Love Brownies
Love Brownies is a new luxury chocolate gift-service based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Set up by chef Chantal Teal, the new company offers beautifully packaged boxes of delicious chocolate brownies, complete with a greeting and hand written message - the perfect alternative to giving flowers.
We Make Websites were approached by design consultancy Supafrank (who created the brand, identity and packaging), to design and build an e-commerce website that would be the main sales channel for the new venture. The site allows visitors to choose a greeting, enter a personal message and select a delivery date before sending over the order to the bakery where Chantal can quickly and easily pick up the order and start baking the brownies.
- A visually appealing website to entice users to buy
- Simple order process for customers
- Full order processing via administrative backend
- Secure, on-site payment processing
"I am so pleased with it and I am so chuffed we went with [We Make Websites] as it was such the right decision."
- Chantal Teal

1000 Miles For Matt
In August 2010, nine friends from university are coming together to cycle across the UK in memory of their close friend Matt Elvidge with the aim of raising money for the Matt Elvidge Trust - A trust that focuses on increasing the awareness of depression, its signs and behaviours that may result in suicide in young people.
We Make Websites were approached to design and build a website to help raise awareness for the cause and also allow the team to track their progress in both training and throughout the cycle itself. We, of course, said yes, building the site free of charge and, in the process, creating a brand for the team.

- A Blog to record their journey.
- Profile sections which each team member can update.
- Detailed route visualisation, integrated with GPSIES.
