We're going live... minus Philip Schofield and Gordon the Gopher


The time has come...we've finally launched our brand new website.

[insert clapping, cheers, woops, air punches, back slaps etc here]

Hmmm, I guess you'll know about the new site if you're reading this blog because you'll be on said website.  Ah well, we'll still shout about it.  What's more, we're extremely pleased with the new site so we want to show it off as much as we can.  Do you like it?  We hope so!



Our new homepage

If you don't remember the old website, that's fine.  We won't hold it against you.  But basically our new site is just a more modern, colourful and user friendly version.  It also contains a host of new features and allows you guys to see further into our weird and wonderful world, while obviously still reflecting our fun loving attitude to organic food, the environment and life in general.

Among the new features are cartoon interpretations of all our staff members so now you can see all our ugly mugs.  I wonder if we look how you thought we would.   Do we, do we?  There's also a moving, changeable banner in which we will endeavour to show different employees, products and retailers every month.  Plus we've added a login page specifically for What On Earth clients, which can be accessed with a special username and password.  This page allows any clients to see the company’s latest newsletters and price lists.  If you're a client of ours get in touch for details of how to gain access to this area.


Part of our new staff page

We have dedicated more pages to our wide range of organic products and have connected the site with our social media pages (and blog...obviously.)   The interactive and popular What On Earth World is still a main feature on the site, as are the quirky allotment cam, the company’s views on saving the planet and our amusing (some would say) manifesto.  Once you've read this post go and check these bits out.





If you want to hear Jeremy's thoughts on the site don't ask him because he may bore you.  Instead, just read them here:

“We’re extremely impressed with the new site and feel it reflects our personality perfectly.  It continues to show our lazy activist attitude and the company’s more playful side.  It also still encourages consumers to interact with our brand and, most of all, to enjoy it."
Could't agree more Jeremy.

“The client log in area shows our more serious side and has been designed to make dealing with us more convenient.  In such a fast moving society many people now prefer to do things online.  If customers need to know the price of something quickly they can now access it on our website.  We want to show the world that we are moving with the times.  We are active on social media and are constantly launching new products so it’s only right that our website portrays this as well.”
 
Hear hear.

Do you want to know the clever bods behind the site?  I'll tell you.  Our website was developed by Tom Sinclair of www.helloimtom.com.  Tom has previously worked on websites for the likes of The Nike Foundation, Sony PlayStation and Dr Marten’s.  The sound effects for the site were created by Soundtree Productions, noted for its work onLevisand the Guinness ‘Surfer’ TV commercial.

We love the new site but we'd love to know your thoughts too.  Please do let us know what you think of it.

Peace, love and new online pizza,

What On Earth
