Client launch: Impactt Limited

Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 11th 2007

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:

The Sausage is ready

Posted by David Wiltshire on November, 11th 2007

The grill is dirty, the coal is smouldering, nearby hedge’s leaves have been burnt to a crisp and the team are still coughing clouds of smoke. We rolled this sausage old school.

Welcome to the new blog of Rolled Limited, we’re a new web design, development, strategy and marketing company based in Nottingham, England. We’ve evolved from an organisation of freelancers gathered by myself, Jamie Huskisson, and now we are a registered limited company with several full-time employees. We’ve kept the freelancer core in that we will only take on jobs that we will enjoy working on and we still love what we do for a living. We’ve also added inner-team pranks to the mix and a great set of Nottingham accountants over at Smith Emmerson to take care of financial matters when it comes to taxes and payroll.

A knowledge of too many plug-ins to count
Ability to search or even build a plug-in to suit a specific need
Ability to solve problems rather than create them

New Rolled teaser page, new direction

Posted by David Wiltshire on July, 6th 2007

Today we have a new teaser page for Rolled with some more information on our offered services upon launch, a view of our logo and something with a much needed designer touch on top of the original done by myself.

The next launch of ours will be the official blog where we can finally start talking about our clients and where staff can post up articles in their given area. We will also have special offers now and again whilst talking about our client and product launches of which we have some very special things to say. It will also give us somewhere to post up some progress on the actual site.

We are also actively seeking more PHP/mySQL developers who love what they do, and will be seeking Flash developers in the near future. Again – the blog will

Rolled looking to expand once again

Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 30th 2007

I’m gearing up the start of a recruitment drive for Rolled where there are a mass amount of opportunities for both starting and established developers. We work primarily in PHP/mySQL but are starting to see requests for ASP.NET, C++/C#, Python and Ruby on Rails. We are also in need of web designers.

The prices we charge depend on the people quoting for the particular job and we require everyone to have a instant messaging contact address for initial enquiries. Whether you charge very little or a lot – we are interested in speaking to you about opportunities Rolled can offer.

I can’t stress enough at this point that agencies should not bother applying and that we are only looking for English speaking people in the US/Canada, Great Britain, Europe or Australia.

Rolled.at isn’t a tied down contract and you are free to work

Announcing Rolled

Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 7th 2007

Today I’m pleased to announce Rolled, an organisation of quality and passionate freelancers gathered by myself. The aim of the organisation is to expand offering only my own PHP development services at JHuskisson.com and is made up entirely of freelancers who love what they do, what they produce and have a history of delivering a quality product to their client.

I maintain a very high quality bar for freelancers at Rolled in order to make sure the client receives exactly what they’ve paid for. If a client isn’t happy or a freelancer misses a deadline they simply aren’t used for any further projects. This is done to ensure quality level for future projects and to maintain client happiness in the long term.

A temporary page has been put up at Rolled.at for the moment whilst plans for branding, the web site
