Caffeinehit’s latest client project is launched today (Tuesday 9th June 2009). The new website design and UI design for G3 Global.
Having sat in the duldrums for some time and been the victim of stinted additions to the site over a long period of time the G3 site design had been left disjointed, clumsy looking and overloaded with text. Working with the G3 team we stripped down the content and created a more unified site with slick UI and obvious service / product highlights.
The site now has a much simpler site structure and the introduction of photographic and visual elements gives the site a fresher and cleaner and feel.
We’re looking forward to hearing what sort of feedback comes through.
Take a look at the live site at http://g3it.com and some screengrabs here.
We’re on the lookout for a seriously talented web designer. Not only are we moving to a funkier part of town (Shoreditch) we’ve got room for some more people to join our small (but perfectly formed) team.
At the moment we’re so snowed under with work we’re going to start with our first full time hire: a middleweight web designer.
If you an awesome designer (web, graphic, UI), write beautiful code (html/css), have a penchant for coffee and music and posess social skills (in no particular order) then we’re looking for you. You should feel totally at home working on anything from a new exciting startup all the way through to big brands like MTV, Nokia and Channel 4. Great time management skills and superior self-motivation are a definite plus.
So, think you fit the bill? Drop us an email with an intro and portfolio links to jobs@caffeinehit.com or apply online.
It’s a full time position and potential wages are based on experience (and how good you are).
Yep, and not a moment too soon! After nearly 2 years in our current offices we’re spreading our wings and moving to a nice new office on Rivington Street in Shoreditch. It gives us a bit more space and should allow us to expand over the next year or so.
Our new address is:
Caffeinehit Ltd
Arch 462 Kingsland Viaduct
83 Rivington Street
London
EC2A 3AY
If you’re anywhere nearby pop in for a coffee!
The new, shiney Trusted Places went live today and we’re proud to say that Caffeinehit played a big part in the new site design and fresh UI design.
Following on from the relaunch of Qype last week I think TrustedPlaces has the upper hand, visually (obviously). Still a long way to go but with the site bringing in close to 1,000,000 uniques a month it’s just going from strength to strength.
As with all social networks it’s going to be interesting to see the reaction of the community that use it. When the latest version of Facebook was released the general feeling was that it wasn’t any better, maybe more confusing if anything else. Fingers crossed the reaction will be different in this case, with a much cleaner product it should make finding and understanding content a lot easier.
Either way, well done guys. The site’s looking great and I know that it’s just going to get better based on the plans you’ve got and the super team you’ve got working on the product.
Check out the new look TrustedPlaces here.
Well, I felt it was about time that we refreshed the company logo a little bit, so, here it is! It ties in quite nicely with the caffeinehit labs logo we currently have.
The strapline is one of those things you come up with down the pub, unfortunately it was just me, stone-coled sober in the office. Now I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. Either way, it made me chuckle for at least 10 seconds.
We’re pleased to see the new Caffeinehit branding design for SXSW up on their site. Really looking forward to see how the logo goes down during the festival.
See it in all it’s glory here.
LONDON, 9 February 2009 - Caffeinehit Ltd are proud to announce the launch of new Caffeinehit Labs product Gighit.com, a site offering wiki style content, powerful features and access to a passionate community of fellow music lovers to UK gig goers. The work of designer-turned-entrepreneur Andy Ashburner and stunt coder Alen Mujezinovic, Gighit focuses on enhancing the live music experience, acting as the helpful, knowledgeable friend users will wish they’d always had: recommending bands, reminding them of upcoming gigs and even working hard to find them the cheapest ticket price.
Gighit.com originally launched in 2000, acting as a forerunner to successful sites like iLike and Last FM and existing in various forms until an identity crisis put the project on hiatus in 2006. In 2009 the new Gighit.com is a team player - offering full integration with its successful peers and bringing its own expertise to the party too.
“Gighit makes use of popular social networks like Facebook, Last FM, iLike and Twitter to help users filter their content”, said Andy Ashburner. “By registering with Gighit you can import a vast amount of information you already have on other sites to help you personalise your experience very quickly - add geo-location and matching stuff with your friends and you have a perfect mashup of content.” Looking ahead, Ashburner and Mujezinovic are already building on the existing features with plans to “refine this uber-personalisation with the release of the ‘mojo filter’”.
Gighit.com launches at 4pm GMT on 9th February 2009 - http://www.gighit.com.
We’ve been working super hard on a stack of projects the last month or so. The most recent one being the logo design for the SXSW (2009) Web Awards in Austin.
Anyway, we’re really pleased with the logo, it has a lot of potential to be used online/offline/video/print, it’s going to look super.
The main concept behind the logo was pixels. As well as standing well as a logo and having the ability to scale because it’s modular structure it can be chopped, changed and moved around to work on various media.
Check out the logos in all their glory here.

In the meantime Happy Christmas from Caffeinehit and see you the other side in 2009!
Well, it’s not very often I get as excited about something as I am with the new Gighit. It’s been a long time in the making, most of the time just bubbling away at the back of my head. NOW those thoughts are becoming a reality.
Alen and I have been working tirelessly for the last 2 months on the new Gighit. Designing, coding and now plugging in all of the bells and whistles that are going to make this website (hopefully) rock your social worlds.
I’m not going to reveal anything yet other than the logo (above), even though it’s been bouncing around for a few months on the web THIS is it’s official ‘launch’.
Other than that I can reveal the new beast is being coded in Python/Django and will be hitting your monitors in December 2008. When it’s live we will let you know here first!
