Recently completed, the development of the eagerley anticipated second phase to the Desperados Beer website. Desperados Beer is a French brand beer with a Mexican bite and is part of Heineken International (Europe) group.

The Die-Hards section of the site was developed to build upon the main site which was officially launched in January 2009 to further promote the Desperados brand and to drive brand awareness in the UK. The Die-Hards is an interactive social networking platform allowing fans of the beer to register and share videos and pictures of their favourite or most interesting Desperados moments.

The website offers regular competitions updated frequently featuring a range of prices from cases of Desperados Beer to weekend getaways to exciting destinations for you and your mates. The site also offers a custom Desperados frame generator (allowing users to frame their beloved pics with a range of Desperados frames to share on social networking sites such as Facebook), a range of wallpapers to trully give your computer that Desperados Beer flavour, oath facility allowing you to swear your allegiance to the Desperados brand by video or image upload and a cool desktop widget allowing you to set an alarm for that special moment you’ve set aside to get better aquainted with your ice cold pint of Desperados Beer.

It’s 5:22am and am wondering what I’m still doing up and why I can’t get a wink of sleep.

Seeing as I’ve got a new app on my iPhone which connects onto my work blog, I thought I’ld give it a whirl and submit my post while in bed.

Determined to set strides and show the competition how it’s really done, the creative digital agency I work for {Evolutions} has evolved and has gone mobile with the launch of the mobile site and the iPhone specific website with all the bells and whistles courtesy of their newly found investment (me of course!).

Embracing the iPhone with the launch of the Apple iPhone 3g, and on a secret bid to weed the office of Sony Ericsons and Blackberry’s {you know yourSalvs}, I was set a task of developing a super lite pocket friendly iPhone specific website which would deliver a few selected video portfolio pieces to be shown to prospective clients and friends browsing the site on the Apple iPhone.

Working closely with our Creative Director {www.creatific.com – who I may add is absolutely anal about pixel perfection.} I developed the Evolutions iPhone web site featuring the very best in video entertainment, google maps with directions/gps navigation(iPhone 3g), sliding menus, pixel perfect resolutions optimized for the iPhone and a hint of ooooh! lahh! lahhhhh!.

Sounds good doesn’t it? Well, it sure is. See it for yourself by visiting the evolutions {www.evolutions.co.uk} home page on your iPhone and let me know what you think.

Well, I’ll be off to bed now, night night, rather, morning morning.

Blogging from my iPhone.
