On the 21st October 2012 EuropeAxess Media took part in the Gibraltar Government’s ‘Thinking Green Conference and Trade Show’.

The stand, exhibiting Internet Electronic Publishing featured, recently published printed paperbacks and e-books, with demonstrations available on Chiquita Neven du Mont’s biography, My Seven Lives on an iPad 2, supplied by Newton Systems Ltd as well as Diane Sloma’s ‘Financial Services Handbook’ on her own Kindle.

EuropeAxess launched a special ‘Thinking Green Author’s Package’ which includes an ebook and paperbacks to be distributed to Amazon.co.uk, and a small supply of paperbacks in Gibraltar. Using print on demand technology further copies can be ordered singly, at a very competitive cost.

If your book is ready to come out, ask Angela for full details.

He chose EuropeAxess Media to build a site which would allow him access to his pages and the ability to change text and upload new graphics whenever he needed to.

EuropeAxess chose Worpress to give Mark the power and flexibility he required, once known as ‘just a blogging tool’, with open source development going on 24/7/365, WordPress has developed into a powerful content management system using PHP and MySQL but with a super friendly control panel at the user interface.

We can put this powerful tools in your hands, and let you drive your business to success.

The single column layout made them particularly suitable for an eBook conversion. There are over 200 illustrations, tables, advertising and photographs which were also converted for reproduction on the Kindle.

International gaming company bwin had been very happy with the service they received from EuropeAxess Media when they refurbished their Europort offices and had us design and build the reception desks and light walls on two floors. So when the company merged with Party Gaming they asked EuropeAxess to implement the new ‘bwin.party digital entertainment’ branding throughout their offices. Working with the new Head Office specified RAL colours, this included a total new paint job throughout and giant word graphics just like they have in their other International Offices.

Due to the modular system we had used when installing the original light walls, we were able to re-use most of the materials thus saving resources. As with the original job, quality of the finish was paramount.

After a bit of research over the weekend, a design was drawn up on the Monday, this was approved on Tuesday on Wednesday the hats were ordered from a local embroidery firm and the logo digitised. The hats were stitched on the Thursday, delivered on the Friday, and on the Saturday the owner was so delighted he gave one to everybody who was on board that day and ordered a new batch to be made up! We have since been asked to have a ‘house pennant’ made up to fly at the bows of the yacht when the owner is on board.

This has enabled them to take bookings without going through lengthy e-mail exchanges and telephone calls to finalise the sale. Guests can now see immediately what dates are available and even book their flights before paying for their stay by credit card or via PayPal. Thanks to built-in search engine optimisation, the property now has 80% occupancy over the Christmas 2011 period and the owner has even started to take bookings for other holiday homes in the surrounding area.

The creative process begins with a need. Clients from a broad spectrum of industries come to us, from new businesses to well established empires. Some needing us to create & implement an entire brand identity that runs smoothly from the real world of local or international publishing and advertising, to the online world wide web.
We do brand redesigns, updates & expansions or just simple cases of adding a web portal to your business to boost exposure, client base and therefore success.

Whatever you need, we can help.

Website Source Code

Once we have analysed your need, we can present the range of products that will help fulfil your requirements, these products can be tailored to fit your budget and we can even integrate into the foundations of your website, the utilities that you will need when you want to take your website to the next level.

When you have chosen your package, whether it be a single page with your contact details and business services summary, a Word-press blog to keep clients or followers up to date on current events and news, a basic website with a page for each service, contact page and history or a full scale online empire with multiple sites and advanced interactive services, the first step for us is to design the site map. This is akin to an architect drawing up the blueprints for a building. The site map will be built with many aspects in mind, making sure that the user can get to the information they are looking for or the products or services that you offer, within the least amount of time and without having to click through copious amounts of links or plough through pages of unrelated data. We know that with the internet being such a fast moving medium, people will not sit for very long searching in one site when they have hundreds of others to choose from.

Generic Site Map

On the skeleton of the site map we can begin to design the look. This is usually taken from your corporate style. There are many aspects to take into account at this stage, for example, if you have a colourful logo it is often best to keep the site very clean with a limited colour pallet to make sure your logo stands out and to avoid overwhelming the viewer. The layout of the pages will be designed with the quantity of information in mind, making sure that everything that is important is right there when the page opens and scrolling is only required once the consumer is ready for detail.

Have a look through our portfolio of web sites and you will see some examples of what we can do. Things like PHP Word-press websites, web applications and API programming like webcams and Webcam status Twitter feeds. We can also create on-line booking & purchasing facilities and… well to be honest the possibilities are as endless as the web itself!

