Climatlantic is a partnership of European countries: Ireland, UK, Portugal, Spain and France, located along the Atlantic coastline and working together to reduce their collective carbon footprints. Visitors to the website’s homepage are invited to make a pledge and help save the planet. After pledging you/schools are automatically sent advice to help fulfill that pledge.

The multi-lingual website has been designed with help from Holy Spirit School in Merseyside and Connah’s Quay High school in Flintshire. The children choose the colourful funky style of the website, the cool animal characters, including their names and also helped develop the game concepts. Climatlantic’s eco-guides are called Ollie the orangutan, Ula the parrot and Roofus the polar bear and appear throughout the site and games. Thanks to the fabulous illustrator Tracy who helped bring the children’s ideas to life.

Rhyl and Prestatyn are undergoing large-scale regeneration programs in an attempt to encourage people to return to these seaside resorts and relive those childhood memories. So it was important that we balanced magical childhood nostalgia with the area’s new products in our design, copy and by using accent photography to tell a story and evoke a sense of place.

We selected a blend of rich images representing the magnificent landscape and people interacting with it. Our copywriter, photographer and designer visited Rhyl and Prestatyn and we selected and took a range of images that represented not only the different areas of Rhyl and Prestatyn, and the activities that they offer, but the diversity of the target audience as well.
