Big news, its all change at toggle HQ!
After weeks of quietly beavering away behind the scenes, we have a new website, a new office and are pleased to announce a new way of working – the toggle Design Laundry Service™
Office
Weve moved the toggle-plex down-river from its original site near Staines to just south of Tower Bridge. Its a lovely old London brick warehouse, tucked away down a side lane. It even has a tiny roof terrace for the one or two days of summer we may have!
This is a quick peek of our new office – well give you the full Cooks tour later in the week.
Website
The biggest change for our new website is that we have moved to WordPress. This doesn’t mean we are abandoning Pixie, we just wanted to try something new. As soon as we have a couple of minutes, well write a separate post all about the intricacies of the new site. For now, here are some top-lines on our favorite new features…
Shop
By popular demand weve finally integrated our handmade craft skills into the business and launched a shop. Were currently selling iphone cases and gorgeous postcard packs – but keep checking back because we are planning to add lots of other toggle branded goodies in the near future.
Going mobile
We also felt it was time to build a proper mobile friendly version of our site – and so we did! Visiting from a mobile device will automatically serve you a simplified (but still beautiful) version of our website. We’ve tried and tested it and were happy, but would be very interested to hear any feedback you may have – good or bad…

When we launched toggle we wanted to set up a different sort of operation. For a while now we’ve all felt quite deeply that to keep our standards high (and our clients happy) our business practise needs be sustainable – in the way we run it as well as environmentally. So after many late nights thinking and talking it through, we’ve changed the way we work – and this new way of working is called the toggle design laundry service™.

Welcome to the neighbourhood. I’m sure you’re out on the terrace – today seems to be one of those two days of summer you mentioned!
Love the new site and look forward to getting together in person soon for a drink on Bermondsey.
Hi Matt, that sounds great. The roof terrace is quite small. I think we could just about squeeze a BBQ up there (with a few people too). Lets hope the weather stays good and we can arrange one.
I really like the new design. However, the font size and line heights are a bit compacted, making it harder to read. I’m also struggling to see what I am writing in this text area.
Hi Michael. Sorry to hear your having problems with the type. Which browser are you using?
Google Chrome. I’ve also tested in Opera (10.00) and there are several issues with this float. Though there is nothing stopping me from increasing the font-size, I’d sooner it be legible from the beginning.