Images must be kept good enough quality to view but small enough to load quickly

When asked about the future and what we can do for you the client, our web developer gave a good example of how much is involved in keeping up with the fast changing face of web based communication and exposure. Here is what he had to say:-

“Web development typically uses data from an Enterprise database as well as server and client side scripting to build interactive web applications.

The line between a desktop application on your Mac or PC and a web application running in your browser is becoming increasingly blurred. With technologies like drag-and-drop appearing on web sites, and permanently connected applications like Skype and twitter clients on the desktop, there are fewer differences between the two.

Now Adobe Flex allows developers to write widget applications that can be torn-off the web pages and run off-line. A step further, Google is working on Chrome OS, a web browser that will run natively on Netbook PCs, meaning you won’t need Windows or a desktop cluttering up these lightweight laptops.

Cloud computing will soon be a reality for those who have constant Internet connections. The idea is that all your data (emails, instant messages, photos, voice recordings, documents, etc.) are stored somewhere in the Internet cloud, and you connect to that cloud wherever you are, to interact with and share your information.

So from putting your product catalogue on the web, to building interactive video games around your brand or leveraging social media to publish your marketing material, it’s all possible within the remit of web development.”

So, from the smallest presence to the limitless reaches of your imagination, don’t sweat the details, let Europeaxess take you there.

Choose your corporate Pantone colour

We offer an extensive range of printing services thanks to over 20 years experience of print providers, we now work with a number of trusted specialist printers both locally and internationally.

For larger quantities of premium quality printing we recommend Lithographic Printing known as ‘Litho’.  Litho is a method using a metal plate with a completely smooth surface on which oil is applied to divide the smooth surface into hydrophobic regions which accept the ink, and hydrophilic regions which reject it. The inked image is transferred from the plate to a rubber blanket and then to the paper, card or other printing surface (samples of printable surfaces can be provided on request). The word Lithography is from Greek ‘lithos’ (stone) and ‘grapho’ (to write). It was invented in 1796 originally using a limestone.

CMYK process colors spectrophotometrically monitored

If we are designing your artwork for you then you can rest assured that it will have been created within the strict guidelines required to assure that the printed product looks as much like your proof as is realistically possible. Factors such as colour can be points of contention, if your chosen colours are very specific e.g. corporate colours, then we will provide the printer with your Pantone (a standardised colour reproduction system) or CMYK colour code for them to match to. C.M.Y.& K. are the initials of the 4 colours used in Process colour print jobs, cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

RGB Screen Colour Spectrum

Watch out for RGB, it is never used in printing but be careful because it is used a lot for internet and you may find one or two of your images, if sourced elsewhere, could have been saved in RGB and will cause major problems if they end up going to print. The RGB colour model relates to red, green and blue lights which are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad range of colours to be displayed on screen.

If you are availing yourself of our print buying service and supplying us with the artwork, before it is Lithographically Printed, for example on one of the world renowned Heidelberg Printing Presses, we will submit it to a thorough pre-press procedure. This is the process whereby we check all the minutia, the fine details and hidden aspects of the artwork to iron out any problems. If work is not professionally prepared and adequately checked in this way at the pre-press stage, problems can cause hundreds, thousands or tens of thousand of pounds/euros worth of work to be ruined. Simple little mistakes like the wrong page size can cause your product to have design elements chopped off, look off-centre or end up with undesired white spaces at the edges. To make sure this doesn’t happen we will make sure your artwork is the correct size, has the appropriate cut marks, bleed and quiet zone around the edges as well as making sure all creases, folds or perforations will lie where you need them.

World renowned Heidelberg Press

With any job that has specific finishing requirements, for example a folder, we will create a mock up to make sure that the artwork will give you the correct size and shape that you require. Things such as glue tabs, peep hole’s, pockets and disk holders need to be millimetre perfect or the result could be off centre or overlapped.

The text in your artwork is composed of Fonts, they need careful selection at the design stage and just as careful handling at the pre-press stage. Where this is not done professionally, more often than not fonts are missing, clashing or corrupt even though they looked perfect on the proof! During the pre-press process, unless the artwork supplied has been ‘flattened’, all fonts will be checked and converted to outlines to make sure that there is no chance of it defaulting and causing unsightly Courier fonts to pop in uninvited!

When printing 1 poster or 10,000 business cards all these and many more factors are vital, we will help you at any stage or from start to finish to make sure your ideas evolve into the professional result that takes you head and shoulders above the rest.
