ChoiceCuts.com


Our own showcase website which we re-launched in March 2010 tied in with a special performance from Los Angeles favourite Daedelus.  We’re big fans of and regular contributors to Wordpress so we used this popular blogging platform to allow all our staff, DJs, contributors and friends to update their respective sections of the site on a daily basis.  ChoiceCuts.com conforms to modern web standards and we’re currently in the process of developing an iPhone and AndroidOS application in-house.

As the nature of our work means we collaborate with so many like-minded individuals we wanted ChoiceCuts.com to represent the free flow of information on the web but without the clutter. Our goal was to engage the user by integrating all relevant social apps and to deliver an easy means of navigating the large amount of content on our site without relying on an overwhelming navigation system or complex design.

ChoiceCuts.Com

Our methodical approach to building and designing websites pushed us to research further the merits of our previous sites and instead of rushing into building a new site we explored all the options at hand. From this evolved a more streamlined design – a means of presenting the information we felt was important to us and the user: the music!

Using Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud and Flickr to compliment our own WordPress managed website our reach is extended without adding to the existing work overheads of maintaing content flow and delivering quality content.
