www.clubphysio.com is now open to the public!

Club Physio has been one of our most exciting, challenging and unique projects to date, using a finely-tuned combination of Mootools animation and PHP date scripting as well as javascript, AJAX and MySQL to create a flexible and comprehensive booking system.

This project has included everything from logo design and custom illustration to Worldpay integration and automated staff scheduling, bringing together a dynamic and intuitive user experience with a powerful back-end system.

Linux Mint is a completely free, secure and stable replacement for Microsoft Windows or Apple's OSX.

Since we like to work with free and open source software here at Tangled Frog, (for philosophical and financial reasons!) we've decided to throw a pound or so their way. We think Mint could be the operating system of the future. Fast, funky and free! Take a look at the latest screenshots at linuxmint.com

We use Linux for development, design and emergency IT stuff! It's always free to download and use, and tons of great apps available at the click of a mouse...

www.whiskyinthecity.co.uk is now open to the public!

Whisky in the City provides great value whisky walking tours for tourists and locals in Edinburgh. We were asked to incorporate their existing logo and a blue sky with stars, and have also added bespoke Facebook / Twitter buttons customised to fit the design, and an AJAX sign-up box.

This site also includes a dynamic booking area using PHP, MySQL, AJAX and javascript to create an easy-to-use schedule which keeps track of availability. Payments are taken using a Paypal button and there's a password protected admin section where tour information can be updated.

www.lauriedixonphotography.com is now open to the public!

We made this website for an Edinburgh based photographer who'd contacted a number of web designers but wasn't able to find a reasonable quote elsewhere. We've included a custom built image gallery using javascript and Mootools, and created a unique design for her template.

Bespoke scroller now live on the NTE Private Hire website!

We've used Mootools and DHTML to create this custom built scrolling links script for the resources page of the NTE Private Hire website.

We've created a logo for LKG Bookkeeping!

For this project we were asked to create a logo for the LKG Bookkeeping website, with the specification that it should be related to financials, bold and dynamic. We created a design that expresses all of these concepts, and made some adaptations to the original website in order to accommodate it.

The new Donna Cowe Photography homepage is now open to the public!

Donna Cowe is an excellent photographer working in the Edinburgh area, and wanted to update her homepage to a design which would reflect how her business has developed over recent years. We've made a custom Facebook button, but all other images on the site have been taken by Donna.

www.lkg-bookkeeping.co.uk is now open to the public!

LKG bookkeeping is a newly set up freelance bookkeeping service based in Glasgow. This site has a professional but personal approach and we've kept the design functional and straightforward to reflect this.

www.hunters-privatehire.co.uk is now open to the public!

Hunters Private Hire is a taxi hire service based in Edinburgh. This site has very little copy so we wanted to put as much emphasis as possible into a graphically enriched design, and created the banner image from scratch using Inkscape and Gimp.

Faraway Place are having a benefit concert and silent auction!

As part of their campaign to help orphaned children in the Ukraine, Faraway Place are holding a benefit concert and silent auction, and asked for a new section to be added to their site with corresponding posters in A4 and A3 format.

You can now find our custom illustrations at www.chrysalliscounselling.co.uk!

We were asked to create some graphic elements to depict situations and concepts related to counselling and phsycotherapy, and transactional analysis in particular. These come together as a collection of images for the Chrysallis Counselling and Psychotherapy website.

www.lingualista.se is now open to the public!

Lingualista is a freelance translation service for English and Spanish text to be adapted for a Swedish audience. The website is divided into three languages, each with six pages of content which can be updated or expanded from a user friendly admin section.

www.motivate-people-skills.co.uk is now open to the public!

Motivate! People Skills offers fast paced, interactive training designed to inspire creativity and teamwork in the workplace.

Our aim was to reflect this with an unusual and eyecatching design, using a large background picture supplied by the client. This is a single page site with a liquid layout acheived through a combination of CSS and javascript, while the navigation has been animated using Mootools.

www.villacampello.com is now open to the public!

This seven page website was made for a holiday villa in Spain. The design has been created largely in Inkscape, while a small amount of Mootools animation has been used to make information on the site more accessible. The site also includes a standard PHP mailform and an embedded Google map.

