The site

The design
We wanted a really nice wide open design. The company logo was the starting point. We know that in the future content will be added and the site will grow, so the design needed to incorporate the future needs of the business. We heavily modified a widely available template to produce a really nice, clean, crisp look and feel. We opted for a simple typography that is easy on the eye, but conveys the message well
The build
This was a very straightforward build for us. Once the design stage was complete we worked with Mike Smith on the content
Collaboration with Mike Smith – Marketing expert
We worked in conjunction with Mike Smith Consulting on this site, as part of a new exciting business collaboration. Mike wrote the content, whilst we delivered the framework and site. Mike is available on a consultancy basis to all of our customers who need help with sales and marketing copy
The Platform
Essentially this is a WordPress site that has been modified to the business need
