This very bold, vibrant brand wanted to easily add new projects to their site and were currently beholden to their agency to do this. Part of the beauty of working in Wix, is the ability โ€˜hand over the keysโ€™ so business owners can manage their own sites themselves negating costs or delays (although Iโ€™m always there if required).

But we went further than just providing a straight rebuild of the existing site in Wix to provide the required functionality- In doing a deeper review of this existing site, I highlighted areas that could make the site work harder, not least on the homepage. Given that 80% of people only ever read the homepage, it needed to communicate the benefits of working with Refuze quickly, cleanly and with impact.

To achieve this, we implemented a few simple but powerful design and structural changes:

โœจ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜†: I tweaked the design so the text no longer battled for attention with the imagery, and ensuring the bold visuals complemented the wording.

โœจ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜€: I gave much more weight to their โ€˜Design. Relate. Create.โ€™ ethos statement throughout the site, making it its own little box out and linking in appropriately throughout.

โœจ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: I revised negative talk of "worries" which the copy on the page had focused on, turning into positive, easily digestible statements about how Refuze could help.

โœจ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†: I used their boxed logo design throughout the site to inject more personality and flavour.

โœจ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: I overhauled the navigation into specific 'sectors' - with a drop-down option directing users straight to specific refurbishment sectors (Restaurant, Cafรฉ, Pub, Shop) to provide increased usability and to lay the groundwork for SEO keyword targeting.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ: A striking, user-friendly, optimised, and functional site revamp that works harder for the business, completely handed over to a happy client!

Next on the list (working backwards alphabetically still) is Steven Moseley Equine Dentist

This one pager was created for Steve when he moved from Somerset - where he had trained, qualified and practiced for some years - to set up in South Wales.

A key part of this site was the SEO and needing to be found by new people. So we targeted the key search word 'Equine Dentist Wales' - and if you do your own search now, you'll see his business appears in position one and appears in the top 3 on the 'map pack'

Granted there are now many other considerations to search -moving from Search ENGINE optimisations to Search EVERYWHERE optimisation - AI, and the social channels that drive searches. But since traditional search engine currently still hold around 80% of searches, with Google alone at ~73.7%*, this is still pretty useful

It's nice looking back at all the sites I've built over the years.

We have another new site going live soon. It begins with an A so I will be jumping around the alphabet again ๐Ÿ˜‚

Today's website is work with purpose. This was a really fabulous project. Working with the exceptionally talented owner on the branding - both in terms of it's key value proposition and giving it's existing look and feel a refresh.

It was very humbling learning about all the genuinely sustainable practices that companies were undertaking and that Nadine was championing. Not just lip service but real change.

As both an academic leader of change and active practitioner, i felt privileged to work on this project and since the owner worked so closely with all the parties involved to ensure the changes made were actually embedded in corporate culture our final proposition was Creating lasting change from within.

Within the company, within the person, within the community.

The design was provided as usual by our talented colleague Emma from Design by Pie.

I loved pulling this site together and learning everything I did about sustainability and sustainable practices. It made my every day marketing activities feel rather meagre.

In a manor of returning to my original Z-A plan, the next website to showcase is Wells Soup.

Wells SOUP! is one of my sites that is self managed. When I started SME Marketeers one of the issues we heard time and time again was that small business/clubs were unable to make changes to their own sites without incurring costs or waiting months in a queue, or just didn't have access. Wix is a really user-friendly CMS tool which allows me to build the initial site and framework and then hand over to the business/group/club to manage thereafter. But I can be on hand if needed. Wells SOUP! already had a logo and as a hugely popular event now so well attended that it's held at Wells Cathedral, it needed it's own site.

Back to SOUP! - This was a truly amazing idea created and led by two wonderful humans who are sadly no longer with us, but the mantle continues to be carried by it's dedicated team.

The brainchild of Simon Lawder - the most inspiring and yet genuinely kind person you could ever meet - SOUP! was a brilliantly and effective simple concept....

The people in the Wells community were invited once a quarter to attend the SOUP! fund-raising lunch.

Attendees paid ยฃ7 for their soup and roll, catching up with friends whilst listening to 4 local groups pitch their project. These range from charities, culture, regeneration, community, social justice, social enterprise, education, to technology and more. After which, every attendee cast their vote.

The winning project received half of the money taken on the door. The other half being shared between the remaining projects. So nobody goes home empty handed.

SOUP! Is a wonderful demonstration of how a community can come together to support itself - how it can start conversations, make new contacts, share enjoyable times and improve their home.

To date it has given financial support to over 100 local projects.

SOUP! is a quarterly fund-raising event that supports local charities and projects around Wells. Find out how you can support your community and have fun!

How did I miss Winsaula Alpacas!

This is another beautiful site done in collaboration with our exceptional design colleague Emma Haynes I'd Design by Pie.

The Winsaula Alpacas site went live in April (so after Kate's K9 and Equines but before Jai Dee and the SGF village)

Winsaula Alpacas is a lovely breeder of Suri Alpacas but they aren't just another breeder.... They are award winning, elite alpacas. Regularly out competing in the show ring at British Alpaca Society National shows and County shows, Winsaula Stud Males and Females bring home win after win, from beat breeder and best of breed to best in colour best coat and more. And it's not just their Alpacas - many of their progeny are winners too!

Winsaula Alpacas wanted to revamp their logo and colour pallet as well as create a new site, so this project went first to our designer to deliver. With the beautiful Winsaula Joker as the inspiration, the new logo not all portrayed all the key attributes of these captivating animals - the majesty, presence and calm confidence - but also the dedication to best of breed and future genetics that is so deeply fundamental to Winsaula as well as the kind support and welcome to the Alpaca community.

