Universal Music

www.classics.umusic.com

The Bourne Ultimatum - promotional flash player. We were asked by Universal Music to create a promotional item for the forthcoming blockbuster movie The Bourne Ultimatum, highlighting the music and allowing visitors to buy the soundtrack CD. We produced a Flash-based player, allowing visitors to hear the signature track from the album, "Extreme Ways" by Moby, and view the trailer. It incorporates visual cues from the film in the subtle details and was created in a similar style to the movie website to ensure consistent branding.

WealthBriefing.com

www.wealthbriefing.com

Wealthbriefing.com is a long-established news website targeted at wealth management experts and a site redesign was long overdue. It was also made up of tables and frames, a method of web design that's now frowned on for a number of reasons, not least because it is less accessible for visitors with less than perfect eyesight or mobility. We produced a design that was fully accessible and also helped refresh the brand itself, with very positive results!

This is my personal recommendation for Black Bean Source. Until just recently, I have been working directly with Warren and his team for several years. I found them to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and creativity - without losing focus of the business goals..

Besides being a joy to work with, Warren is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. He has successfully developed several marketing plans for our company that have resulted in increased exposure and ultimately revenue.

Black Bean are an asset to our marketing efforts, I highly recommend Warren and his team

We have worked with a number of web design and development businesses over the years and very few have met our expectations.

Blackbean Source exceeded our expectations and we have contracted them twice more to produce new web-sites for us. Critically, they show an understanding of our requirements from the very early stages of a brief and this ensures that projects are executed with the minimum amount of fuss, on budget and within the deadlines set. We would recommend Blackbean Source without hesitation.
