Pie and Bovril is the busiest independent football forum in Scotland, serving around 4 million page views every month to fans debating the latest happenings in the Scottish game.

Working closely with P&B Sports, who operate the portal, we worked through an important upgrade to their critical discussion forums which involved the development and deployment of "team themes", user customisable skins for the messageboard which apply a user defined colour scheme to all aspects of the forum.

This unique deployment involved the creation of no fewer than 58 new skins for the Invision Power Board platform, one for each of the 42 senior clubs in Scotland, and one for the last 16 teams in this seasons champions league. The result has been very well received by the 17,000 active members of the community.

We've finally managed to find some time to give our own website a lick of paint for the new year and we're very pleased with the results !

We've gone for evolution rather than revolution so our lime/black/white colour scheme remains, but we've redesigned most of the content hopefully making it easier to navigate and to digest.

We eat our own dog food here at BFD, so every technique used on this site is created using Joomla, Flash or one of our vast array of extensions, meaning the same technology could be used on YOUR new site.

Give us a call on 0845 544 0350 if we have inspired you to create a new look for your business in 2011.

Glasgow based HR consultancy provider Clearwater Brookes celebrated the new year with the launch of their new website courtesy of the Big Front Door Design Team.

The striking site builds on a strong existing brand identity and provides a flexible framework for the group to promote their business. The team will shortly launch a series of professional blogs on the platform aimed at improving their search engine ranking and site traffic.
