Handbags and Websites

Feel the Quality!

Look and Feel...

When you go shopping, you can pick things up, touch them, feel the quality, you know when you`ve found a really good handbag, for instance.  It feels comfortable, looks attractive, even `smells` right; the zips and catches all work smoothly; its a safe place to keep your stuff, but also a good looking bag that makes you look like a person of taste!  Now you`ve got seven seconds to make your mind up - is this the one? Or not?

The same is true of websites, in effect.  

When we make websites, we ask the client what image they want to promote and what they want their website to do.  Is it

• a fresh, attractive and clear website that combines swift ordering with a good customer service system built in? 
• a safe place to work online, and get lots of routine jobs done, working paperlessly, keeping in contact with a busy team, using the `Cloud`?
• a boutique website that has lots of beautifully displayed photos of your work in an easy to view format, like a glossy catalogue that draws the eye in, with space to wax poetical about your talents?
• or a simple handyman`s website, that clearly explains what you`re about, and where, with clear contact details, a great gallery to show your projects off, and lots of SEO for your local area, to promote your services?
• a website you`ll enjoy using, every day?

Having a good website is like getting a good handbag or even wallet or an expensive watch.  You are confident about getting it out and using it, you enjoy showing it off, and it will make you look as if you take yourself seriously, too.  Your chances of getting more work through your website, when you have done it professionally, are much greater than if you try to do it yourself.

But what about that seven seconds?

Knowing that the vast majority of websites are quickly browsed and discarded within seven seconds, before a viewer has even read the `blurb`, we know how much a professional website will make you look and feel good on many levels - but it has to have an immediate `kerb appeal`.  It has to be clear, from a glance, what you do, and it has to be interesting enough to make people click further into it.  When they search your website, do they find what they want right away?  Can they choose things to order from your pages easily?  Can they find information quickly, or do they have to search through lots of boring lists? 

With our knowledge of the market, both local and national, and some research into the competition, we can make you a website that not only looks like quality, feels like quality, and works well, to do whatever job you need it to do, but we can offer you a very attractive price, too!  We can help draw in the views, the clicks, and the contacts, using clever marketing techniques - like Search Engine Optimisation - and effective clickable buttons, menus, scrolling `sliders`, adding video, etc, all with the aim of catching your visitors` attention and drawing them in further to get in touch with you.

After 20 years in the business, our team has developed a back catalogue of professional and easy to edit websites, that work well to increase business for our clients.  How about getting in touch with us, for a free consultation where we can go into a bit more depth with you, demonstrate our fantastic websites, help you choose a price that is comfortable for your needs and budget, and give you an idea of and what it will generate for your investment.  There`s no pressure to buy on the day, but we`d like to show you just what having a professional website will mean for your business.
