Cheltenham website redesigns Chalets Direct

Cheltenham has redesigned the Chalets Direct website.

Cheltenham has redesigned the Chalets Direct websiteCheltenham Website Design has redesigned the Chalets Direct mobile site.

Chalets Direct – Europe’s largest chalet accommodation website has been a long standing client of Website Design Cheltenham and they had asked us to improve the mobile version as this format is a fast growing segment of the market – which is also a long standing trend.

Chalets Direct offers ski chalets, luxury ski chalets and ski holiday accommodation whether catered and self-catered skiing holidays in France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Canada and the USA. Resorts include Chamonix, Courchevel, Val d’Isere, Morzine, Meribel, Les Arcs, Tignes, Verbier, Zermatt, Colorado, and St Anton. Summer holidays in the Alps, Pyrenees, Rockies and Europe.

Mobile websites aka responsive websites are now receiving half of all UK search traffic, so making them as useful as possible is a growing priority for owners. And users and customers.

It’s not just a question of redesigning the text and layouts of sites but also creating several sizes of each and every image as different smart phones, laptops and notepad have different sized screens. Each of which needs it’s own specifically sized set of images.

Cheltenham Wedding DJ and Pianist picks Website Design

Cheltenham Wedding DJ and Pianist Pete Butler has picked us to revamp his website.

Cheltenham Wedding DJ and Pianist Pete Butler has picked us to revamp his website.
Website Design Cheltenham has been asked by Cheltenham Wedding Pianist and DJ Peter Butler to completely rebuild his website including search engine optimisation, content management and Google promotion – all within a responsive framework.

Having advised Peter Butler several years ago on the best online marketing opportunities at the time and tweaking his website then, we were pleased when he approached us again before Christmas to revamp his website.

As you may appreciate website developments continue to evolve on a continual basis – so what was “cutting edge” several years ago is now “old hat” and if not obsolete, at least not very productive.

As such Peter’s rankings had dropped down Google’s rankings and he needed an uplift. However to achieve this we had to completely rebuild his website so that it now conforms not only to Google’s but his prospective clients’ requirements and expectations.

However he naturally still liked his existing “look and feel” so we had to work within his limitations. Which was not a problem for us.

At the end we have transformed his website from an 8 page one into one with 63 highly optimised pages and resubmitted them all to Google. As a result Peter is zooming back up Google’s charts.

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!

Website Design Cheltenham Activates Yoga Club

Website Design Cheltenham has built up the new Active Yoga Club site.

Website Design Cheltenham has built up the new Active Yoga Club site.

Active Yoga Club was set up to help promote qualified, trained Yoga and Pilates instructors and teachers in the UK and provides information and booking for classes and events.

Yoga originated in India and was an holistic approach to lifestyle including physical, mental, and spiritual practices. It has become increasing popular in the West and practice has also spread to other parts of Asia. The word ‘yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ‘to yoke’, reflecting the fact that yoga aims to ‘yoke’ or link body and mind, enhancing complete well being.

In the West, yoga covers a wide range of styles and practices. Often, the main focus is on physical postures or ‘stretches’ (the asanas), breathing and relaxation-based techniques, often incorporating some form of meditation.

Various forms of yoga exist, from those that fit most closely with its original form comprising a whole approach to lifestyle, through to broad styles such as Hatha and Iyengar yoga and more innovative practices, including Bikram (‘hot yoga’) and laughter yoga.

Currently the UK yoga market is worth £812 million pa with 2.3% growth 2012-17 employing 15,953 people in 4118 businesses. However there was no UK mobile friendly central Yoga facility.

Website Design Cheltenham was briefed to build a mobile friendly, search engine optimised site which will publicise the various Yoga instructors and teachers- and allow people to book classes and events.

With smart phones increasingly dominating online researching, ordering and buying – the need to provide a mobile friendly service is now paramount.

Website Design Cheltenham chalks up School Uniform Shop

Website Design Cheltenham has chalked up the School Uniform Shop site.

Website Design in Cheltenham has chalked up the School Uniform Shop siteWebsite Design in Cheltenham has chalked up the School Uniform Shop UK site.

One of our longstanding clients- Universal Uniforms recently asked us to update their school uniform website.

We built this site for them several years ago and it has been largely dormant ever since- however it still had a first page ranking on Google.

But with Google constantly changing the ways that they rank sites the uniform site needed a revamp to make it responsive and to have it’s search engine optimisation updated.

Plus due to increasing demand for it’s business services the client had moved to larger premises so they also needed the contact details updating.

Accordingly we completely revamped the “look and feel” and set about updating the content to reflect the changing nature of the business. And then updated Google as to the site’s revised content.

The client was so delighted that they paid our invoice within 24 hours- so we are pretty chuffed too!

So, if you want to increase your business’s profile- and your website’s sales then please contact us NOW or ring us on 01242 521967 now to see how we can help you to make money as well!

New business floods in for Prestbury Bathrooms

New business floods in for one of our clients- Prestbury Bathrooms.

New business floods in for one of our clients- Prestbury Bathrooms.Website Design Cheltenham were approached by Mark Clay the Managing Director of Prestbury Bathrooms last year to help them rebuild their website and to get more traffic and business as a result.

There are three things that any business needs to do to win new business- whether they are online or offline:

  • Be found;
  • Offer the good and services that people want to buy;
  • Convey the trust that the business will delivery on people’s hard earned money.

We then researched the keywords that potential new customers are using for Prestbury Bathrooms’ services and completely redesigned, made responsive and optimised a whole new website.

Secondly element- the website has to match the new customers’ expectations- which in this case is skilled, great value bathroom design installation services.

Which may sound easy enough until you consider that all of these screens- computer, notepads and smart phones have different dimensions. So all the website’s images have to be resized so that all appear correctly.

Thus when a website depends on it’s images to sell and promote the skills and quality of the business- this becomes a bit of an issue. Thus when a page has nearly two dozen images- and they all need to be resized several times, the process becomes a bit of an organisational task.

The third step is less hard in Prestbury’s case as they are a well established, reputable service with lot of excellent examples and testimonials. They just needed this skilled, professional approach emphasising.

Overall we have managed to promote Prestbury Bathrooms from having three pages listed in Google’s database to having over 40 pages now listed. And we are pleased to say quite a few are now ranked on the first page fo Google for the keyword phrases that Mr Clay wanted.

The business result- Prestbury Bathrooms now have work fully booked for the next four months- as Mark told us today- “Thank you- you must be doing something right we have never been so busy!”

So, if you want help with making money from your website by attracting new customers and new business- please contact us now or ring us on 01242 521967 now to see how we can help you to make money as well!

UK shoppers top online spending league

Shoppers in the UK spend more online per person than those from any other country in the world.

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.

The UK now has a bigger share of mobile phone shopping than the U.S (55%), Germany (43%) and France (35%).  However India remained the standout leader for mobile shopping, with a 65% share, over desktop, 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.

The UK is now a European leader in mobile shopping, far ahead of France, and Germany.
