Welcome to a round up of the latest websites we have launched in September 2013, a wide range from e-commerce, estate agency and bespoke website builds.

If you would like to know more about having a great looking website designed and developed for your business, please get in touch.  Funding for up to 40% of the total costs of each web project is available for certain types of business – please ask for more details.

Firstly is our new brochure website for an exciting new Indian restaurant, recently opened in Amble, Northumberland.  The website has been carefully designed to offer customers a potential slice of what is fast becoming one of the most iconic restaurants in Northumberland, serving traditional Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine.  As well as a good-looking website, we also extended the site to tie in with the MailChimp email marketing software, so the client could most effectively capture the email addresses and details of potential customers and keep them up to date with news and special offers.  http://www.tajmahalamble.co.uk/

Next is Dial a Driver, a unique website passed onto ourselves for completion building on the start of a great idea.  The client’s business is to help supply takeaway businesses with drivers on a sort or long term basis, and use the website to help match up takeaways with a database of drivers.  Rolling out to the North East this month and nationally in 2014, the business is showing every promise of the next great internet success in the field after Just Eat and Hungry House.  http://www.dial-a-driver.co.uk/

Coast and Castles (formerly Town and City) in Alnwick approached our business after hearing about our experience and expertise in building website solutions for Estate Agents.  They required a web-based extranet system which allows their employees both locally and nationally to amange via a web browser, to allow them to add property details, set up appointments and manage buyers and sellers alike.  The system also needed to seamlessly update their listings on Estate Agent portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla.   It has been so well received that we are already expanding the system to include Case Management and further website Integration.

Finally we have made some major extensions to the functionality of market leading Men’s Tie e-commerce website Oliver Bainbridge.  As well as a re-skin, we have added several new features including reviews, blogging, recategorisation, social media integration and enhanced CMS features.  For example the system will remind new customers to leave a review in exchange for a discount off their next purchase – vital to both increasing sales and assisting with repeat business.  The system has also had an intense SEO makeover, with every element of the system optimised.  http://www.oliverbainbridge.co.uk/
