Highlights
A portfolio previously made in "Flash" at one of the institutes of the Hogeschool Rotterdam was the point of departure for this application. We were asked to develop a broad application for the Hogeschool Rotterdam with the most beautiful and best (graduation) projects. It also had to be very visually oriented.
To increase the search engine optimization and to allow its use on the iPhone and the iPad, a complete Jquery front end has been developed that connects to a database-driven administration environment. All told, many (technical) challenges producing an exceptional result, which in the meantime has been integrated into the website of the Hogeschool Rotterdam and its various institutes.
U-Lab also developed the name "Highlights" and the accompanying logo.

Ken Picton wins awards with his website
This website from Ken Picton has been crowned the most innovative project of 2010 at the British Hairdressing Awards.
Ken Picton Salon, located in Cardiff, has already been the recipient of the Salon of the Year Award presented by the Association for British Hairdressing and is also currently the Wales & Southwest Hairdresser of the Year. The salon has an outstanding reputation built on excellence. Ken Picton asked U-Lab to develop a totally new website in line with the total brand identity of the Ken Picton brand. U-Lab developed a website that makes use of hyper-modern technology with a high indexing level for search engines and with a special "Apple" interface feeling. Even with the use of animation effects, the website is completely compatible with iPhones and iPads, for example.
KenĘžs comment: "We were very happy when our name was called. To be recognized at an event as prestigious as the British Hairdressing Business Awards is such a fantastic honour”.
