Website Designer Sells Lingerie Designer

Website Design Cheltenham has been asked to Sell the Lingerie Designer

Website Designer Cheltenham has been asked to Sell the Lingerie Designer
The new Designer Lingerie Sales consortium has asked the Website Design Cheltenham to build, promote and generate sells of upmarket lingerie.

Having already improved, optimised and increased sales for Sandra Dee’s online lingerie site, it was a logical extension of the existing process to extend the brand to an eponymous high traffic site.

Accordingly having already researched, registered and set up a high traffic keyword phrase domain to maximise the potential for sales not just here in the UK but globally- as the demand for ladies’ apparel is also global.

To that end we set up a Secure Socket Layer on our webserver and optimised the keyword phrases to maximise potential. We then automated the product download and input process to make the whole process as efficient as possible-  we are old and experienced enough to remember the “dotcom” bubble when the financial city woke up to the potential for websites to automate manual processes.

Since then of course there are a number of new processes that an online retailer can do to maximize the sales funnel by focusing on the customer and her requirements and needs. And with 20 years expertise we can certainly do that.

If you want your business to make you more leads and sales by improving your online business and online digital marketing and sales conversions, please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!contact website design cheltenham

Website Design Cheltenham has been asked by the international, award winning singer and actress Emily Bradbury to secure and search engine optimise her site.

Having set up and built her eponymous site a couple of years ago, she has hitherto failed to get her site ranking on the first page of Google and also needs a bit of TLC to make the site more user friendly.

So we offered to do the search engine optimisation (SEO)  to help her in her endeavours. Having nearly 20 years of expertise in doing the same for others’ sites we feel that the process is not a “black hat” process but is a scientific, repeatable processes to achieve these goals.

Born in Hong Kong, Emily Bradbury is a Toronto-based performing artist currently residing in Egham, England as she completes her degree in Drama and Dance from Royal Holloway, University of London.

When starting at Royal Holloway in September 2016, Emily threw herself into auditioning for the Musical Theatre Society and got cast in their Autumn production of Bring It On. In the spring of 2017, the opportunity to shadow the producer of the Musical Theatre Society’s production of Spring Awakening gave her some new skills to add to her tool belt.

After a phenomenal year with the Musical Theatre Society, Emily was elected to be the Publicity Officer for the upcoming year 2017-18. This role includes coordinating all forms of social media and being the creative eye for the vision of the group.

Most recently, Emily was cast as the role of Crystal in Little Shop of Horrors with Ethereal Theatre Company where the show will be performed at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2017.

Shoppers in the UK spend more online per person than those from any other country in the world.Analysis from Internet World Germany found that British shoppers spend an average of £1,050 a year, followed by the US, with £1,001. German shoppers came in third place, each spending an average of £915 via the internet each year.

Within Germany, found the analysis, the top 10 online retailers generate more than a third of total ecommerce sales. Amazon Amazon is the most popular online shop, with sales put at more than £4.9 billion, while fashion retailers Otto and Zalando recorded sales of almost £1.5 billion and £659 million respectively. Online accounts for 15.3% of total retail sales, excluding food.

“The average ecommerce spend per head spend in Germany is not far off UK and US levels,” said Saskia Müller, head of Internet World Germany. “With domestic and international online brands continuing to understand what’s important to German consumers and adding value to their services, there’s a lot of room for growth in an already mature market.”

However in the UK mobile’s share of visits to UK retail sites has increased to 64%.

Smartphone shopping is now the default for  U.K. shoppers with 64% of all website visits to retailers last year coming from mobile devices, according to digital market intelligence company, SimilarWeb.

The study revealed that on average 64.54% of visits to all online retail sites in the U.K last year were via mobile phones, compared to 35.46% for desktop. This reflected a further 2.63% increase for mobile’s market share in the online U.K retail market last year.

On average, across 2015, all of the most popular 10 UK retail sites, including Amazon, eBay and Argos, registered a bigger share of visits from mobile, compared to desktop visits (see below).

The shift to mobile also represented a retail challenge — while on average U.K desktop visitors browsed 12.4 pages per session in 2015, this dropped to 7.3 pages when sites were visited via smartphones.

Similarly, on desktop, UK shoppers spent  7.21 minutes on an average retail site viewed from desktop last year, dropping  to an average of 5 minutes and 5 seconds on a mobile device.

Website Design in Cheltenham has added Stroud Valleys Credit Union to our roster of clients.

Website Design in Cheltenham has added Stroud Valleys Credit Union to our roster of clientsStroud Valleys Credit Union has had a website for a number of years, but is was not responsive ie will not work across various screens ie computers, notepads and smart phones- and was very difficult for the Credit Union to update.

So they asked us to see if we could help them- which was naturally a pleasure.

We drew up a rough list of requirements which helped the Union draw up a comprehensive content brief.

This means that the site is now fully complaint with Google’s Mobile Compatibility tool- as well as being easily able to be updated with their latest news and content changes as required by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)- who regulate them.

After the Credit Union’s management reviewed our redesign results we then provided access and training to key staff members so that they can progress the site on their own- without the need for costly and slow third parties to effect the updates- as well as keeping on the right side of the regulatory authorities.

Website Design Cheltenham completely rebuilds Andy Turvey site

Website Design in Cheltenham has completely rebuilt the voiceover artist Andy Turvey’s site for him.

Website Design in Cheltenham has completely rebuilt the voiceover artist Andy Turvey's site for him

As a long term client of Website Design in Cheltenham the voice over artist Andy Turvey is given regular monthly reports on where his site is ranking on Google for various agreed keyword phrases. As do all of our clients as a courtesy service.

Around Easter time- after Google’s new algorithm process review which now promotes responsive ie will work on tablets, smart phones. computers and pods we advised Andy that his site was slipping down the first page of Google.

Accordingly we drew up a list of requirements for him for his new site and Andy helpfully provided some new content for the revamped site.

We started off by rebranding his site from a colourful site to a cleaner, sharper black, white and grey scheme.

Which meant that we had to create a new logo for him. As the site is eponymous it made sense to feature Andy in the logo. So we devised and created a new cartoon logo for him.

Building on this we then transferred his site- which was a series of standalone pages into a WordPress format- which allows us not only to be responsive, but also search engine optimised with the added set of options to add extra facilities and features.

One of the advantages of WordPress is that if it is used properly it can “grow” the number of pages which can get ranked in Google. So for example Andy’s site had 25 pages. The site now has more than twice that number now cached in Google.

And the client’s view of his new site? ” The website is now PERFECT! Just what I wanted! My life is now complete!”

So, if you want a great ranking website which works on all screens- computers, macs, notepads, smart phones and ipods- please contact us now or ring us on 01242 521967 now to see how we can help you to make money as well!
