Client Brief

It's not often you get to coincide your interests with work, but this was one of those occasions. I was approached by Ben from Pacelab to bring together two existing websites and an abandoned third attempt by an offshore developer.

How did we help?

As we deleved under the skin of the brief it became apparent that the website that they wanted was going to quite complicated in the back end in order to deliver a fairly simple customer exprience. we used all of the existing assets as the starting point and then developed several bespoke elements in order to deliver the website that the client had been wanting for a number of years.

The website includes a multi-step questionnaire which examines the user's needs and is then integrated with the shopping cart so they can then buy the programme that is right for them. This and other elements involved a large degree of custom development.

Client Brief

We were contacted by Justin of JW Construction to help develop his new business. Justin had traded for many years as a carpenter, but wanted to relaunch his business as a construction company in Barnstaple with new branding and website design.

How did we help?

The first stage of the process was to design the new logo. We presented Justin with a range of concepts and colours and then helped him to refine the logo. One of Justin's key considerations was how the logo would work on his new van to help it stand out. We then started the development of the website, incorporating the new logo and creating copy and finding stock images where necessary.

Client Brief

Virginias Vintage Hire came to us wanting to increase their internet presence in order to grow their vintage wedding hire business. Initially they wanted us to maintian the look of their first site, but improve how it ranked on the search engines. It was built in flash and hadn’t been optimised for iPads and iPhones. The optimisation of the site was very effective and led to the business growing quickly which attached more corporate clients. This in turn led to a change of branding of the business, aiming towards more corporate, UK wide clients. We have a series of assets provided to us by Logo Design, which we used to develop a new site built in wordpress.

How did we help?

When we first worked with Ginny we initially started by building a fairly basic site with less than 10 pages. The aim was to maintain the look and feel of her original site, but to further develop the optimisation to help them grow the business. We have since built two WordPress sites for Virginias Vintage Hire which are both responsive for mobile devices. We worked alongside the graphic designer to incorporate the new logo and branding in to the sites. The main Virginia Vintage Hire site is now around 200 pages and continues grow. We provide ongoing site management and search engine optimisation and are proud to be helping the business grow.

Results

“Over 90% of our enquiries now come from people who have found us via an internet search. In addition to our increased web presence, Simon works closely with us on design and is incredibly patient with us on amendments and finer details as well as providing us with new ideas on how to promote our business via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and blog sites.” – Ginny, Virginias Vintage Hire

Client Brief

Rupert from Cadhay initially approached us to optimise his existing site. He had become extremely frustrated with his existing provided as they had recently rebuilt his site, but it had taken much longer than planned and the site had virtually disappeared from relevant searches. We did an in depth analysis of the site and highlighted quite a few problems including lack of on and off site optimisation, poor mobile responsiveness and very slow page load times.

How did we help?

We initially focussed on optimising the existing site to improve their visibility in relevant searches. At the same time we significantly increased the page load times and fixed some of the responsiveness issues. Over time it became clear that these fixes had improved things, but there was still room for improvement, so we proposed rebuilding the site. We worked alongside Mike Arscott Marketing who had been engaged to provide additional marketing services, including brochure redesign. The new site has a much more contemporary look and feel and is performing much better in relevant searches.

Client Brief

Top 2 Tow are tow bar fitting specialists based in Bideford, North Devon. They also provide mobile caravan, trailer and motorhome servicing throughout North Devon. When we started working with them they had a sufficient web presence for the tow bar fitting side of their business, but had very little reference to Caravan Servicing. Their website contained a good level of information, but was becoming a bit tired and was not fully optimised to reach all of their target markets.

How did we help?

We rationalised their online content – from improving website navigation, to rewriting the copy and making sure that it provided a comprehensive representation of their services.

Client Brief

Arabella got in touch following a refferal from another client. Like many of our recent clients her site lacked visibilty on Google and the other search engines and wasn't fully mobile responsive. She wanted to rank higher for relevant search times in order to increase the number of enquiries her website was generating.

How did we help?

There wasn't much optimisation on her current site as it was mainly pictured led. We decided it would be best to rebuild her site in Wordpress keeping the layout as close to the current site as possible, but whilst introducing further relevant copy and other assets through the site. This helped to improve the user experience and also helped to improve the optimisation of the site.
