Brief: Build & Maintain
This site is constantly changing in response to the music of this highly successful band, fronted by Mick Hucknall, whose career spans over more than 20 years
and 40 million album sales worldwide.
The brief for this project included a full Content Management System allowing Simply Red's staff to update News, Tour Dates, all aspects of the detailed Music Section,
comments and reviews, and a fully-featured mailing list application.
Mitsol was also tasked with writing a complicated Extranet, allowing distribution of Point of Sale information and artwork, as well as lots of other information
regarding Simply Red, and also allowing Record Companies around the world to file Marketing Plans and update the Management Team on the progress of their campaign.

Electric Minds is an exciting new record label, and basement party promoter. Working with some of the best producers from around the world, they also
release dance music on vinyl for club use, and digitally online.
They already had a good website, but it was an entirely Flash™ based site. This meant that it wasn't optimised for search engines and excluded a
proportion of all visitors, and updates were slow to effect.
A web-friendly design was created, approved and written in XHTML and CSS2. A fresh look complements the amazing graphics from the original site, and the
content is now more relevant to the record company side of the business.

Dale Contracts is a development company based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. They offer a variety of Building and Project Management services aimed
primarily at the high-end market.
With a hectic workload meaning they were too busy to concentrate on their online presence, Dales relied on Mitsol to quickly
build a site to represent them. This allowed them to approach new clients with an online portfolio of their most recent projects.
Still at an early stage, the site is envisaged to grow with the company, with new sections planned in the near future.

Stevenage Karate Club is affiliated to the Japanese Karate Association,
the leading body for Shotokan Karate in the UK.
The Club already had an online presence, but the site required a completely fresh look and the content bringing up to date.
Improvements to the old site included an updatable News section, links page and a site search feature.

This site has been created to promote and sell Mick Hucknall's wine, called Il Cantante (which means "The Singer" in Italian).
The initial batch was sold exclusively through this site, via a custom-made Auction site. The Admin system allowed the sellers to
see the bids in real-time, and at the end of the prescribed Auction period, allowed them to accept the winning bids through a secure online payment system.
Future plans for Il Cantante include selling the Wine both through this site and also through other existing retail channels.
