Current Projects

Scratchmedia undertakes a wide range of projects, including site design and redesigns, usability studies and expert reviews, to publishing, training and developing software.

Here are a few of the public projects we're working on now.

"Save the Pixel"

"Save the Pixel" is our first book release. It's a journey through over 20 web site redesigns, with Ben Hunt as your guide. With each chapter filled with examples, Ben spotlights the factors that will make a site look great, feel good and work well - and the factors that won't!

Fully illustrated in colour throughout, and bursting with advice and techniques, "Save the Pixel" will help you build solid set of design know-how, analytical skills, and techniques that you can apply to your own projects.

The book is currently available in e-book PDF format from www.savethepixel.org

CMS from Scratch

We're really excited to be able to release the CMS our clients use, to the public.

CMS from Scratch is a powerful, lightweight content management system designed specifically for small- to medium-scale web developers.

It has been designed specifically to be the quickest way to make flat HTML pages client-editable. We can convert a whole web site in an hour!
