Stoford Add New Dimension to Online Portfolio

Here at Barques we’ve had the pleasure of working with Stoford for some years now and so were very pleased to be asked to pitch for and subsequently win the opportunity to design and build their new website.

Stoford wanted to move the focus of their website away from news and work updates and focus upon some of the outstanding projects in which they’ve been involved over the last 12 years.

Armed with the brief to create a memorable online experience around the company portfolio, we set about building the proposed site which pivoted around an innovative, highly interactive navigation system.

The idea began as a blue spinning cube, essentially an ‘extruded’ Stoford logo, placed within a virtual online space where it can be ‘played’ with. By maintaining the spacial orientation the finished site content flows and floats within the virtual stage rather than sitting on the page like an ‘ordinary’ website.

Thanks to a clear sense of direction and, in no small part, to the organisation and enthusiasm of our friends at Stoford, this extensive new site went from conception to completion in just six weeks. We’ve built heavily on our experience and understanding of the medium with this complex project and are very pleased to be adding it to our own portfolio.
