Time for a catch up!

Delighted to say I have had a successful start to 2016. Always obvious when my own site is not updated!  Here's what I have been up to ......

I have completed various projects in our usual speedy manner, mainly focused on simply effective websites.

www.CorkSkipBags.com - a Cobh based business offering a domestic rubbish collection service, now providing a skip bag service with an ecommerce function on their new website. Fully secured, and launched  in a matter of days, the site earned the site owner immediate rewards and ranks brilliantly on google.

www.BoatsDelivered.com - a fabulously interesting business proving worldwide boat deliveries.  From logo design, to procurement of images, I was proud to launch this website for such a lovely gentleman who I hope to help in so many other aspects of his fledgling business.

www.GrestPubsInStevenage.co.uk - a new company in Hertfordshire, UK, who operate fantastic pubs focusing on traditional standards with modern comforts. I created a simple holding site for the company, with clear obvious links to the new websites of the pubs they operate.  These include:

• www.RoyalOakInStevenage.co.uk
• www.ThePearTreeInStevenage.co.uk
• www.TheWillowsInStevenage.co.uk

Pleasingly, an existing client returned to ask me to relaunch their website into a full ecommerce function.  This I completed in a couple of weeks, to include fully secure hosting, a decent payment gateway, and properly created images for their online store.  Thanks to Paul and all the lovely people at Pi Cycles. Take a look at www.picycles.ie 

Most recently we have helped bring together two separate UK photography businesses, and launched www.EmmaAndMartinPhotography.co.uk just 48 hours upon receipt of brief.  Always helps to have such stunning imagery to work with!

Offering my usual speedy attentive service to all my clients, the timescale from initial brief being received, to full launch, is completed in good time. However, please be assured I do provide a full service (unlike some of my competitors!), from URL purchase, to email set up, to sitemap planning, linking with social media, devising automated message forms, to concluding with full indexing on google when ready for launch.  I help with copy writing, sourcing imagery, and general branding elements too (tweaking logos so they look good on screen!).

All the sites I create are reactive and work seamlessly across desktop, laptop, phone and tablet.  

There are better web designers out there and some amazing graphic designers (I know most of them, and learned from a lot of them!), however I doubt there are many (if any!) who can rival my dedicated personal service and true cost effectiveness in delivering you simplicity that works!

For a no obligation chat for any marketing or promotions project you may have in mind, please feel free to call me on 00353 89 229 1575 with any questions or comments, or drop me an email to [email protected]

Thanks for your time in reading my wee blog!
