Easylets Ltd was formally known as Slumlords Ltd and decided it was time to re-brand their company´s image to meet with today´s standards. Design Aces designed them a website that met W3C XHTML 1.1 standards. The website was built using ASP to create a content management system (CMS) so that they had total control of the content of their site, meaning any updates can happen instantly and also means any maintenance costs are eradicated.
Once the website was live, Design Aces went down to Easylets and set up the email accounts free of charge so that they were getting the most out of the website straight away.
For obvious reasons we cannot give you the log-in details to use the CMS on the real site. However, we have set up an exact duplicate on our own server which you can reach by clicking here. Use the username and password below to log into the CMS.

TaysideBar.com was designed for any chic pub, bar or restaurant that wants a web presence. Again the looks are stunning and the functionality is second-to-none.
We have tried to give the website an elegant look, using wine reds and a somber back-drop. Both the drink menu and the food menu are updatable from the ´admin panel´. You can also update the news and links from there as well. For every item on the menu, you can the name of the particular food dish or drink, along with the ingredients, accompanied by an image. Again, the ´admin panel´ is completely secure so only you, and any employees have access.
One part we are particular proud of is the small ´news´ section found at the bottom left on every page. This is for bars and pubs that have themed nights, and are fed up communicating to the public by paying for expensive radio adverts. Once people know about this ´news´ section, they will keep coming back to check what else is planned at your bar, pub or restaurant.

The original concept of Indianapolis was born in 2003 when two mates, Andy Robertson and Steven Burns shared a flat together. Not until 2006 did the band start taking steps forward. They were (and still are) picking up more and more admirers and at the end of 2006 / beginning of 2007 they decided they needed a website to help raise their profile. Design Aces provided that service for them. We made a stylistic website that conforms to W3C standards. They band were very happy with what we produced!

www.topguesthouse.co.uk (For Sale)
We designed this website for any guest house or b&b owner that wants to stay that one step ahead of their competition. What makes this different from all other guest house and b&b websites is the style, functionality and presence! The elongated style is taken from work done by artists such as Charles Rennie McIntosh during the Art Deco period.
Apart from the looks, the website of-course conforms to W3C accessibility standards. You also have the unique ability to log-in and view your hits per page so you know exactly how much traffic you are getting, add/remove/edit guest comments and update the prices it costs to stay at your guest house/b&b, meaning you all but remove any future maintenance costs.
So go and have a look because we are sure you will agree that the looks and functionality put this website one step ahead of your competition!

The used car market is a tough market to crack! With most households now having internet access, people tend to go straight to Google or Yahoo to find things; including cars! After seeing how much many car dealerships spend on advertising, we created this website for small to medium sized car dealerships who want to increase their target market locally and even nationally with a fraction of their usual budget. Again, with all websites designed by Design Aces, you are able to log-in to view your websites statistics.
From that same control panel, you can constantly update your stock. There is even the facility to add more makes and models to the database incase you happen to get in an un-common car such as a vintage car. Do you want particular cars to be displayed on the ´Special Deals´ page from time to time? www.autoscotland.com has that facility! It is so easy to use!
On the main part of the website there is a ´Simple Search´ for customers with no exact car in mind, and there is also an ´Advanced Search´ for those who have a better idea of what they want.

www.lettingsite.com (For Sale)
After the success of the Easylets Content Management System (CMS), we decided not to stop developing our CMS. We have developed it to a stage now where there are numerous extra features, the performance has increased by about 30%, security is tighter than ever, and we still have even more ideas in the pipeline!
Its for that reason we decided to create LettingSite.com. Again the whole website validates against W3C XHTML 1.1 standards. Not going for the easy option, we have spent a lot of time on the visual appearance of the site. This is always very important to Design Aces. We would never declare a website complete until we all agreed that the looks matched the functionality and vice versa. So, we wanted to tone down the colours therefore achieving metropolitan look and feel as we are aiming this website at inner-city companies; companies that have a sense of style and put a lot of effort into their branding. Its for that reason we left out any Flash banners. Some people swear by Flash, however we felt it diminished the urban look and feel. However, for those who adore Flash, we can certainly add any form of animation you want.
