Green Pages approached The Forge Web Creations with the idea of creating a comprehensive green directory. The task would involve designing a website that was clean, fresh and targeted to the green industry as well as develop it in such a manner that the Green Pages team would have full control over all the listings in the directory. Using WordPress as a base, The Forge Web Creations met the requirements, to which the client was very satisfied.

“Wow! We finally put the site live this morning… We’re not doing a big launch, but will focus on getting it ‘out there’ in Jan.

It’s been quite a journey and learning curve for us, but I wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to you, Andre, and everyone who was involved – we really have a site we’re proud of and that I feel is going to work well for us.

You’ve been incredibly helpful and very patient, thank you so much! Really, The Forge has been great to work with and I look forward to the next project (don’t hide, next time will be way more streamlined!)

We’re so stoked that the site is sorted!”

Rocket Films Africa required a visually impressive minimalist site in which full screen background images changed contextually. Over and above this, we made sure that the background images scale to the size of the browser, and that the user is also able to quick cycle through these images by clicking on the background.

The client’s previous site was difficult, time-consuming and expensive for them to update. We have now built them a fully customized site based on WordPress where they can effortlessly manage themselves.

Some of the features of the new site are:

  • Easily add background images to specific pages and choose the order in which they are shown
  • Allow the client to easily and intuitively add, edit and sort their work portfolio, locations, talent, and team members. We achieved this by creating custom post types and sections in the admin panel for all of these types of content.
  • A fully fledged blog

We are very happy with the beautifully designed site created for us by The Forge. They have more than met our expectations on the functionality, were quick to offer solutions or alternatives and have provided us with a site we can manage ourselves.” ~ Christene (Project Coordinator) Rocket Films Africa.

We often mingle with the world, but our discovery is hidden away, as it can be in a small compass, and no one suspects who or what we are. We pass as tourists among out fellow men.
