Yes, everybody's talking about "rhubarb"...

Some 15 years ago, was the last time, brothers Rus & Ben Sellers worked with Lucy Gemmell to develop a name and logo for her home grown catering business - "rhubarb".

Today, we are proud to launch the new "rhubarb" CMS website, which is truly a mouth watering experience wherever you explore within the site.

The business is split in to three key parts - the core business, Private Parties and Corporate Events, where "rhubarb" cater to the 'rich and famous', including the likes of Royalty, Elton John and even 007!

Then there is their growing Retail business, including their first "rhubarb" Food Bar in London Heathrow's Terminal 3 and Gallery Mess, Restaurant/Cafe/Bar, in partnership with The Saatchi Gallery at Duke of York's HQ, Chelsea.

Finally their are the "rhubarb" venues, at the races, on the river and in the country, plus over 70 accredited venues they cater at.

With it's group of companies and team of 75+ staff, a fresh approach to their online presence was a must. Starberry have designed and developed the new "rhubarb" content managed website to 'cater' for this energetic business that is growing at the rate of knots.

Whether you choose to navigate through the wealth of 'sumptuous' content or just sit back to be entertained, the edible food photography and video footage throughout, will be sure to impress. This website has been described as being more like watching TV, than anything else!

You can keep up to date with "rhubarb" by subscribing to their Latest News/Blogs via RSS and Email or you may just prefer to follow them on the social networking websites Twitter or YouTube.

The combination of innovative Web Tools utilised for this website include, a comprehensive 'Open Source' CMS, Search Engine Friendly and fully editable Flash Pockets, an integrated and seamless photo and video gallery, with an impressive 'full screen' mode, and an easy to use web based Image Management Dashboard. The blog feeds are managed by Google's Feedburner, plus there are a variety of data capture forms for capturing Enquiries, Quick Quotes, CV Submissions and more, through the password protected Back Office. Google Analytics has been installed to ensure "rhubarb" full visibilty of the activity, site wide.

Starberry have developed online tools that work in harmony together and most of all empower even the least tech savvy person with the ability to keep the site 'live' and bursting with 'rich and 'fruitful' content.

Fanela approached Starberry to develop a new online strategy for their trade garment printing and embroidery business.

With a business model that is pretty unique for the corporate clothing industry, Fanela were very keen to exploit the opportunities that the web could bring to their business.

Fanela offer their customers the ability to order printed and embroidered garments with no minimum orders. They also offer exceptionally fast production times.

Up until now, all orders were taken over the telephone and manually entered into the Fanela quoting system. Starberry were asked to develop a fresh look and feel to their web presence, including the fine tuning of their corporate identity.

For phase one, a simple online ordering form has been added to the website supported by a searchable clothing catalogue. This empowers the Fanela customers to register securely on the website and to search  for their required garments, view trade pricing and select print processes, volumes, sizes etc, without any need to speak with Fanela.

When the order requests are submitted, Fanela has all the information in their system to be able to respond almost instantly, without having to re-enter all the information manual, removing a layer of potential human error, and further increasing their incredible response times.

Along with the phase one's simple quoting system, Starberry have added lots of quality imagery, video and testimonials to demonstrate Fanela's capabilities and to show off their impressive production facility.

We are currently reviewing Fanela's backend order processing and CRM system with the aim to interface this with their customers, to create a realtime ordering system that will offer the ability to see exactly where your order is in the production line, right through to tracking it's delivery.
