6 Festive Sites That Will Jingle Your Bells

With Christmas just a sleigh ride away there’s no time like the (xmas) present to share some of our favourite festive sites for this year. Crack open the egg nog and get ready for the Mariah earworm, here are 6 Sites That Will Jingle Your Bells this 2018!

1. Christmas HQ

Christmas Headquarters contains a snow storm of Christmas related content including Christmas recipes, Christmas Carols and insights into the Tradition of Xmas and Christmas Decorations. Because Christmas HQ is all about the big man, the website includes a countdown for the moment when Santa arrives – just in case our watches stop 🙂

Developed by Wasai, the Christmas HQ website makes good use of illustrations – a trend that’s lit up web design like Rudolph’s red nose. On each menu item’s landing page is a festive-fused illustration that wraps the design up with a bow.

The site’s Design section stands out – mainly because we dig good design. In line with the generous spirit of the season, Christmas HQ offers totally free Christmas related backgrounds, borders, clip art, fonts, images amongst more.

2. Santa Tracker

An annual Christmas-centric entertainment program from Google, Santa Tracker allows users to track Santa on Christmas Eve as he travels all around the world, delivering presents to those who’ve been good. What’s more, Santa Tracker allows users to play, watch and learn through dozens of festive related activities.

Santa Tracker frequently relies on Google services including Google Mail, Google Translations and YouTube, to execute certain activities like Translations which translates Christmassy words like Santa Claus and Happy New Year into 25 different languages. A few stand outs include Code Lab which introduces people to JavaScript, the ever so addictive Wrap Battle and Santa Search.

While children are the primary audience for this Google project, only a Grinch wouldn’t be entertained. Here comes Santa Claus….

3. Christmas Experiments

Christmas Experiments is a WebGL advent calendar that features “experiments” made by 24 different digital artists. Created back in 2012, Christmas Experiments is a project that intends to deliver great Christmas-centric experiments from top digital creatives and those on the come up.

Christmas Experiments presents each digital experiment as a bauble and the scroll based animations are pretty cool. The stand out experiment is the Ultimate Christmas of Spiderman – a game where Santa has enlisted your friendly neighbourhood Spiderdude to help deliver presents to people in his neighbourhood.

4. Elf Yourself

For those of you who don’t know, Elf Yourself is a website/app that gives users the ability to create dancing elves out of themselves and loved ones by either taking or uploading a photo, using Facebook, Instagram or My Faces. As expected, Elf Yourself has added new dances and feature for 2018.

If you’re wanting to get elfed on the go, Elf Yourself can be downloaded as an Apple and Android app for free. One downfall of the app is that it only offers a few free dances and once you’ve used these, you need to pay for more.

Since its launch 12 years ago in 2006, over 1.6 billion elves have been created. With Christmas less than 20 days away, that number is only going to keep increasing.

5. Peter Alexander

With their Xmas range out, Peter Alexander has given their website a redesign. Heavily incorporating images of their Christmas range, the sleepwear site relies upon reds, greens, flashy tinsel compositions that are present in the homes of millions throughout this time of the year and Christmas focused copywrite to bring about the Christmas spirit.

Not only does the Peter Alexander website nail the Christmas theme but it also does a good job at encouraging users to buy their range for Christmas presents. Nothing like a nice looking Christmas marketing strategy!

6. Starbucks

Once again Starbucks has added a Christmas touch to their homepage for this year’s festive season. Maintaining their traditional layout, the new design uses big, bold reds and greens to help showcase their range of festive flavoured products.

Showcasing their new Christmas products such as Holiday Spice Flat White, Gingerbread Latte, Spiced Sweet Cream Cold Brew and the Christmas Iced Donuts, the visuals ooze Christmas.

Merry Christmas

The team at Start Digital would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2019!

I will definitely recommend Start Digital as a professional and reliable team for all services related to SEO. Huge thank you to Neil, Savannah and the Start Digital team. Not only have they listened to what the company needs, they managed to troubleshoot and provide cost effective solutions catering to our business needs and budget. Their ability to take on big and small projects for Saferight as a company accumulatively is outstanding. They have been flexible in their offerings when it comes to web development services and SEO solutions which has been one of the core drivers of the company's growth.

