It is great when you can surprise a customer!
Alan came to us on a recommendation and wanted something like his current site, or at least that was what he thought he wanted!
The current site was around 8 years old and to be honest it looked it. No website can stand the test of the last few years progression in website design. Alan was unable to edit anything on the site at all and some of the content had obviously been there since the start.
The first draft response from Alan was "Not really what i expected but the more i look at it the better it gets" - We will take that as a compliment!
So Alan now has a fully mobile friendly, Google optimised vehicle sales website with which he can simply login and change absolutely anything he likes and he could do it from any computer anywhere in the world if he needed to.
We have some ongoing work with some of his product imagery but nothing too onerous and we will help him with this all the way so that his website will at last feature in Google searches where it has never before.
So if you are in the market for a trailer, animal transporter, commercial vehicle repairs etc then give SMLRS a call and obviously visit their shiny new website at https://www.trailersrus.net
If you would like a website like this one or indeed nothing like this one get in touch via our contact page!
Another site ranking fast!
This site has got to Google page 1 search results within 1 week! We have never achieved this before so would obviously like to brag about it!
The site was setup to rank well but to get to page 1 of organic searches so quickly is fantastic - try a search for "Garage Doors Mid Devon" - after 6 days this was at number 7 so we are confident it will get even better than this too.
A simple website with lots of great imagery and finished in just a couple of weeks it shows how effective a proper website with a genuine Content Management System can be. This website will grow and grow as the business does. There is no limit ever to the size, so if your webhost is telling you your site is too big or they want to charge you extra, come and tell us about it.
Have a look at the simple image galleries where the website owner can add an image or 100 images in just a few seconds with easy to follow instructions, and with an instructional video if they prefer.

This site has it all!
Amanda Kirtland-Page has been a client of ours for a long time, we have had the pleasure of setting up several different sites for her, this site was the first one we managed for her and it has been a pleasure to totally rebuild it for her with a few really important things in mind.
The original website was built with Wordpress, it was complicated to update and I think Amanda had lost the love for her most important site, spending far too long trying to get something to work when she knew exactly how she wanted it to look.
If this sounds familiar have a look at the Joomla Content Management System. We have built this new site for Amanda with Joomla so that she can control all parts of it with ease. There is a shop where she can sell downloadable along with "hard goods", an awesome events manager where she can take bookings with payments, there is a fully featured blog and on top of all this she has all her featured "products" detailed on individual pages.
The new site is fully optimised to get the best from Google searches and we will be looking to introduce video to the site shortly to keep the viewer on the pages that little bit longer - Google loves this!
This is the first time we have setup a shop with downloadable products, the system works exactly the same as for "hard goods" and both are contained within this shop. Both types of product end up in our simple "one page checkout" where the customer can complete payment and enter all their details on the same page before being sent to Paypal to complete. If you believe you are losing sales in your cart this is really important and will always lead to far fewer abandoned shopping carts this way.
This entire site was completed in around 2 months and is presented in a way to run as fast as possible with Google analytics and spam protection with the Google Recaptcha system.

Keep It Cool & Catering
Keep It Cool & Catering are a big part of Bideford, North Devon, the brightly coloured vans are often spotted in North Devon but they cover a huge area of the South West too.
Their website was not mobile friendly and had been built with a non standard Content Management System which was years out of date and the company were not able to adjust it let alone keep regular updates on it.
A website should be a living thing, that is the way to get Google interested. If you leave your website alone for years then it will only be any good as a brochure or link to your business card. Lets hope this website grows and grows now.
So there are 4 strands of the business. Air Conditioning - Catering (commercial kitchens) - Refrigeration (cold rooms and walk in fridges and freezers) as well as Trailer hire (fridge and freezer trailers)
The plan is to build on the current pages which include a service page for each strand and an example page for each strand also. Hopefully going forward there will be more example pages going up which will showcase the work and hit Google search engines really well.
SEO is everything for this site. We have measured all the keywords at site launch and are hoping for massive improvements soon.
Pop over to their new website and see for yourself at https://www.keepitcoolsouthwest.co.uk
