by admin on Jun.28, 2010, under Web design derby nottingham
RJ Design Associates offer a wide range of fully integrated web design solutions.
Whether we’re working with a brand new start-up company or a well-established multi-million pound business, we build websites with a unique look and feel that really stand out from the competition whilst being fully tailored to the client’s brand and budget.
Our recent projects have pushed the boundaries of creative design, incorporating web video, search engine optimisation, digital marketing, online brochures and e-shot campaigns.
As more and more business is conducted online, having the right search engine optimisation strategy has become increasingly important. Our search engine optimisation packages are designed to boost your website’s visibility in all major search engines.
Web video and multimedia applications are something of a speciality for us and can significantly enhance the overall impact of your website, whether you are looking for a simple yet stylish animation to give an extra depth to your web pages, or a visually impressive database-driven application to sit at the heart of your interactive content.
Digital magazines, or e-brochures, are an exciting new way to put brochures and documents online. Fully interactive, they can be used as teasers prior to running a print feature, for internal, B2B and B2C use, or to promote products and services.
Promotional e-shots are a highly cost-effective way for businesses to enhance relations with their customers and boost sales. Our e-shot campaigns include immediate trackable response reports so you can act on leads straight away.
We also offer custom-built content management systems, secure e-commerce capabilities, ultra-reliable web hosting and more.
New look for ECS

ECS (Nottingham) Ltd are global manufacturers and distributors for high quality water based and UV coatings, certificated pressroom chemicals, fountain solutions and sundry products.
When they came to RJDA a few months ago it was to sell us their products…
…they were so impressed with our set up they left the building full of design inspiration and a vision for a new brochure.
We soon had the new brochure underway and ECS were so pleased with the progress they asked us to re-design and host a website for them. We have subsequently rolled out business cards, leaflets, roller banners, pop up exhibition stands and they have an ongoing wish list for design and print!
Oh ……..and for the record we did purchase ink supplies!
Start your engines!!!

Fast, furious and adrenalin filled…
…that was the team at RJDA last week when they hit the race track for an unforgettable go kart racing experience!
Fast karts, hairpin bends and super speeds were the order of the evening as the five teams battled for pole position.
The Green Team kicked off and Digi operator Phil ‘Schumacher’ performed an excellent overtaking maneuver totally taking out Rocket Renner from the Blue Team, leaving Renner in a top class temper which brought the first crash of the night followed by the first black flag of the evening!
But it was game on and the track roared as Ross sped round in the fastest time of the day, an impressive 24.4 seconds.
Guess who won??
The Boss and his team mates Luke, John & Zac!
OUR BIRTHDAY BASH!!
by admin on Jun.14, 2010, under Latest News
RJDA never do anything by halves and on 8th June we celebrated our 10th birthday with the biggest all day party we’ve ever hosted.
Clients large and small, old and new, potential clients, local businesses, DNCC members, marketing Derby bond holders, suppliers, friends and the team at Rj joined the party to celebrate a DECADE IN DESIGN.
We kicked off bright & early at 8am by hosting a DNCC breakfast meeting. Visitors were given a tour of the print & production facilities, followed by barbequed bacon & sausage cobs out on our balcony overlooking the golf course. Luckily it’s a covered area so we were protected from the onslaught of the summer rain!
Visitors poured in all day long to join the celebrations, taste the delights from the BBQ and join in the fun, games and competitions in true party style. The skalextric racing challenge with a top gear style leader board was the most popular and a remote controlled car delivery challenge tested the driving skills of our visitors. But it was the old photographs of our team at 10 years of age that provided the best entertainment!
Our welcome plasma screen in reception showcased video footage from our recently launched Creative Sauce Competition and a team building Go Karting evening from last week with commentary by Murray Walker!
Everyone left the party with their own little black party bag filled with goodies and we were left to toast Rob and eat cake!
RJDA install UKs first HP FX600
by admin on Jun.14, 2010, under Print Derby Nottingham
A recent visit to Sign UK in Birmingham turned out to be more of a shopping spree for RJDA
and this week back at HQ we installed the UK’s first HP FX600 Latex machine which has caused quite a stir!
Walk up close, and the first thing that will strike you is the outstanding image quality and the
rich, saturated colors. The print is every bit as durable and light-fast as you get from low solvent printers.
The second thing you’ll notice is that the prints have no odor. At least nothing beyond whatever faint
smell is inherent to the media. That’s because the prints emit extremely low levels of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC’s).
This is especially important for our clients that have signage where odor might be a concern such as food stores, restaurants, medical facilities, fitness centers etc.
The third fabulous fact is that HP Latex inks are water-based. They are free of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP’s) and require no special ventilation system to deal with printing emissions.
Furthermore, no cleaning fluids are required to maintain the printer and the waste from the printer is
also considered non-hazardous, plus it has recyclable consumables and components
This printer can produce signage for a diverse range of indoor and outdoor applications on a wide selection of flexible media. And has outdoor display permanence up to 3 years unlaminated
“We always strive to stay ahead of the game and as a company we are striving to be increasingly environmentally conscious so this machine is a perfect match for us and for our customers” said Rob Walker MD at RJDA, after taking delivery of the machine from Doug Gilbertson of City & West End Solutions.