The site showcases their heritage, the beautiful alpacas at stud and for sale, and also their BAS accredited training courses.

Award-winning Suri alpaca stud in Somerset, Winsaula offers champion bloodlines, elite stud services, alpacas for sale, and BAS-accredited training.

The next site I want to share is another one that went live earlier this year in March for a new business that had been running for a year promoted locally through Facebook

I've known Kate for many years now, first meeting her in her teens with her horse Rodney. Kate always had a very quiet, calm approach and connection with animals even then. You could see drive in her even then and maturity beyond her years. Cleary with what the industry used to call a "self-starter" with a "can-do attitude", it was no surprise that she chose to follow her passion, training at Hartpury to complete her equine diploma and then taking herself through further animal behaviour and care courses (including first aid!) to set up her own business caring for animals.

Today in her 20s, Kate runs a successful dog walking and pet sitting business for people in Weston and the surrounding North Somerset villages. Kate also offers equine care and riding services if you need daily support or holiday cover, and with her lovely new van also operates a pet taxi for small animals. She can even es**rt your fury family members to your wedding day, caring for their every need so that they can share your special day and photos!

Reliable dog walking & pet sitting services. Friendly, insured care for your pets with flexible visits, walks & home sitting. Get in touch with Kate today!

You may have seen my post about the lovely Lane End Camping site we created. Lane End Camping is just one of the services offered at Lane End Farm in Somerset.

As a working farm, as you might imagine it has both animals and produce. Home to the rare and beautiful Jacob sheep, which they breed, Dom and his team are also busy each year:
๐Ÿšœ providing hay and haylage,
๐ŸŽcaring for the retired grass livery horses and their winter polo pony guests,
๐Ÿชฟplus the feathered residents (the geese)

As well as organising festive events
๐ŸŽ…At Christmas with Santa attending
๐ŸฃAt Easter
๐Ÿฆ† and even simulated game shoots.

And when the hat is cut they open one if their fields up to local riders for a bit of cross country practice

All on top of their 'day jobs' - Dom is a local farrier and wife Rachel is a local vet.

Discover Lane End Farm in Somerset, where we offer wild camping, farriery, grass livery, quality hay and straw and pedigree Jacob sheep. It's all at Lane End Farm!

I did well with the regular posting! I am busy building again! And yes I know I could write a load and schedule them but I want to do these but I want to be more authentic to use a buzz term and actually do them justice.

Today's site is one that went live at the beginning of the year.

The beautiful Lane End Camping site. This site involved the truly exceptional and talented designer that we work with - Design by Pie.

Lane End Camping is a wild camping site offering 7 tent pitches and 2 cosy shepherd pods (to save people putting up tents!) at Lane End Farm in Somerset. With stunning countryside views, you can get off the beaten track, and since you're staying on a working farm you get to be surrounded by animals and nature.... But... If the kids get bored, your dog wants to explore or you just tire of cooking on the firepit, you are actually very close to local Somerset attractions (Cheddar, Wookey, Wells) local pubs and just a few mikes from beaches.

The owners Dom and Rachel make your stay really special and although it's wild camping (no showers just an eco-loo) i wanted this site to reflect the warm welcome, the animals friendly environment and it's lovely rustic feel. So we went with the illustration/photo mix. Blending that welcoming country rustic feel with real images of the beautiful Somerset campsite. I hope you enjoy...

Enjoy Wild Camping in Somerset at Lane End Farm. Family-friendly campsite with tent pitches and pods for an unforgettable countryside adventure. Dogs welcome!

Another busy week, I was going to post this on Saturday morning but I awarded myself some downtime with my pony, Fred, this weekend.

On Friday we set live another new site for another great local business - the SGF Village. SGF stands for Seriously Good Food.

Just 5 mins from the Cheddar Gorge in Bath Street Cheddar, the SGF Village provides a shared dining space for people to order food from any (or all) of it's 3 kitchens - the Bath Arms pub restaurant, the Village Cafรฉ and Bakery, and jai Dee (Asian Street Food).

Literally offering something for everyone. One of your group wants cake, one wants a full meal, one of you fancies the Asian buffet food? All of you can have what you want and you can sit together in the lovely terrace or if the weather's a bit 'British' in the lovely undercover seating area. Perfect after a hard few hours on your feet exploring the local attractions.

SGF Village is a shared dining space with a cosy pub restaurant, fresh cafรฉ bakery and Asian kitchen near the Cheddar Gorge. One space, something for everyone.

I know, I know, I was going to go backwards from Z, and I've had two sites go live this month and the first one was also a 'W', so I promise that is next and I'll get back in an orderly fashion BUUUUUUTTTTT......

Yesterday's site went live in preparation for the opening day launch of Jai Dee Glastonbury.

This cracking little restaurant has nabbed a great spot on the Glastonbury high street, in the little market place in the corner. Perfect for grabbing something to eat before carnival!

Serving authentic Asian street foods, like Thai Green Curry, Massaman as well as wok-tossed stir-fry favs, Pad Thai, Yaboska Noodles, this Asian Takeaway is done uniquely in buffer style, so you walk in, pick a box size - small, medium or large and then pack it with your favourite dish made that night. Pick a rice or noodle base, a curry or stir-fry main, an Asian style veg and a sauce. And of course who can refuse a little extra like spring rolls, satay chicken or pork belly bites?

As someone who's travelled in Thailand and Sri Lanka (and done a cookery course at both!) this is very exciting.

There's already a successful Jai Dee in Cheddar, so Executive Chef Dan is branching out already....

Authentic takeaway in Glastonbury's centre. Jai Dee's buffet-style street food offers bold flavours, fresh ingredients and quick service. Perfect for lunch or dinner.