Knowledgable, inspiring and helpful. Getting my online presence created and managed by the Start Digital is the BEST decision I ever made. Edit. 16 Feb 2012. 6 months after Start Digital launched the web page they created for my business I rank #1 I'm too busy to even supervise the page. Just set and forget Start Digital have it covered. Thank you

A huge thank you to Neil and the Start Digital team! We engaged them to redesign our Move Homes website to take our brand to the next level. Not only does the website look fantastic, but throughout the website build we received frequent and transparent communication- we knew exactly what was happening and why. Start Digital listened to what we needed and would offer their advice on how to achieve our goals. Aside from their expertise, they’re also great people and really easy to deal with. We look forward to working on more projects over the coming years!

Neil Mason and the Start Digital team have done a tremendous job with the design and implementation of Interstaff’s new website. Our brief to Neil was for a clean, modern website which visually communicated our brand values, ‘sharp, dependable, expert and human’ to both business and individual clients, and importantly to offer an engaging and easy-to-navigate online experience optimised for SEO. We are delighted with the design as well as the level of consideration and attention to detail Neil and his team put into shaping the online experience of our brand. Start Digital have been very flexible and easy to collaborate with and nothing was ever too difficult. They went above and beyond – even working over the weekend to help us have our website ready to launch ahead of one of our key business seminars. We look forward to continuing to work with Neil and his team in the future and would definitely recommend their services.

The Start Digital team built us a new website and have been managing our SEO for over a year now. During that time our site has moved into the top five on page 1 of Google for keywords such as IT Company Perth and IT Support Perth which has increased our traffic considerably. We're very proud of our website and highly recommend Start Digital.

After years of tolerating our old website, we are now proud owners of a sleek, responsive and easy to use new site, thanks to Start Digital. Professional, practical, affordable and easy to work with-Neil and his stellar team delivered our site along with 22 additional sites for some of our congregations. Our organisation is complex and this project was massive. Throughout the project, Start Digital were flexible and patient with us. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls, kept us in the loop and always made time to touch base in their cool office. We can’t thank the team enough for their tremendous effort. It’s only been a month, but we have received plenty of positive feedback since launching the new site. We look forward to working with Start Digital for future digital projects and highly recommend anyone who needs a new website to give them a call.

Knowledgeable and excellent service at a great price I highly recommend Start Digital. We engaged them to redesign our website and manage our online presence. Previously we were a few pages back on a google search, however after only a few months we are in and around the top 5 on the first page. The guys at Start were great to deal with providing straight forward easy to understand information without the typical sales pitch that we have experienced many times before from other providers in the industry. We continue to receive updates on the progress of our website and their SEO service all for a very reasonable rate (ie. much cheaper than we were previously paying for a lesser service)

Neil and his team was responsible for the design and re-branding of our website, business cards and marketing material. They quickly understood our business, they identified the market we needed to target and delivered an excellent solution to match. We would highly recommend Start Digital.

Neil and the guys at Start Digital took care of some problems we had with our website performance. They were really efficient, responsive, easy to get along with and gave us some great pointers to help us with SEO. Unlike many digital marketing companies out there, Start Digital were very genuine and well-priced. Would definitely recommend their services to others.

Great design ideas and technical capability means a complete solution for small and medium sized businesses like us. Neil & Co actually take an interest in what you are trying to achieve rather than just turn and burn volume website factories out there! I recommend them.

We have had the pleasure of working with the team at Start Digital recently as we wished to update our website for our restaurant business. WOW! An amazing new, innovative, trendy and professional approach taken by these guys has resulted in a brilliant new site, clearly directing so much more traffic through our business resulting in increased brand awareness and google presence. As a relatively new business, Start Digital will definitely be going places ! We really look forward to continuing to work with them in the future and watch both our and their business grow! Thanks Neil and the team at Start Digital.
