A More Accessible High Street

Wed, 21 October, 2009

At Creative Happy we take accessibility very serious because if your site isn't user-friendly or accessible, future and current customers or users will struggle and generally wont visit your site again. So it was nice to read that the online high streets stores where taking this on board. M&S came out top this year from a report done by Webcredible.

The Online High Street Report, from web usability consultancy Webcredible, finds the newly-launched M&S site much improved - last year it ranked ninth.

John Lewis maintained its third position while fourth and most improved was Boots.

The now online-only Woolworths brand improved its usability score from 65% to 80%.

"No less than five have scored 80% or more for website usability, which is unprecedented," said Trenton Moss, director of Webcredible.

The Redesign

Sun, 18 October, 2009

Creative Happy has come along way since the launch about 6months ago. I’ve worked with some great clients and some really talented people.

For the last 5 month I have been working within a company and have been doing all work generated by Creative Happy on my weekends and evenings whilst working fulltime. I’ve now decided to leave my full time job and focus fulltime on moving Creative Happy forward and really letting people know who and what Creative Happy is.

The Re-design

For the last 6 months Creative Happy has been my portfolio website where I could showcase my work and a place for future clients to get in touch with me. Although the current design was great at the time, the web continues to move forward and so do I. I felt it was time for a Re-design and start focusing on the future and where I wanted to take Creative Happy. The new design and site will focus more on Creative Happy as a business rather than my portfolio as it’s not just me anymore.
