"Some Things Just Work Better Together."

Barques Design were pleased to be charged with creating a website of epic proportions to accompany the merger of West Midlands signage giants Hollywood Signs and their sister company Monster Digital to form Hollywood Monster.

The Barques web design team originally approached Hollywood with two very different proposals, one ‘straight’ and one, let’s just say, a bit more interesting. As is not often the case, we’re pleased to say that the Hollywood Monster team chose the latter.

What Barques and Hollywood Monster have achieved is a striking online experience which, we believe, reflects the massive scale and unrivaled range of a company that will no doubt continue to dominate their market in and around the city.

While the main site is Flash based, which enabled us to really ‘go to town’ with the interactivity, we’ve also helped Hollywood Monster create a small social network of sorts by using well established web tools including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and a Blog, all of which will vastly improve their Google hits and will be easily managed in house.

In addition, the new website will automatically redirect Blackberry and iPhone users to a ‘mobile site’ which is optimised to be gentler on your phone bill and distilled to deliver important info clearly on the small screen.

You can visit the site at www.hollywoodmonster.co.uk. Hit the ‘fullscreen’ button in the bottom left of the screen for the full experience.
