Live Entertainment Acts for Christmas

Posted on December 8, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

Live Entertainment Acts for Christmas by Livestock Productions.

With the Winter season well and truly upon us one of Website Design Cheltenham‘s clients Livestock Productions have revamped their online roster of live entertainment acts to reflect the changing seasons.

As such Livestock needed to update their online marketing strategy and tactics.

Accordingly, we reviewed their current approach and benchmarked it against several optimal approaches by their competitors and other “best in class” ecommerce organisations. Which we then used to create a set of low cost but achievable recommendations to better generate traffic, leads and sales.

After all- despite all of the technological hype a website is just about business – and making you money.

A reminder that focussing on the basics never goes amiss.

We then updated the search engine optimisation of their main acts pages and news blog posts. Next we revised their Call To Actions – making it easier once people find the acts that they are interested in to contact Livestock.

Thus the whole approach was about widening the Sales Funnel to not only gain extra traffic, but to convert that traffic into leads.

We also made a few suggestions as to how to improve their handling of those leads to better improve their administration and streamline those quotes, thus speeding up the process which again will improve the chances of gaining extra sales- and profits.

So, if you want your organisation’s website to make you more traffic, leads and sales by improving your online digital marketing, please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!

SME Cyber Prevention Glos Client Tops Google Rankings

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

Our SME Cyber Prevention Client in Gloucestershire Cyber139 is topping Google’s search results rankings.

Not only does Website Design Cheltenham’s client Cyber139 top Google search results rankings – they also appear at number 2, number 3, number 4 and number 5- which is nearly as good as the Beatles’ invasion and domination of the US singles record charts in 1964.

Oh and their neighbour in Cheltenham GCHQ? Well they have a solitary ranking at the foot of Google’s first page at number 10.

So when you hear defeatists claim that all of the search engine rankings are dominated by the “big boys” and multinationals you now know otherwise.

Is our search engine ranking success “black hat stuffing”? Absolutely not!

We have been search engine optimising websites for nearly 20 years. It is a science, not an art as it is an explainable, repeatable process. Which if followed precisely could be done for you and your organisation as well.

However we say “could” rather than “will” deliberately – as there are no guarantees other than we will try our best for you. Equally these rankings don’t happen overnight. They can take weeks and months to achieve. Sometimes they happen sooner than later, but we never promise instant success. Patience is a necessity, not a virtue.

So, if you want your business’s search engine optimisation and Google digital marketing capabilities to take off into the millions please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!

There’s a growing hysteria about Black Friday and Cyber Monday next week, but here is no doubt that there is a lot of traffic and sales being generated today.

But to succeed on Black Friday and Cyber Monday requires careful planning.

One has to get the search engine optimization right. And gets newsletters, emails and texts out to customers and potential customers. And make sure that the site loads quickly and easy to navigate when they do arrives. As well as provide great value products backed up by sales staff to answer any queries that people may have.

Recent research has found that 78% of shoppers say the right price “always” drives them to buy, while 71% say free shipping, and 60% say valuable promotions. “Always” factors on logistics include being in stock and ready to ship (73%) and fast delivery (66%).

Other key findings included the statistic that 59% of millenials had bought as a result of past social engagement (50% of all consumers), and that 55% of millennials would be prompted to visit a website as a result of social media (45% all consumers).

Meanwhile, four in 10 would buy from a retailer because of a quality mobile app or web experience, and nearly 40% said they planned to order more products this year on mobile than last year.

The result – if you get it right are ringing shopping carts and sale order apps. Which we are pleased to report are exactly what the Website Design Cheltenham‘s Straw Baskets UK supremos at Jack Straws are experiencing.

Gloucestershire Airport Webcam tops Google

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

Our new Gloucestershire Airport Webcam site now tops Google rankings

When the leading helicopter pilot training flying school at Gloucestershire Airport the James Kenwright Helicopter Trainers asked us at website design cheltenham to build a new site to show the latest helicopter movements of their growing fleet of Robinson R22 and R44s we decided that setting up a webcam may be the answer to their thoughts.

So we researched the technical, legal and practical issues to overcome the various ramifications before building and launching the website itself.

Having tried an tested various alternatives we hit apon the current solution.

The next step was to search engine optimise the site so that not only the search engines like Google would find and rank the site, but that also humans- and more importantly trainee helicopter pilots would find the site. Thus generating traffic and leads to James Kenwright.

And we are now pleased to report that we are doing just that as the Gloucestershire Airport Webcam site now tops Google’s listings!

JK Helicopter Training in Gloucestershire trains people to pass their helicopter pilot’s licence PPL(H) training instructor and helicopter gift pleasure flights from Staverton, Gloucestershire airport.

