PRP - sidetracked

Was looking for some contacts to email with my third artifact when I came across a really lovely website, the website is for a design company based in Nottingham and felt like I just had to post it up on here:

 The design of the website is really clean and tidy, it also has some nice little features such as the roll over effect on the navigation.
I think what won me over was the feeling of a friendly company which came across through the page that explained who worked for the company and roles that they take within it. They had created little characters along the bottom of the screen which resemble the person and you click on the character to see their actual image and a description of them. This little feature is a gem on the website, it made me want to go to them if I had any work that needed doing and i'm sure many people have felt the same way.

I also came across several companies which have integrated blogs, Twitter and Facebook feeds and links into their company websites, I found this really interesting because it is linked to my research question. Not only are individuals using social websites to get their online presence across, whole companies are beginning to do so also. This could be a possible follow up to my research question, how this trend has gone from individuals to a tactic used by companies.
