Website Development

... is the core of our business.

Our Approach

We develop websites using various methods depending upon the required size and features. We start at the basic principles of deciding what the website is for and who it is aimed at. We then determine what features is needs and how it should look and feel before making decisions about the best way to implement it, whether it be HTML, JavaScript, PHP, CMS, Word-press or some other technology.

SEO and Maintenance

Once a website is up and running we can then monitor it's performance and make essential SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) adjustments to ensure that the website performs well in terms of google ranking and also conversions - e.g. getting visitors to purchase goods.

Common Leys Farm
Oxfordshire Bed and Breakfast

This snazzy little website reflects the look and feel of this B & B / Self-Catering / Camping / Restaurant / Events Venue and working farm. It relies on great photos - a few taken by us, but most by the owners. The site was designed to be mobile friendly with the site adapting to whatever screen it is appearing on.

Common Leys previous site was well established (in that there were many links to it from other sources) but it's dull, dated and uninspiring design and poor search engine optimisation meant that the business was struggling to get guests. After we launched the new look site, it took 2 weeks before there was a single contact form enquiry. But from that point onwards they have been awash with enquiries at an average rate of between 1 or 2 a day. By the end of the first month (April 2013) Common Leys had received over £10,000 worth of contact form enquiries - and possibly many more enquiries by phone. In other words, our website paid for itself ten times over within the first month. Visit Site
