THE GOOD LIFE

When friends Maggie and Jeremy Howarth announced they were getting away from it all, they really meant it. A Croft House in the Outer Hebrides is their new home and its complete renovation into a North Uist Bed and Breakfast means it's their business too. I hope their new website entices people to join them in getting away from it all - they'll just need to get in line behind me.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Local business women Denise Heap and Helen Durrant opened the doors to their exclusive childrens' shoe shop in Whalley this year. With the business going from strength to strength they asked me to develop their online presence to showcase their fabulous range of carefully selected brands. The result is www.buckle-my-shoe.co.uk a website built on the Wordpress framework which they can update themselves with the changing seasons.

COMMERCIAL FURNITURE DESIGN

Award winning commercial furniture designer Bruce High asked me to design and develop a portfolio website to showcase his work. Designing with another designer proved to be a successful collaboration and the result is a clean, classic site where Bruce's furniture designs take centre stage.

RE-BRAND INCREASES MARKET SHARE

"When we asked Graphic Designer Kate Pollitt to work on our re-brand we did so because we knew we could count on her 100% commitment. The results have been fantastic in re-establishing our brand and in quantitive terms it has led to our market share increasing by approximately 20%. The brand continues to be seen as professional, forward looking and friendly, and since we refreshed the Clitheroe window displays we have noticed a marked increase in window shoppers."

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR NEW WEBSITE LISTED IN GOOGLE?

Simply submitting the address of your new website to Google sadly won't have it rushing to find it and list it. Google is a fussy animal and won't just take your word for it that your site is worth listing - it wants to know other people find it interesting and informative. How? It looks for links to your site within others it already ranks, and then adds it to its already immense index.

So when you launch your new site try to set up some inbound links from relevant, established sites that Google ranks highly and you will be well on your way to being listed on the most infamous of search engines.

"FRESH WEB DESIGN ATTRACTS MORE VISITORS"

"As a website owner I realise the value of a redesign. Return visitors get fed up of seeing the same old thing and if a favourite website shows improvements in content and navigation then it improves the visitor experience and maintains visitor interest.

Web Designer Kate Pollitt has worked with us on the web design and development of our interactive mailers website. With its clean, bright graphics and new features we strongly expect to have visitors flooding in."
