August: the month of annual leave, out-of-office replies and the occasional “what day is it?”

And yet, there was still plenty to keep us busy here at Pixelbuilders HQ.

Take a look through our August Insights for a few highlights from the month. 👀

From Rebrand to Reality

New brand? Check. New digital home? Also check.

We helped Overgate Hospice bring its new identity to life online with a microsite supporting the launch of its new £15m wing, which opened its doors back in August.

Built to help amplify the work happening at Overgate Hospice, the site brings the new brand to life online and helps more people discover the incredible work the hospice does.

A lovely project to be part of, and one we hope helps Overgate continue to thrive.

A big milestone for Umbraco.

Umbraco has officially become a certified B Corporation, recognising the work happening across the business, from governance and fair work to community, human rights and climate.

We’ve been working with Umbraco for years, so we’ve had a front-row seat to the platform, the people behind it and the community that’s grown around it.

As an Umbraco Platinum Partner, we’re proud to be part of that community and to see the team continuing to evolve, invest and do things differently.

A brilliant milestone for a brilliant partner. 👏

What do you do to celebrate 40 years of Martin Oates?

Notorious for great shirts, and a beard any indie band member would envy, there was only one thing to do…

Become Martin.

So, to surprise him for his birthday, the Pixelbuilders team dusted off the loudest shirts they could find, stuck on some questionable facial hair and committed to the look.

All jokes aside, Martin has played a huge part in shaping Pixelbuilders into the business it is today, and we couldn’t let such a milestone go by without celebrating the man behind it.

Happy Birthday, Martin! 🎉 We hope we did you proud. 😎

AI is giving us plenty to think about at the moment.

So, naturally, we’re sending Martin, our Technical Director, to the Greenhouse AI show ‘n’ tell in Leeds to see how other businesses are using AI.

These sessions have become a regular fixture in Martin’s calendar and a great opportunity to swap ideas, pick up a few useful tricks and generally get stuck into the conversation.

At Pixelbuilders, we’re exploring where AI can bring something genuinely useful to the digital projects we work on. So, we’re looking forward to seeing what’s working, what’s worth trying and what might spark inspiration.

Will Martin come back with the next big idea? We’ll let you know.

July, you had range.

From launches and new beginnings to some seriously special milestones for the people behind Pixelbuilders.

There’s been plenty to celebrate and, of course, a little bit of mischief along the way.

Here’s what July looked like at Pixelbuilders. 👀

Houston, we have a new client. 🚀

We’re really pleased to welcome Apollo Cloud to Pixelbuilders.

This one’s been a little while in the making. We’ve known the team since our days at The Tannery, and have crossed paths plenty of times over the years. Now, we get to work on something together too.

We’re already getting stuck in, with plenty in the pipeline, and we’re looking forward to sharing more of what we’re working on.

Good to have you on board!
