Completed a new Studio's work - site dedicated to cognac Renuage.

Renuage is a totally new product by Galicia Distillery. Cognac is produced according to classical technology with the use of specialized equipment alambik. This made it is possible to create a delicious drink with an incredibly rich, fine and fresh fragrance.

Developing design of the site we tried to create a special atmosphere of comfort, tranquility and peace. And we did it. We seemed to be transferred to many centuries ago in an old castle, surrounded by vineyards. Imagine there is a warm summer evening outside, smoking cigar, flavoured cognac is kept in a cellar in barrels... Maybe it's the dream, but now we know exactly how this dream looks like. It can be seen in the style of all the elements of the site, beginning with carefully drawn icons and images, ending with fonts, which harmonize with all site's design.

To make connoisseurs of cognac Renuage know where they can buy this drink, the website provides Flash-map, which will easily help to find the corresponding store in any city of Ukraine.

The site is equipped with a standard set of modules system of administration IT-Design DBMS, which includes "Site structure management/ Menu", "Feedback", "News" and others.

Are business and honesty two incompatible concepts?

Friendship, honesty, partnership ... It seems that in modern world, and especially in business, these rules get out of use. And we as of old follow the principle "Treat others as you want them to treat you", so we hopelessly lag behind life. For more than 10 years of intense activity on the Ukrainian market, we have dealt only with honest clients and partners. Apparently, it is time to remove the rose-colored glasses: "Welcome to the real world!"

So, what set us thinking on this philosophical topic. About nine months ago, we signed an agreement on creation an interactive online Flash-map of Belaya Tserkov city. Our partner was Anton Volyanskiy, the company Puzzlee, which responsibilities included the development of map's details. Sparkle Design Studio was engaged in development of program part of the project, Flash-programming and design. When after some time the customer has been rewritten contract only with Mr. Volyanskiy, we were confused, because almost all the most difficult and responsible work on the project, did we. Nevertheless, remember the original partnership arrangements and not hesitating in the professional integrity of the company Puzzlee, we continued to work. But it turned out that here we have miscalculated.

Already for several months the site www.bc.ua is available on the Internet. The customer was satisfied, the money for work are paid. But they paid to Mr. Volyanskiy, Sparkle Design Studio for the nine months of laborious intense work of the team got only 20 per cent prepayment, and that was at the very beginning of the project. Using endless pretexts as a cover, the company Puzzlee refuses to pay us. Well, we cannot understand or forgive such an attitude. Naturally, we will seek our honestly earned money. But this is another story ...

Of course, painful to realize that our partner cheated, and illegally received money for work done by us. It's a painful to realize that having such a great experience working with people we did not see the true face of our partner. But every cloud has a silver lining, - we had a good lesson. Although I'm afraid we won't work in a similar style - our principles do not allow.

Company UDK, founded in 2007, is engaged in AAC manufacturing. Together with German specialists company has built in Dnipropetrovsk hi-tech autoclaved aerated concrete production facilities. All products of UDK are certified according to international quality standards.

Background of our cooperation with UDK is following. Quite often to us turn customers requesting to remake their web site, made by some careless and unprofessional studio. And the changes may concern site design and programming part. Of course, to correct mistakes made by others is much more difficult than to create a project from the beginning. Nevertheless, we take this work to demonstrate our professionalism and creativity again.

Our team had to work a lot. Programmers remade the site layout and attached system of administration IT-Design DBMS. Despite that originally the site was a set of static pages, now it is possible to administer content and product catalogue. Designers from their side reworked graphics elements.

Because of the work, that was done, the site turned out really high quality - elegant, classic design and powerful system of administration IT-Design DBMS the best way underline the corporate spirit and reliability of the company UDK.
