we developed an interactive Flash map for The Food Network World Cup campaign. The map provided an intelligent way of exploring cuisine and recipes from around the world. The Flash talks to custom JavaScript on the page which displays helpful thumbnails and content depending where the user rolls over. All in all a very interesting project to work on in the run up to the World Cup (come on England!).

Ibiza Rocks

launched a newly designed website for Ibiza Rocks, a live music events company with funky hotels in Ibiza and Mallorca who show legendary acts from The Prodigy to Florence & The Machine.

Users can find information on both hotels (separately branded) in English and Spanish, detailed event data and intelligent social media integration with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

The Fodo Network_ site
- Development
The hugely popular US-based Food Network asked us to get involved in the build and launch of a UK equivalent. With content from the likes of Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and other cooking big-wigs, a clean, interactive and cross-browser front end was a must. We created the HTML, CSS and JavaScript from a pre-existing design supplied by the client. And we did it in a relatively short space of time working with teams in the UK and US. We quickly developed an excellent working relationship with both teams and feel blessed to be working with such a nice client

Reviews
From the get go, the team at Fabric Interface were excellent. I initially approached them via email, and the very next day I was meeting with 2 employees from the company. I had a basic understanding of what it wanted to achieve, however by the end of the meeting I had a comprehensive understanding of what I wanted and how the team at Fabric Interface would help me achieve this. After agreeing on a fee, I was in constant communication with numerous employees from different departments at Fabric Interface. The entire process from start to finish was simply excellent. Any problems/queries I had were dealt with the same day, which meant that the entire time frame from start to finish, was around six weeks. Over all I was very happy with the service from the entire team at Fabric Interface. To view the website which Fabric Interface produced for me, please visit http://www.lewisdavies.net

Fabric Interface designed our website. They took care of everything and made the whole process seem easy. They went that extra step further than the call of duty . I am so please we found them. They are great as they speak to you on your level and never once did they use any condescending sales jargon. They don
The service we received from Mike and his team was excellent. From the initial design to launch we were constantly updated on the site progress. Our ideas were interpruted well. Supernice is an E commerce business and our sales and traffic immediately increased when we launched the new site.
We are now on a monthly maintenance contract and look forward to working with Fabric on a more permenant basis.