Based at Staverton Gloucestershire Airport they have over 27 years expertise in helping pilots to pass their PPL(H), Type Rating, Night Rating, CPL(H) and have many happy people who can recommend us as “highly skilled, quality helicopter training instructors“

So, if you want your organisation’s profile raised to the skies with some creative technical thinking, please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!

Website Design Drives Cheltenham’s Blossom Vehicle Leasing

Posted on October 26, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

Website Design in Cheltenham is Driving Blossom Vehicle Leasing.

Blossom Vehicle Leasing specialists have asked Website Design Cheltenham to help drive more traffic and sales to their site and business.

Marketing Director Kevin Costelloe wanted to broaden the range of sales channels that they use to generate new leads and business so they approached us to draw up a range of online marketing proposals to help them achieve their sales targets.

Unfortunately in online and digital marketing there is no one single channel of distribution which will deliver a cost effective set of business goals.

As such one has to start off with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Research which we conducted for the Chartered Institute of Marketing (the world’s largest group of marketing professionals) many years ago- and which has been revalidated over the intervening years by many others, SEO is the most effective method of the marketing mix.

Therefore we have drawn up a list of SEO recommendations for all of Blossom’s key pages which include their constantly changing Leasing Deals Special Offers pages.

Content Marketing is becoming increasingly important for both the search engines and also humans so what is generated and how it is used is key to cost effective digital marketing.

From there we drew up a list of social media recommendations to make the most of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram- to name but three.

Next up is the “paid for” marketing channels. Google is no longer the standout choice as their are several challengers here in the UK. So we are now working on a series of recommendations for Blossom over the forthcoming weeks and months. Because successful online is a marathon- not a sprint.

Website Redesigns and Secures Glos Credit Union

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

Website Design in Cheltenham has redesigned and secured the Gloucestershire Credit Union’s site.

Website Design in Cheltenham has redesigns and secured the Gloucestershire Credit Union's site. Website Design in Cheltenham has already redesigned and built the Stroud Valley Credit Union‘s website in the County so taking over and upgrading the Glos Credit Union (GCU) site was a natural, logical extension of our secure and reliable services.

The existing GCU site had a series of issues which were highlighted when we had a review meeting at cyber security experts GCHQ a few months ago. As a result the Board of the GCU decided that major action was required to update the site to encourage greater customer usage by improving the security and resultant confidence in the site.

Now the website has a secure online application form so that people can apply for loans at their own convenience rather than relaying on slow, paper based applications. Which should also increase the number of applications.

Credit Unions are community organisations that offer a range of financial services to their members. They are locally based and ethically run offering an affordable way to borrow money as well as a safe and secure place to save it. Credit Unions are for everyone and serve everybody’s financial needs.

Credit union members make regular savings, as little or as much as they wish. These savings then form a common pool of money from which loans are made to members. Members who have been saving for a certain period of time (usually about 12 weeks) can apply for a loan at lower interest rates than those without savings. The interest charged on loans is the credit union’s income.

So, if you want your organisation’s website to make you more traffic, leads and sales by improving your security and reputation, please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!

Website Design Cheltenham Secures Emily Bradbury’s Site.

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.

Gloucestershire Airport Webcam goes live

Posted on August 23, 2017 by Website Design Cheltenham

The Gloucestershire Airport Webcam site has gone live.

One of Website Design Cheltenham’s clients JK Helicopter Training– Gloucestershire Staverton Airport’s leading helicopter pilot training organisation, have asked us to create a live webcam to stream the flights coming an d going to the airport.

Gloucestershire Airport (IATA: GLO, ICAO: EGBJ), formerly Staverton Airport, is located at Staverton, in the Borough of Tewkesbury within Gloucestershire, England. It lies 3.5 nautical miles (4.0 miles) west of Cheltenham, near the city of Gloucester and close to the M5 motorway.

The airport is regularly used for private charter flights to destinations such as Jersey and Guernsey. Between 2013 and 2017, Citywing operated scheduled flights from the airport, describing it as “Gloucester (M5) Airport” and marketing it as an alternative to Birmingham Airport, Bristol Airport and to a lesser extent Oxford Airport. This was due the airport’s ease of use and fast handling of passengers, compared to its larger counterparts.

Our role is to develop a webcam to promote the Gloucestershire Airport and the James Kenwright helicopter pilot training school. And get a great ranking and visitor traffic to boot!

So, if you want your organisation’s profile raised to the skies please contact us NOW or ring us on now on 01242 521967 to see how we can help you to make money as well!
