Ardell Morton - Scottish Artist
This website is a showcase for the
evocative art of Ardell Morton. The site
provides a thumbnail image browser
with customisable display, as well as an
enlarged image viewer and magnifier.
Deceptively simple in appearance, but
powerfully coded, the Ardell Morton
website is database driven with
comprehensive content management.
The site can display an information
page with each painting, and has online
shopping and payment which can be
switched on and off as required.

The versatile Callendar Estate website
design accommodates unlimited
mutimedia pages, an image gallery,
online videos, maps, news items, an
interactive event calendar, and
specialised secure enquiry forms.
The site design is easily extensible and
has excellent visual presentation of
large images or maps.
The open structure allows potentially
unlimited expansion of all site content.

Cameron Connection
This is a website which must constantly
be updated to reflect the Cameron
Connection development as the project
evolves.
The site is interesting in that it presents
online video material and large scrolling
maps, as well as downloadable
documentation.
As the site evolves Helios fully manage
the content while the client provides
information on all aspects of a complex
farm development project

Millers Knitwear
This website uses a predominantly
graphical presentation as appropriate
to display the high quality of the
distinctive items for sale.
This type of site design can
accommodate large detailed images
whilst retaining efficient navigation and
search engine optimisation.
The site is easy to navigate and the
flexible underlying code design allows
for additional facilities when required as
the site is developed.
Essentially this form of web site design
is intended to showcase a relatively
limited number of items with strong
visual appeal.

Stage One Solutions
Using a black background to
emphasise lighting and colour effects
allows this website to generate an
appropriate ambience for the products
on sale.
The site has comprehensive product
indexing and search facilities and is
user-updateable.
Note the use of popup windows to
present products with very high quality
images.

which includes an image gallery and
interactive area map.
The Gartnafuaran Farm Holiday
Cottage is situated in beautiful
surroundings in historic Balquhidder.

Holiday Cottage website picture gallery
of local scenes.

Lochearnhead Post Office

is an example of one of a series of
standard and affordable Helios website
designs including six pages of
information, a scrolling map, and a

website with e-commerce. A content
management facility allows the client to
upload all the text content.
Click on the image above to view the site.
Properties4Spain
This is a colourful and immediate site
where the client maintains the whole of
the presented information using a
simple content management system.
The site is interesting in that it presents
all information directly on the top layer
of the site. Simple "Browse" and
"Search" facilities at the sides of the
page feed information directly into the
central panel, without ever leaving the
front page of the site.

The Betty Norton Gallery
This is an online art gallery maintained
entirely by the site owner, the artist
Betty Norton. Betty has built the entire
content of her gallery site using the
Helios content management system.
The Betty Norton Gallery has the
facility to allow viewers to make a
selection of images to review later, and
a fully functional online shop with e-
commerce and online payments.
A highly functional website, ideal for
artists wishing to sell online and
present their work to the world
attractively.

Kirkby Town Centre
This is a fairly sophisticated website we
wrote for a town centre management
group. The Kirkby site is fully equipped
with an advanced content management
system, and the whole of the site
content was installed by the client
using this system.
The site is quite "young", but has great
potential for growth. It has many useful
active features, a client-programmable
event calendar and site search facility

The Purvis Family Tree
This is a large genealogy website
written partly by Helios and modified
from "The Next Generation" genealogy
package.
This site is the only instance of Helios
using software not programmed
exclusively "in house".
Taking advantage of the complex
existing functionality of "The Next
Generation" allowed us to avoid the
time-consuming labour of writing new
code in a very specialised area.

Online Trossachs
This website is a Scottish Tourism
information resource offering a wide
range of advanced features, a powerful
versatile image gallery, a free ecard
facility, and interactive map resources.
The site has an online accommodation
and local resource directory, and can
display all directory items via direct
representation on a Google Map.
Online Trossachs welcomes voluntary
contributions of information, and will
include your business details in its
online directory free of charge.

Showstoppers
This colourful and attractive site was
largely designed in terms of its
graphics by the client.
Helios supplied the underlying code
and e-commerce facility, and
implemented the ideas of the client to
produce a successful business
website.
Simplicity, direct navigation, colourful
graphics, and unpretentious text make
this site a good model for small e-
commerce ventures.

Hans Kayser
This website has a large collection of
text articles, managed very efficiently
using a frame based site design with a
left hand expanding menu system. The
multi-level expanding menu can be
extended easily and incorporates a
sophisticated graphical presentation
with indented guides.
The Hans Kayser site is also unusual in
that it presents complex information of
a technical nature, incorporating
diagrams and equations.

Intaprint
This website is interesting in that it has
an unusual product pricing structure
associated with the shopping cart.
Most products have multiple variations
and pricing is based on quantity
packages. The shopping cart calculates
pricing and carriage from tables which
can be easily updated by the site
owner.

Earth Resonance
This website is again largely text based
and is very simple. It has a single level
of navigation through text pages, all of
which can be updated readily by the
client.
This is a good example of a simple to
manage, cost effective, and practical
solution to internet self-publishing.
The site is worth a visit just to read the
interesting and unusual content......

The Atom and the Octave
This website is dedicated to the work of
Maryel Gardyne. Her book "The Atom
and the Octave" is the culmination of
many years of research, and draws
together compelling evidence of the
universal relevance of harmonic
relationships and proportion in nature.
Maryel Gardyne's book integrates the
work of many philosophers and
scientists, ranging from Kepler and
Goethe, through Hans Kayser, to
modern quantum theory.
The Atom and the Octave website is
simple in structure and presents
unobtrusively a very important body of
knowledge.

Puff Boutique
This website demonstrates the use of
strong visual emphasis in an online
shop for just a few specialised items.
The Puff Boutique website has a
graphical layout appropriate for the
presentation of large free-form images,
as distinct from the more common
approach of presenting products within
a constrained standardised online shop
format.

Riach Contracting
The Riach Contracting website is a
non-framed open architecture site with
a full Content Management System.
The design and technical infrastructure
provide an underlying framework for
many features which are not yet
implemented, so that the website can
grow as required within the original
design.

Riach Woodburning Stoves
The Riach Woodburning Stoves
website is a modern non-framed open
architecture site.
This website provides facilities for the
use of long scrolling extensible pages

page-by-page basis.

a phased deployment plan to a meet
the needs of a growing and changing
business.

St Andrews Health Foods
This is a very simple single page
website which has the capabilitry of
being extended later into a more
informative multi-page site or even a
small online shop.
The website is designed to give a good
visual impression of the business and
to give an attractive and immediate
indication of the very wide range of
products available.
This kind of site is an ideal starting
point for small businesses moving onto
the internet for the first time.
A site of this nature can be quickly set
up (less than a week) and can be freely
extended at any time.
