Webalon is a small web firm based in London staffed by creative people who live and breathe the web. If you are looking for beautiful standards-compliant Web 2.0 sites and applications, then look no further. See below for profiles of Webalon's staff.
Alex is creative director of Webalon. He loves to get his hands dirty with the latest web technologies such as Ajax, Ruby on the Rails and Google Maps API.
Tasha is Webalon's design guru. She can take an average looking design and with a few clever tweaks transform it into something very beautiful.
Steve is a poet and artist. He creates amazing illustrations for use on Webalon's clients' websites. His drawings are notable for their incredible, almost obsessive detail.
Elizabeth combines being a mother of seven (!) children with being an illustrator. She excels at creating fun cartoonish drawings that kids and adults alike love.
Webalon has created everything from basic five-page corporate websites and blogs to database-driven online magazines and user generated portals. We believe that the sites listed below epitomise the love and attention that we give all of our commissions.
All About Manchester is the only monthly print guide to Manchester. Webalon was commissioned to create a catchy and trendy online version of the magazine.
GBFinder is a map-based place finder that combines a beautiful aesthetic with an easy to use interface. It takes advantage of the Google Maps api.
Builder is a construction and architecture portal. Webalon created a database-driven content management system to allow easy updating of the site.
Radio Clubs Net provides amateur radio clubs with an easy-to-update website solution. More than 70 clubs have taken advantage of the software thus far.
Webalon does not believe in simply creating websites. We also want to help shape the future of this wonderful resource that is the web. We will therefore publish regular articles about the web and web technologies on our blog. See the latest two below.
We use CSS and X/HTML to create beautiful standards-compliant templates that can easily be updated site-wide using style sheets.
Advanced websites need advanced technology. Webalon uses Ajax to create responsive and intuitive Web 2.0 applications.
With the launch of Google Maps API, Webalon is able to offer its clients sophisticated mapping solutions customised to their needs.
Our content management systems allow clients to update their sites by filling in forms and clicking buttons.
Webalon is an expert at creating database-driven websites using the open source PHP and MySQL.
Webalon can spice up your website with special effects such as scroll-downs, movement and fade-in/fade outs using its own library of Javascript and DOM scripts.
We can even write content for your website. Webalon employs a journalist who can turn your ideas into punchy copy for your website.
