One of our heroes here at LWS HQ is the author Terry Pratchett, chronicler of the Discworld. When asked why he needed six monitors at his computer workstation he replied “because they won’t let me have any more”.
So, with that in mind, may I introduce our newest member of staff, Duncan Jones, or “Duncan Three Macs” as he is known here.
When he was posed a similar question, he mumbled something about his workload and different applications on different Macs.
Duncan is an outstanding graphic designer and all round good chap and has made himself at home here.
For those of you worried that we are working him too hard, let me reassure you that he now only has the one Mac, but the nickname… well, that just may have stuck.

E-commerce websites are a particular specialty of ours at LWS Creative, and when Chichester based fine wine merchants L’Assemblage contacted us we were delighted – E-commerce AND wine? The interest in the office was unsurprisingly high!
The word L’Assemblage comes from the french art of blending several wine varieties together. L’Assemblage as a company are able to supply some of the finest wines and champagnes from around the globe at prices ranging from £5 to £10,000 per bottle. As well as being experts in the art of fine wine, they also offer cellar management, investment advice and a secure delivery service.
Guy & Nathan from L’Assemblage were looking for an e-commerce solution to take their current website to the next level – a complete overhaul of their website was in order and the results are exceptional – their new website has the following and more:
- Completely bespoke design
- Integration with SagePay online payment
- Downloadable product lists
- Email signup form
- Stock management system allowing them to control the quantities sold (crucial for them, as stock can be bought and sold frequently)
- Search for and categorise their stock via a number of means (location, producer, Vintage, stock number etc)
- ‘Offers’ engine allowing creation of custom lists for new/featured wines.
The end result is a stunning website packed with information and an easy purchase process – the perfect addition to their 15th anniversary celebrations. Check out the full website at www.lassemblage.co.uk
Ladies and Gentlemen, a toast!
“To a great website!”
Cheers!

No doubt about it, winter is drawing closer by the day and here at LWS HQ, in our beautiful, remote location in the woods outside Arundel, things are getting rather, well, chilly.
Time then to reflect on some of the sites which we’ve worked on and delivered since those far off days of summer and, as always, it is incredible to think about how diverse our customer base is.
Now, I mentioned “chilly” earlier… that brings me rather nicely to my vote for strangest client of the last few months – ghosthunters. Yep, we’ve produced a site for
Chills ghosthunters and, if you have a spare minute or two, pop over to their site and enjoy one of their brilliant videos.
