One of our favourite local pubs needed some way to manage their table and room bookings. Little did they know that the would be the busiest they have ever been.

The key was creating images and a video that really stood out and make bookings the first thing you see on the website. This project was a pleasure from start to finish and Jamie at the YOFI is constantly singing our praises. Thank you.

Sometimes projects take time.. A thriving business like Ski Goddess can find it hard to stop and change things when they are doing just fine as they are.

I started working with Katie almost 3 years ago and I see a long future ahead of us. Her bespoke ski holidays for women has a perfect market niche and rebuilding her website was only the first step of taking her business to a new level. We have also spent many hours on making her booking process more efficient for her and her Goddesses.  The next step is creating a ski course online.. watch this space.

As always, the beauty of the website couldn’t happen without my partnership with M:art design.

I’ve been wanting to take my business in new directions this past year and Polly and Mountain Yoga Breaks gave me the perfect opportunity.  MYB has built up a fantastic following, with great feedback, and super events.  Polly was ready to take things to the next level.  Helping her bring together a new website was only a small part of the project.  We spent a lot of time understanding who Polly was, what she wanted her business to be, and the best way to share that with her current and future clients online.

We worked on everything from writing better content, to understanding the best way to set up mailing lists and engaging with her customers.  I’ve loved every minute of work we’ve done together, and I look forward to the work we may do in the future.

If you’ve ever thought about taking your business to the step but weren’t sure how to do it.. maybe small business mentoring is for you?  Please get in touch to learn more.

Supporting a friend and her charity

Sometimes helping out a friend is more satisfying then any big complex project. Clare was desperate to modernise her website. Her goal was to be able to post regular news and allow pdfs to be attached to them. Wamba Community Trust is now fresh and super easy to update. This allows Clare to dedicate her time to helping Wamba’s community.

An elegant and easy to use shopping site for handmade yarn.

It is super satisfying to help small businesses get online. No matter what your age or experience, we can create a simply website that is easy to use.

Allowing this North Wales business to make their first online sale internationally. A great project with m:art design.

One of our biggest projects to date.

Chilli Penugin’s success has been building over the past 10 years and they had finally reached a point that they needed their website to catch up.

There were 2 main goals with the website, create a beautiful engaging, showstopper of a website and create a dealer only ordering area to make life easier.

M:art Design, created a stunning visual concept that is amazing to look at and engages visitors from the first moment they arrive.

Do It Simply insured the functionality and ease of use were top notch.  A very large amount of time was taken to discuss and understand Chilli’s current production and sales process.  With this information I built a system that made it easy to order for their dealers and kept the process checked and verified by Chilli.  I can’t wait to work with them again.

This is what can be achieved when you combine a great design with technical know-how.  The project resulted in a fantastic booking system for 3 holiday lets.  Parc Wernol needed to offer a mixture of 3 and 7 day bookings with pricing varying by season.  It was also important that if they wanted to run special discount for a week or even days, they could do it.  Each property has it’s own pricing, days available, and calendar.

Like many family run businesses everything that Parc Wernol did was by hand.  From taking phone calls for questions and payment, to physically writing into a diary who had paid and who was visiting.  Not only did this add confusion but it took up a lot of their time that could have been spent working on other parts of their business.

With a beautiful design by m:art and the creation of it by do it simply Parc Wernol have a site that not only attracts more customers but makes their life easier keeping track of who/when and payments.

The first stage in helping Nutritional Shift was getting their online shop back up and running.  They had been dealing with problems with their hosting service, an outdated shop, and many other small niggles.

Although we discussed a much bigger project to create a website that resonated with their customers and worked harder for them, this first stage was just getting them back up and running.

Their shop is simple to modify, has small design hints to tie in with their upcoming new branding, and most importantly easy to use for their customers and themselves.  Some key features included are international and weight based shipping, automatic printable invoices, and allowing their shipping partners immediate access when an order is placed.  Stay tuned for the next phase in a few months time.

Working closely with Mart Design, we created a beautiful single page site.  A flawless design allows the technical aspect to be built in tight time frame and on budget.

A beautiful site doesn’t need to cost the world or take months to create.

Every small business does indeed need a web presence.

When I offered to work with Offshore Storage they were very reticent about having to look after a website and its added complications.  I wanted to insure that whatever was produced it didn’t add any additional work to their day to day business.  The added bonus was that I managed to take some of their routine time wasting issues away in the process.

The sites main goal was to take away some of their unnecessary and unsocialable hour phone calls.  This was done by  by showing distinct office hours and providing answers to the most common queries on their homepage.  Added to this was a  simply contact form so that potential customers could still enquire at any time of day.  I talked the business owners through setting up their email client to receive the business emails and away they went.  They have reported a reduction in phone calls, and a few compliments thrown in on their new site.
