Rebecca Cook is a specialist in the conservation and repair of historical buildings and monuments.

Rebecca came to us with a limited budget but wanting a site that promoted her work and acted as a showcase of her projects across the country and used the detailed photography of projects in progress which were already a key part of her work.

We developed a simple but effective site for Rebecca, designed to perform well in search engines queries for her very specialised areas of work – and it has, bringing in a number of new pieces of work.

As with all sites we support, we make monitor the site constantly to make sure its live, enhance the site where we can (like recently moving the site to https security and ensuring the design is mobile friendly), renew domain names and keep it backed up.

Our online business management software was designed specifically for Seymour after discussion with management and time spent on the shop floor investigating the functionality the staff actually required. It saved time and resources inputting and managing orders across multiple physical locations without deployment issues. Custom reports, invoices, and delivery sheets were paired with an intelligent dashboard providing rapid access to frequent tasks and alerting managers to vehicle service and job input requirements.

Our cost-effective brochureware website development also means we have been able to provide websites for Seymour’s core business, van hire, international freight, and fleet management arms. Good code implementation has enabled us to refresh the web site designs at minimal cost over the years. The websites have successfully generated more business leads and return excellent results in search engines for the client’s desired queries with no online advertising spend.
