CNC International's website is launched

We have just launched CNC International's website. CNC had a website but it was becoming outdated. The new look website we have created showcases all of CNC's capabilities: from new and used EDM machine sales to EDM service and maintenance. The site's fast-moving used machine section is kept up-to-date by CNC's team using an easy to use database-driven admin section which we built for the purpose.

Peco Europe's website is launched

We have just launched a new website for Peco Europe, a specialist provider of vacuum insulated cryogenic handling solutions and ancillary equipment to the food and beverage industry. The company had a website which featured plenty of information. Unfortunately, the site was hard to navigate, which made accessing the information difficult. Our brief was to create a coherent web design that worked for both the company's divisions and made information much easier to access. You can explore the website at www.peco-europe.com.

Central Vacuum Solutions website goes live

We have just released a website for a central vacuum supplier, Central Vacuum Solutions. A central vacuum is a whole house cleaning system that can be installed into most properties. The site consists of information on the Variovac system that Central Vacuum Solutions distributes and an online shop that sells the Variovac system and all the component parts.

Recruitment website goes live

We have just completed a database-driven recruitment website. letsrecruit specialises in recruitment in the waste, recycling and environmental sectors.

The site allows candidates to search for roles by location, salary and role. When they find a position they’re interested in, they can express their interest by entering their contact details and uploading a CV. At the same time, they can also ask to be notified if similar jobs come up in future. Alternatively, candidates can simply upload their CV for letsrecruit to hold on file for when suitable roles come up.

The site has a fresh, clean, modern feel. Coupled with the sophisticated database technology behind it, it’s a site we’re very pleased with.

Contract carpet supplier’s website goes live

Marlings Ltd is a leading contract carpets supplier based in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. Their old website was out-of-date both in terms of its design and the information it contained – in short, it didn’t reflect the company’s excellent reputation.

When they approached us, Marlings already knew what we could do, because we designed and now manage their sister company’s website at www.treadsnosings.co.uk. Marlings wanted a website that complemented Treads Stair Nosings’ and also featured a similar online catalogue.

Undoubtedly the biggest part of this site’s development was the photography of all the carpets. We photographed over 300 carpets at three different distances so that visitors to the site can get a clear idea of what every carpet looks like. Aside from being able to view all the carpets in detail, visitors can also request carpet range information and carpet samples.

The site’s creation was undoubtedly time-consuming, but we are delighted with the results. The website is an impressive one that features wealth of information and functionality.

Deep draw pressing company’s website goes live

Do you know what deep draw pressing is? Neither did we until we started work on this site!

Stroud Metal Company specialises in deep draw pressing and has done since the late nineteenth century. The company’s website needed updating to reflect its standing in the industry. As part of the revamp, we needed to help visitors understand what deep draw pressing is as Stroud Metal find that lack of knowledge can be a barrier to a sale. We did this in two ways. Firstly in the design, which reflects the uses of the process. We also provided an easy-to-understand explanation of deep draw pressing and the benefits it offers. So if you’d like to know what it is, visit About Deep Draw Pressing on the Stroud Metal site!

A website for a consultant and training provider

B2B is a Gloucestershire-based company that provides consultancy, NVQs, VRQs and other work-related training to businesses in the UK, Europe and beyond. The company had a website but it was outdated both in terms of design and content. A new website was therefore needed to better reflect the company's excellent reputation and capabilities.

Derek Allford, one of B2B's two directors, had seen the website we'd developed for another training company with whom he worked, Riverside Training. Impressed by what he saw, he approached us to design a new website that would be easy to navigate and provide a wealth of information for clients and potential clients. They would also need us to develop a password-protected area in which trainers, administrators and students could access information for their courses.

Working with B2B, we created a bright and fresh website design that contains a great deal of information on the company's expertise and the courses it offers. We are in the process of developing the password-protected area, which will feature different levels of access for different users.

You can browse the end results at www.b2b.org.uk.

A groundworks and drainage contractor goes online

Willems Contracting is a groundworks and drainage contractor in Malvern. The company approached us to design and write a brochure website that would showcase its skills. The result is a stylish, elegant and informative website that provides a positive online image for the company. You can visit the site at www.willemscontracting.co.uk.

The Dairy House on BBC One!

We were delighted to see one of our clients, The Dairy House, featured on a primetime BBC One programme recently. Can You Bank On Me? aired on 24 August at 9pm. The one-off fly-on-the-wall documentary followed two ex bankers as they worked for a week with businesses that have been on the receiving end of the recession, seeing first hand the knock-on effect of decisions made in the city on smaller companies.

28 year-old Amit, a former Senior Analyst for a large bank, was given a crash course in every aspect of the The Dairy House from milking company’s herd of Jersey cows at the crack of dawn to making and delivering the organic yoghurt, cream and cheese to some of the company’s outlets across the country.

Andrew Wardle, Sales Manager at The Dairy House, contacted us to discuss the impact the programme might have on the site, which is at www.thedairyhouse.co.uk. With such an important marketing opportunity it was vital that the site did not go down under the weight of additional visitors. Although we assured him the site was unlikely to do this, we implemented back-up measures to minimise any possible risks. Happily, the site survived the rush of new visitors to the site. We also arranged for Andrew to receive daily statistics reports before and after the programme was aired. Suffice to say it made a considerable amount of difference to the site's traffic!

Wave Seven Marine launches a new website

Wave Seven Marine is a longstanding client of ours. The company sells innovative marine equipment. Roger Nadin, the company's managing director, originally approached us to develop a information-packed site that would provide potential customers with information prior to making a sales enquiry. The site proved an immediate success and has continued to bring business to company.

However, after over four years, the design was starting to look a little dated and we all felt the structure could be made more user-friendly. We worked with Roger and the rest of his team to design a bright, fresh, easy to navigate website that provides a wealth of information and photographs. You can see the results at www.wseven.com.
