TRURO HYPNOTHERAPY
We have recently launched a brand new website for Truro Hypnotherapy. Our client wanted a bright, friendly site that was easy to navigate and that also allowed him to regularly update the content. So we designed and created a colourful CMS site and after just a couple of hours training the client is now fully in control and delighted with the results.

DOLPHIN HOLIDAYS WEBSITE
Hudson Armstrong Design have just launched a new website for Dolphin Holidays near Looe in Cornwall.

Although only launched a few days ago the new site is already attracting a lot of traffic.

TREGEDNA FARM WEBSITE
We recently redesigned and rebuilt the website for Tregedna Farm Holidays near Falmouth in Cornwall.
Originally Hudson Armstrong Design had created the site for this farm campsite and lodge a few years ago. As the client now wishes to have much more control over editing and loading new images we freshened up the look of the site and rebuilt it with a very user-friendly CMS interface.

Get another top spot on Google
So many companies register multiple domain names but do very little with them. Domains are only really effective if they have their own website files rather than being forwarded to your main website domain. So how can you make better use of those extra domains and help squeeze out the competition from the top spot? Create a series of mini sites targeted to specific search terms, all with relevant and fresh SEO content and links that feed visitors into your main website. We have adopted this approach for Portscatho Holidays as part of their long term SEO strategy. Targeting St Mawes holiday cottages search terms we have launched a mini site www.stmawescottages.co.uk which is a domain this client has owned for years. Ensuring the same feel as the their main site, visitors have a very smooth transition from one site to the other keeping the visitor experience positive and helping with conversations. This approach is good for long term organic growth but seeing the results of this will be a slower process than doing other SEO activities such as a pay per click campaign. When looking at an online marketing strategy as a whole, mini sites offer value for money and a great way to secure another top spot on organic Google listings. If you could wouldn’t you rather have 2 out of the top 3 results?

Avoid a Friday launch
It’s always very exciting to get a new website live after months of hard work. You want the world to see it and start feeling the benefits of having a shining new website – BUT – no matter how tempting it may be, never launch a new website on a Friday! If you launch on a Friday chances are you will do a few more quick tests then go home for the weekend. When you return to work on Monday you will no doubt find error messages for things that didn’t quite work as they should have over the weekend – not really the best of starts for a new site.
The key to a successful launch is to agree a day early on in the week, make sure everyone involved is notified of the date, then test, test, test! If more development has to be done as a result of the testing then don’t be afraid to move your launch date – often last minute changes can sometimes undo other functionality. Your website developer should take care of all cross browser and accessibility issues and add your google analytic codes but you need to go through the site and check all links, forms, content, images and spellings. Sometimes it helps to get a fresh pair of eyes to go through the website content so ask a few friends or work colleagues to have a look at it before you go live. Of course if you are launching an e-commerce website or a database driven CMS there will more in-depth checking and testing to be done.
Once your website is live it’s advisable to let it “bed in” for a few days before you send out a press releases or tell everyone on your facebook or twitter account. No website is ever perfect when it goes live – it’s a good approach to have some budget in place to refine and improve your website once you have a few months of statistics to see what is really happening on your website and how your customers are using the site. It may also take a few months for your website to show on organic search engine results if it’s a new domain name so be prepared to push traffic to your site via other means in the first few months, this could be the press, targeted mail outs, social media, google AdWords or paid directory listings – it really depends on your budget and marketing plan.
