So what’s so great about our new website?

Besides the great design, and the ease of navigation……

WordPress

We all want to be able to contribute to the site so Mike has built it with that in mind. Each area that we will be accessing and adding content to, have been built using simple tick boxes and selectors to manipulate the page content and it’s this appraoch which ensures that the design always looks fantastic and works well.

Many people have the preconceived idea that WordPress is just a blog platform but, as we can demonstrate, it is far from this. In practice WordPress is a fully featured content management system with excellent blog features at it’s core. All of which makes it the perfect choice for great looking, creative websites which can be easily managed and maintained by none technical people.

Our Work

We are all able to upload our work to the website quickly and easily using the WordPress platform with a few customisations. Once uploaded we can tag them by the geographical area, the type of work, the industry sector and the customer name using simple tick boxes and selectors. This makes it easier for you to browse the work and look at only the stuff you are interested in. It also has powerful SEO benefits as is now has plenty of pages and content linked to the searches we want e.g. Branding Knutsford, Websites Cheshire!

We are so keen for you to see our diverse range of projects that we can also, at the click of a button, place relavant work links on any page so that as the site grows, it will still be easy to see just what your looking for, (and perhaps a few surprises as well!).

Testimonials

We know once you are looking at a project you will want to see what our customer had to say about that specific project. So we created a system which we can easily add a testimonial and tag it to appear with the work it is written about, as well as the relevant services pages.

Blog

This is where WordPress really comes into it’s own. We can all update the blog and our blog entries will be credited to us as individual authors. The blog is also linked in with all of our Social Media pages – all blog posts automatically posted on Google + , Facebook, Twitter etc. These two functions will allow us to grow our authority with Google as well as make it easy to let our followers know what is going on. The blog also feeds automatically into our bulk email solution allowing us to manually or automatically send out Newsletters to our customer and prospect base updating them with the very latest work and marketing ideas!

We would love you to take a look around, and let us know what you think….enjoy!
