D&M produce design winner

An Accrington design agency has seen one of its projects pick up a special industry award.

D&M Creative, based at Aero Mill in Accrington, developed the online brand for specialist property company, Luxury Spanish Villas.

It was named Best Real Estate Agency Website at the Bentley International Property Awards at a glittering ceremony, jointly sponsored by the Daily Mail, which took place at London's Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square.

"Not only was this an international honour but the website was up against those from some of the industry's leading players, so we were absolutely delighted it came out on top," says D&M's Creative Director, Damian Greenwood.

"Good online branding is dependent upon getting the right balance between functionality and eye-catching design. It is something we are constantly striving for. The site has allowed Luxury Spanish Villas to present a professional image and compete effectively with much larger players, in what is a  very competitive market.What made the brief even more interesting, was the fact that the client was based in Spain, while we are here in Accrington! It underlines just what can be achieved using today's technology."

D&M was established four years ago and originally traded as Brainstorm Ideas, before the company underwent their own rebrand earlier last year.

Luxury Spanish Villas is an estate agency, based on Spain's Northern Costa Blanca. D&M have been involved with the company for more than two years, helping develop and market the brand in the UK and online.
