Creative Team

In 2007, Old Mutual plc's corporate website, www.oldmutual.com, needed to be re-designed to align it to new Old Mutual branding. Shapeshift were awarded the contract based on their innovative designs, attention to detail and professionalism. Since then, they have consistently produced high standard web products for Old Mutual.

We use Shapeshift for their design work, HTML and Flash products.

When given a challenging job with high demand, Shapeshift has consistently gone the extra mile to ensure that we meet our deadlines and objectives. With Old Mutual's global web team, Shapeshift have ensured that communication lines always remain open, and that feedback and progress reports are regularly provided.

Old Mutual have four core values, Pushing beyond boundaries, Accountability, Respect and Integrity. As a supplier, Shapeshift have complimented Old Mutual's values, by continually demonstrating their capabilities and commitment to values which resemble our own.

I have enjoyed working with this dynamic, young, creative team, and I look forward to our future as business partners.

Project details

Requirements

Old Mutual is a leading international long-term savings Group, listed on the FTSE 100 and operating in 38 countries.

The website had to reflect their multinational and multi-disciplinary nature, yet still focus on people and their group values.

Old Mutual also developed new branding and restructured parts of their business and these changes had to be reflected on the new website.

The nature of Old Mutual's business also required innovative ways to display and communicate industry specific information without affecting accessibility and usability.

Solution

Shapeshift Interactive developed a front end framework that would integrate contemporary web technologies and still remain in line with accessibility standards.

The diversity of Old Mutual's clients required the website to cater for dated web browsers without affecting users with newer browser negatively.

In order to communicate the wide range of content, from general information to specialised financial information to the diverse users, Shapeshift was forced to utilise multiple technologies in the development of the website.

The content management system was developed by a third party and Shapeshift had to communicate and integrate with their technologies.

Shapeshift Interactive has been involved in general maintenance and expansion on the website since the launch of the website in 2008.
