We not so much design websites, as engineer them to maximise opportunities
A recent commission was a very simple yet intiguingly designed ecommerce
site using cactushop shopping cart backend for Felicity Fuchs Limited Birmingham. This site offered us opportunity to use a degree of flare with design while utilising our backend ecommerce knowledge together with payment gateway integration experience. It provides the client with a robust and sophisticated shopping
cart.
This site is designed with love and care for LAMA, the Leicestershire Appeal for Music & the Arts.
The instructions included a page-turning feature to allow the reader to read through the charity's literture as if they were reading it as a book.
This site editorial style website suited the publishers of "Making It" a recent best-selling book on Women in business & entrepreneurship.
The vibrant colours and layout reflected the publishers designs used for the actual book, and the ample provision of copy excellently suited the skills and abilities of the client.
An interesting commission was this highly sophisticated design for The Wigs for Ladies website.
A new to ecommerce client we also helped through all the stages of setting up a merchant account as well as launching an SEO bolt-on package to ensure th site starts earning as soon as possible.
The original website for England's finest pub - The Wheatsheaf Inn was designed
by us in 2000. With several revamps in between.
This year saw the launch
of a completely new site CSS and XHTML compatible site, with a consequential leap of rankings. It remains the world's
number one in Google when searching for "Wheatsheaf Inn" and "England's
finest pub".
Ecommerce website cost a little more but has the obvious benefit of being
able to offer product directly for sale. The great thing about them is that every product has it's own page and every page gets ranked by Google, subject to the importance of the item you are selling. Typical ecommerce sites currently with us have in excess of 30,000 products on them.
Remember you need to have a merchant
account with someone like Worldpay or Paypal to take the money. They usually
charge about 1.5% fee, on top of your own bank's fee.
