Since 1999, Declan Buckley has been dedicated to designing landscapes and gardens in the UK and overseas. His practice, Buckley Design Associates, has worked on projects in urban, rural and coastal sites, from pocket–sized gardens to large-scale landscapes and public parks.

Declan asked us to look at his companies website and branding.

It was abundantly apparent that Declan gardens and landscape designs should be the main focal point of the site. However, what was also clear was that a website that was too flamboyant in its design and architecture, would actually take away the impact of the great photography that had been delivered for the site.

Simplicity and function ruled the day to deliver a site with simple clean aesthetics, and intuitive navigation to match. The emphasis, as with all websites delivered by the Raise Creative design team, is on function over form. Put simply, the website must function to meet the goals that have been set. In this case, one overriding requirement was accessibility whether the user was using a Mac, a PC or a mobile device such as Apple’s ubiquitous iPhone.

To meet the accessibility requirements, Raise Creative employed the latest in platform independent technologies. Put simply, this means that the technology works for everyone, no matter which platform or device they access the website from. Avoiding technologies such as Adobe Flash, allowed for the same, simple, functional user experience to be achieved that makes the desktop version of the website just as successful as the mobile version, without the need for multiple variations.
