This month kicked off to such a busy start that we almost forgot to mention the launch of www.everythingbranded.co.uk
Leicester based company EverythingBranded approached 1st WebDesigns to produce their new website, which offers a range of brand-able promotional items including mugs, pens, keyrings and oyster card wallets.
Having been selected for the project due to our experience with retail and product oriented websites, we set about creating a visually striking homepage concept with links to best selling items and offers.
Search engine friendly design
As usual, one of our primary aims was to not only produce a great looking web site, but to also ensure that the individual pages were fast to load and structured in a search engine friendly manner. Each section of the site was hand-coded to avoid “markup bloat” and ensure reliability.
Our quality control procedures involved testing the site in a range of different web browsers to ensure the end result was compatible and rendered consistently for all visitors, including those who use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome.
Editing the website in-house
A custom-built database application allows EverythingBranded to constantly review and expand their product range, in-house and without additional cost. The site also features a helpful “Live Chat” facility that enables customers to communicate directly with a sales representative whilst browsing for products online.
The final word
Paul Rowlett, Managing Director at EverythingBranded said: “We chose 1st WebDesigns because of their experience working with ecommerce sites and online catalogues. We found them to be honest and reliable, and we’re extremely happy with the end result. So far the project has been a huge success, we’ve taken on a new account manager due to the increase in business, and we’re already planning to launch additional micro-websites as a result.”
