoing strategy to save costs. Oi will be creating a bespoke e-docketing postal system, which will change Guernsey Post’s current paper docket process into a streamlined electronic system allowing bulk mailing customers and Guernsey Post to accurately track and manage postal dockets through a secure login area on www.guernseypost.com. Improved efficiencies and cost savings will be achieved once the project goes live in April.

A further part of the project includes integrating a Down Stream Access system, which connects post sent from Guernsey to the UK with the Royal Mail postal network.

We’re really pleased to have won these major projects, which further demonstrate our track record of building advanced digital solutions for clients.

Liberty QROPS is an offshore pension arrangement launched recently from Cogent Limited, a new client of ours. The product enables residents and individuals who are about to leave the UK, or UK expatriates, to transfer their accrued pension benefits from their UK pension schemes and make future tax savings…

We needed to convey how the product is tailor-made for each client whilst getting across the advantages of an offshore pension scheme. I created a few branding options and a couple of website designs and was really pleased that the client chose my preferred option (in fact, everyone in the studio’s preferred option). The shell icon works well as a strong visual identifier for the brand, subtly nodding towards the tailor-made aspect of the product as well as its offshore nature
