Essentially this means he’ll be working with Wordpress, Expression Engine, Drupal and the like to provide solutions for our clients. He’ll also be managing official Rolled built CMS based sites, including Sausage Roll, and making sure they are consistently up to scratch and updated.
His team member page describes him as so:

He is responsible for taking your web design and applying his knowledge of each platform to build a site with all the functionality you require. He’s also the resident tea boy as required..
He fought off several impressive people to get the full-time position and will be starting full-time in January after our yearly Christmas holiday which lasts from the 22nd until the 10th of January.

Client launch: Impactt Limited
Rolled was called in by Antonio Gould to work on improving the web presence of Impactt Limited. This collaborative effort was to bring the old, out-dated Impactt website up-to-date with a new look, an online strategy and easy to use back-end.
Impactt’s new site describes what they do best:
Impactt helps companies to improve labour standards in their supply chains in a way that makes business sense.
Impactt’s passionate team strive to deliver the best, fair results for both ends of business, from production to corporate. Their work includes Strategy Development, Workplace Solutions and Training, which takes them to many parts of the world. With such a strong focus on improvement, we got to work on improving their web design.
Here’s where it all started:
And here is the work we rolled out:
A more aesthetically pleasing design, new site structure and Wordpress powered back-end. The site is easy to navigate, getting users to exactly what they need in no time. Impactt’s own printed newsletter, “The Meteor”, has been re-born as an online blog and live news feed. The blog allows Impactt to keep readers up to date with news and allows the distribution of streaming video and audio. Recent news is constantly being fed to the site, linking users to related news articles and sites.
Working with Impactt Ltd and Antonio was a pleasure. Antonio had this to say about working with Rolled on the project:
“Rolled’s work is consistently of exceptional quality, both from a design and technology point of view. They’re responsive, reliable and very easy to work with.
I can’t recommend them highly enough”And we won’t not stop there, we continue to support and maintain Impactt as required, to keep the ball rolling. On behalf of everyone here, I welcome Impactt Limited to the Rolled family.
