About Mên-an-tol

Automation & integration solutions for complete digital publishing workflows

We design and build utility apps, as both script containers and launchers but as AppleEvent aware ‘hubs’ for tight integration across Adobe Creative Suite, MacOS, and all Mac and PC scriptable applications. Studio workflow solutions can be integrated into existing admin and management tasks on both PC and Mac with Excel, Word and email. Such solutions can be built and tested rapidly, efficiently and VERY cost effectively. Any manual production task or workflow that is repetitive can be completely automated.

Website design and build, with custom artwork and photography

Menantol builds websites using the WordPress platform, now having 65% global market share of all websites hosted. We use WordPress for many good reasons: It is free and in the public domain, has SEO empowering ‘pretty permalinks’ and powerful blogging capability ‘out-of-the-box’ but importantly it is equally adept as a complete (database driven) Content Management System as it is a traditional blogging platform.

Mac and PC Apps and automation routines for data analysis

AppleScript, JavaScript and Python provide real world, flexible, low cost, low risk and low overhead ‘fire and forget’ solutions for Mac, PC and OS independent UI’s such as web browsers. Data analysis, cleansing, reconstruction, and web scraping are just some of the tools that can be customised to your exact business requirements.

Branding & identity, graphic design, artworking & photography

Communication of a focused and memorable ‘brand’ with recognisable USPs are a ‘must’. Promoting a professional and aesthetic image gives you ‘stand-out’ value. Menantol handles all aspects of the design, branding and digital marcoms process but at the same time offers you a direct and single point of contact with whom you can communicate your ideas and thoughts into the realisation of a creative development process.
