NRBet is an affiliate site that offers completely risk free bets from various online bookmakers, built with a relatively simple WordPress theme that has a few nifty additions.
We updated Mark’s logo, designed and built this theme with a dropdown jQuery menu as a slick addition to a simple layout. One feature that was required was an ability to put an expiry date on posts and there was no plugins available to do this in a satisfactory manner.
The idea was to have individual posts that would only stay present on the homepage as long as they were in date; after this date they would disappear from the homepage, but still show in the archives, and still be accessible at their original URL for SEO purposes.
We created a bespoke code for this that we will shortly be adding to our tutorial section.

Great Baby Things is a well thought out blog that attempts to add some real journalism and advice to an affiliate niche with so many automated product websites. Inspired by blogs such as Gizmodo and Uncrate, a lot of modifications have been made to increase the accessibility and functionality of this blog.
We provided a clean uncluttered design and then added features such as an “alternate view” – which allows users to choose to view the website as a grid of images, a magazine style list of posts – or as a standard blog with the full posts scrolling down the page.
Many usefull plugins have also been integrated to give users, numerous ways to access each post. and jquery has been used to create a dynamic dropdown menu. There have also been a number of modifications to simplify the use of the site for the owner.
Hopefully if time permits we’ll be introducing a series of tutorials to show how we created some of the features on this blog.

ISIOTB is a cool site which picks the best products that have appeared on TV recently and provides a guide to where you can buy them. The products listed range from Gadgets to Home Insurance and always provide an interesting read. The site had been using a free template for a while, which did not provide the functionality that our client required.
Mike from ISIOTB loved the functional and “2.0” design of UKOffer.com and so our design was created on this basis, tweaking the design to incorporate a TV based theme. First draughts went along the lines of old TV test cards, but the result was too garish so then later toned down to only a suggestion of test card colours within the navigation.

Cheap Perfume is a well performing affiliate site that was in need of a cosmetic overhaul. Our client liked the design of affiliatestuff.co.uk and had asked for a design with a similar look that would appeal to a female target audience. They offer great deals on perfume too, and the site was designed to compliment the large pictures of elegantly designed perfume bottles.

Flybe Destinations was designed for a super affiliate who is an official partner of Flybe airlines. The site was designed to keep the colour scheme and style of Flybe in mind without copying their actual design.
The blog part of the wordpress theme has taken a back seat in this design to emphasise the important part of the site, providing information about all airports and destinations used by Flybe. The design demonstrates that wordpress on its own can be used to build full websites, and not just blogs. This means the whole site is fully updatable without rebuilding html web pages.
Quite a bit bespoke code was written for this, as the theme has been designed to display different external and internal links depending on the page being viewed. A user can click on an airport, read a full page of information and be provided links to only the destinations that are available for that particular airport. It’s this kind of information packed website that will prove to be successful for affiliates as google cracks down on single landing page websites that only exist to redirect traffic.
