Radar turns Seven
Quietly, and with little fuss, Radar Design Ltd turned seven years old on the 1st November, 2007. There's certainly been plenty of ups and downs over those years, and this year will most certainly see more changes.
Thanks to everyone who gave their support, (especially the ones who continue to) over those years. We'll keep trying to do the best job we can, and live up to the same standard we started with all those years ago.

Save the Children 'Kathy' Animation
Working for Declan Shearer Design, we have helped produce a short animation for Save the Children Northern Ireland to launch their 2020 Vision campaign to end child poverty.
The animation is based on a fictional child called 'Kathy', who uses real-life examples to cut through the dry statistics and get across the hardships of a child living in poverty in Northern Ireland today.
Produced in High Definition, and then delivered on DVD and for the web, the animation kicked off the launch event, and complimented the excellent brochure and stands which it accompanied. Clips were also shown on several local news programmes, helping to raise the profile of the campaign.

Belfast Children's Festival Website '07
We have updated the Belfast Children's Festival website for 2007. Once again we got to make it pretty thanks to some great illustrations from Stray Illustration.
The site features the same, easy-to-use event calendar as last year's site, along with all the other information about this year's tenth anniversary festival.

NIFTC Website Redesign and Movie Player
We have recently completed a redesign of the Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission website. An evolution of our previous design, the site has been 'freshened up' with a new look, including a home page which is more news oriented (and complete with RSS news feed).
We also added a Movie Player to allow the NIFTC to present trailers of the latest productions.

The Steensons Redesigned for 07
Having worked with The Steensons jewellers for several years, we were delighted to get the opportunity to re-design their site for 2007. We replaced the existed, more-Flash oriented site with an HTML-based one, to reduced load times, and make the site more store-oriented.

Belfast Exposed Website
We've worked with Belfast Exposed for quite some time now - firstly building them a new CMS to go with their existing site, and now re-designing the site. Fully content-managed, the new site has a huge amount of information about the work that Belfast Exposed do, from exhibitions to training. Part of their huge photo archive is available to view online, and they continue to add images to the site. The news and events sections of the site have the now obligatory RSS newsfeeds.
We continue to work with BX, and are currently working on a large, as yet undisclosed gallery-based project. Watch this space for more information.

Young at Art Website
Having worked with Radar on the Belfast Children's Festival website, Young at Art asked us to designed their corporate site. More professional-looking and less child-oriented than the Festival website, the YAA site is content-managed by themselves through our bespoke CMS.

Corporate Wardrobe Website
Corporate Wardrobe had an existing Flash-based website, but felt they weren't getting the visitors numbers and enquiries that they should.
Radar re-designed the site, building it in HTML to improve it's Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), and enquiries have increased significantly.

Moving on Music Website
Established in May 1995, Moving on Music has been the foremost promoter of music in Northern Ireland. They needed a site which they could easily manage themselves, which displays all the up-coming events they are promoting, complete with venue and booking information, etc.
Radar designed and produced this content-management site, which includes RSS news feeds for visitors to subscribe and get the latest event news.

Belfast Children's Festival Website '06
Organised for the past 10 years by Young at Art the Belfast Children's Festival is a nine-day extravaganza of theatre, puppetry, music, literature and visual arts for children of all ages.
Young at Art approached Radar to produce a site which supplemented their printed material and made it easy for parents to find out about events and book online. Great illustrations by Stray Illustration really bring the site to life.