Custom business card design

We've designed these business cards in keeping with the NTE Private Hire website, featuring the skyline made in Inkscape, and modified photograph of Mr Enterkin's car.

www.farawayplace.org is now open to the public!

Faraway Place is a new charity in the United States dedicated to helping teenage orphans in the Ukraine, and in particular those with disabilities. They aim to build a transitional home and programme for these children and to assist them as they age out of the Ukraine's orphanages into adulthood.

They're offering you the opportunity to reach out to Ukrainian orphans by making donations on the site, or raising awareness in your church, school or community.

Please visit Faraway Place to learn more about the problems faced by teen orphans in an economy such as the Ukraine's, and what you can do to help!

www.nte-privatehire.co.uk is now open to the public!

This is a graphically enriched two page site with a PHP / javascript booking form. We created a hand-made Edinburgh skyline to achieve an atmospheric design suitable for a private hire business based here in Midlothian, as well as all the other graphics used in this site.

Now you can see a selection of images on our new art page!

These are all non-digital images created with paints, ink and pencil. Our graphic design style is now very different, but these images represent our artwork outside a marketing context.

The new Gig Shark Widget is now live on our MySpace page!

This widget can be added your myspace or homepage and is available free upon request. The widget itself is created and maintained with the use of GD Library so that it doesn't violate myspace's stringent policies, while a small amount of basic XHTML and CSS are used to optimise it's appearance on the site.

This means that myspace friendly widgets are now available for all our customers, as well as interactive widgets which can be uploaded to sites which do not prohibit the use of scripts.

The new Tangled Frog website is now live!

It's been a long time since our last redesign and our previous website was definitely falling behind the times. Our new site features lots of great new stuff all of which is available for upcoming projects, including mootools integration, AJAX implementations and graphics created in SVG. You'll find lots more information at your fingertips, and now you have the opportunity to browse our templates and buy our cost effective website packages.

Scaleable Vector Graphics can now be included in upcoming projects!

SVG can be used to create great logos and icons, and once the form of an image is declared in an SVG file it can be scaled to any size without the loss of quality that would affect bitmap based graphics. The future of web graphics will be to use SVG to directly access image files through the code of your website, introducing a new element of interactivity to the internet.

www.beautifularomas.co.uk is now open to the public!

Beautiful Aromas is a retailer of aromatherapy products in Fife. Another great project, it has many features the most notable of which are a PHP / MySQL shopping area visually enhanced with javascript and AJAX. The most challenging aspect of this project has been the various types of discounts and extra options (not all of which are live on the site at the moment) to be applied through the admin section both to individual products and across whole categories.

Tangled Frog is expanding into e-commerce!

For a limited time we are offering free oscommerce integration and customisation as part of any upcoming projects. If you're looking for an online shop of any description please get in touch and if oscommerce is used then that part of your site will be implemented free of charge. This is not an indefinite offer and will only be available to the first few clients that choose to be included.

Chrysallis Counselling and Psychotherapy is now open to the public!

This website has been made for a psychotherapist setting up her own business in Edinburgh. She asked for a colourful butterfly theme, so her logo and site have been designed with this in mind. This site also features a 'send to a friend' pop-up page, a Facebook share button and Google maps integration.

Richard Boa Photography is now open to the public!

Richard Boa is an Edinburgh photographer who needed a website to expand his market. He specified a minimalist design and chose the layout and fonts used. This site includes four gallery pages enhanced with visual effects created with javascript, as well as a static hompage and a contact page with a standard PHP mailform.

www.gordonsprivatehire.co.uk is now open to the public!

This has been a great project and we'd definitely recommend Gordon's Private Hire to anyone looking for transport in Midlothian. They are a recently formed family business with a friendly and flexible approach. Their website has been designed to convey this, along with a Scottish theme, and includes a 'refer a friend' pop-up, a PHP booking form and a PHP / MySQL hit counter.

www.siobhanwitter.com is now open to the public!

While all the photos on this site were chosen and arranged by Siobhan Witter a number of them have been retouched by Tangled Frog, including background replacement in many cases. This site features an unusual XHTML / CSS concept and an animated banner made from scratch, currently in the form of an animated gif but to be replaced with flash over the coming months.
