Huge thanks go to the wonderful marketing team at The Rep for having the right kind of vision, and for giving us enough time and support to deliver a website we’re really proud of.

And as if that’s not enough a meticulously re-designed ticket system is on its way shortly, courtesy of the technical geniuses at KB Group.

New Generation Arts

The New Generation Arts (NGA) Festival, organised by Birmingham City University, is a 16 day programme of innovative regional art shows to be held on the 5th-20th June in Birmingham. Go and check out the website we built for it.

Schedule your own Fierce Festival this year

Fed up with left-field arts organisations spending your hard-earned tax-payer’s money shipping over outrageous, avant-garde, Norwegian performance artists to take off their clothes on the streets of Birmingham?

We’re not!

But if you are, why not stop whinging and do something about it by programming your own Fierce Festival this year.

Created in collaboration with our friends at Fluid.

Walsall College Redesign

We’re delighted to launch the newly redesigned Walsall College website this valentine’s day. Head on over and show some love.

Busy, Busy, Busy, Freelancers Required

New Year, New Projects, New Deadlines.
We’re pre-empting a crunch by soliciting CVs from freelancers with the following skills:

Graphic/Web Designers

With a particular focus on designing website house-styles in Photoshop or Fireworks and Flash movie layouts. HTML skills not a must, but experience of doing lots of professional web layouts at a relatively high level is.

HTML/CSS Developers

People who can take a photoshop visual and turn it into valid HTML and CSS. You must understand accessibility, Flash Replacement, SiFR and Common JavaScript libraries, even if you’re not necessarily a programming whiz. Attention to detail is crucial, as is an ability to pull off layouts that don’t necessarily make sense.

.Net Specialists

We have lots of experience delivering stunning web applications within the LAMP environment, but we’re increasingly asked to work our magic on .Net projects. We’re looking for solid .Net programmers with staying power, who can work from our specifications and UI designs.

All freelance opportunities have the potential to turn into long-term relationships or careers if you are that way inclined.

email CVs with links to: jobs@mademedia.co.uk

But first, please remember the following golden rules:

• We want to hear from genuine freelancers only. You must know your daily rate. You must know when you are available. You must demonstrate a portfolio of high-level work (for the HTML/CSS position we’ll consider hobbyist stuff as long as you have the chops).

• Thou must not be a recruitment consultant.

• Please, please, please read what we’re looking for, and only respond if that honestly sounds like you.

We’ll try to reply to everyone properly, but we are very busy (that’s why we need freelance help). Have no fear, if your CV makes it into our inbox, it will be read and you will be considered. If you don’t hear back for a while it might mean we just ran out of time, or you might just have sent us a load of nonsense. You’ll know which one in your heart.
If you can be of any help to us we will most definitely be in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Made will be closing it's doors (and phones and email) for the festive season at 1pm on Friday 21^st December.

But no fear. We shall be returning to the Grotto, like a troop of hung-over elves, on the 27^th for business as usual.

Wanted: Flash Developer

We’re looking for a Flash Developer to join the busy production team at Made. Not the kind of Flash Developer that introduces themselves saying ‘I know the basics but I’m not a hard-core programmer’, the other kind. The kind that parses XML in their sleep, and writes game logic like it ain’t no thing. The kind that writes object-oriented action-script and puts it in separate .as files.

Maybe you’re that kind of Flash developer?

If you are, and you fancy a new challenge, please send a CV and some URLs to jobs@mademedia.co.uk with the email subject ‘Flash Developer’.

We can promise you a decent salary and a clutch of interesting, high-profile jobs to keep you busy.

We’ll consider any level of experience as long as you can demonstrate that you have the skills.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
