Times Online aims to attract new subscribers to their enhanced Crossword Club, redeveloped by Taglab
London – 01 May 2009
Times Online, the website of The Times and The Sunday Times, is a renowned provider of crosswords. Times Online launches their Crossword Club with a new look and new functionality. The new look and feel of the club ties into the new Times Online identity, which launched with enormous success 18 months ago.
The redeveloped Crossword Club boasts an enhanced subscriber interface with a new AJAX crossword application, which eliminates the need for the Applet plug-in. Taglab developed a bespoke admin interface in Java using Spring and Hibernate to streamline the process in which Times administrators publish crosswords. The web application also provides exclusive archive content to the club’s subscribers; automating integration with third parties as well as integrating with the Times Online single sign-on solution.
Taglab’s managing director, Graham Bower, comments, “"as one of the world's most famous and popular crosswords, the Times Online Crossword Club has a large, loyal and passionate user base. We're thrilled to have this opportunity to take their online experience to the next level."

Yell streamlines process of ordering Yellow Pages directories with new online service built by Taglab
Reading – 28 February 2008 – Yell, the leading international directories business, has appointed full service design and build agency Taglab to develop an online directory ordering service, which launches this month. The service enables UK residents to order up to five copies of their local Yellow Pages directory, free of charge. After a successful soft-launch in January, Yell are now gearing up for a full-scale rollout, with the web address appearing in millions of directories, nationwide.
With an integrated postcode search and online maps, the directory ordering service makes it easer than ever to order a directory, providing a convenient alternative to ordering by phone. Yell’s Louise Chapman explains “whilst our online Yell.com service continues to gain in popularity, the classic printed Yellow Pages remains very popular. This service makes it easier than ever for web users to order the book.”
Yell have big plans for the new service, including e-commerce functionality to enable users to purchase directories from other areas, and even offering an international directory ordering service.
