Winter Website Makeover

Winter Website Makeover

8 weeks til Christmas and then its straight into the new year.  Before you know it, February Half Term will be here.

Now is the time to look at your website, what can be improved in terms of your image and what can help you drive forward in 2019.

We recently completed a couple of “post-summer” website design makeovers for clients that run seasonal businesses ready for the new year, when they can put their new plan into action.  Is it time you did yours too?

We have jotted down a few handy tips in the run up to the festive season to help you decide on what needs to be done, but what we suggest doing for your website, your business and your marketing strategies.

E-commerce?  Use the festive season to create a buzz

It’s not all doom and gloom for small retailers. In fact, small retailers are becoming more and more popular for holiday shoppers as they look to keep things local and support local small businesses.

With that in mind, go the extra mile when it comes to the festive season.  Offer gift wrapping, offer discount codes, run competitions and giveaways and get active on Social Media.  If you don’t, you’re missing out BIG TIME.

Create a “Guide For Christmas”

Make it easy for people to buy.  Group your Christmas products into areas in your shop/website and allow people to buy easily.  People are more likely to buy more than one Christmas item if there are more than one available.  Sounds simple?  It really is.

Your Hours

Keep them updated.  If you are lengthening hours to give people more time to shop – shout about it!

Reward your workers

If you have a shop, remember your staff!  They will be the face of your brand/shop this festive season, reward them for their work.  Even if it’s a day off, a free product, an extra hour in bed or some extra pay, Christmas is all about giving – so remember those that really help during this busy time.

Image

Change logos, branding, images and all that you can think of to really put a festive spin on your assets.  It all helps when trying to create a festive buzz – and it shouldn’t be left out.

Moving onto the new year, and maybe that is when its time to think about a website redesign or a product update?  Websites should not always be static.  They should change, update, re-invent themselves and generally look to improve.

If you need a new website or help with your existing one, then we can help design you a new one, manage your existing one or help with some SEO – all right here!

If you are interested, then just drop us a message and we can help.  That goes with any of the above, if you need marketing, branding or general help this festive season, get in touch today and see how we can help you for 2018’s festive season.

Working with Shaun has been fantastic. A proper pro, always on hand to help sort things out and provide advice and guidance when needed. And not forgetting his design skills, creativity and knowledge of building websites making them work and run as smoothly as possible - a 1st class service.

Shaun at Innuvo has produced an outstanding site for me. He took time to understand what I needed and explained how things would work, and has blown me — and many of my customers — away with the resulting stunning website. He's been very patient with edits and was on-hand when I went live. The payment system worked without a glitch, and I'm sure it was thanks to the site being so clean and engaging that I sold out of my product within 48 hours. Thank you so much.

We used the services of Innuvo to build our new website for our architectural company. As we're design based, we had really strong ideas of how this should look and feel. Shaun interpreted our requirements perfectly and spent a lot of time ensuring we got exactly what we wanted. His professionalism and patience throughout the whole process were outstanding. We definitely made the right choice and would not hesitate in recommending their services. Thanks again Shaun.

Shaun has produced an absolutely first class website for my new company. I was after a very specific look and feel and Shaun captured that vision perfectly and turned it into reality. His patience and understanding throughout the process were exceptional — even though I kept wanting to make changes, nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge of web design is exemplary and his pricing very reasonable for the quality. I'd definitely recommend Innuvo and Shaun to anybody.

As a superyacht, medical and premier automotive design consultancy, the pressure was on for Shaun. Challenge accepted — high-end results achieved in line with my minimal aesthetic. Great work Innuvo, highly recommended.

I've been absolutely astounded by the amazing support given by Shaun at Innuvo. He really knows his stuff and never fails to solve any issues I come across very quickly. It's not often I feel the need to rave about customer service, but this guy has surpassed all expectations. I have absolute confidence in his abilities — he's like a WordPress wizard!

Working with Shaun of Innuvo to develop my business website was a really positive experience. I explained my vision and site concept and he developed some possible looks. I have no hesitation in recommending Innuvo to prospective customers.

Top class web design service. Shaun really knows his stuff when it comes to building websites. Nothing is too difficult, and the more technical bits like CSS or PHP are second nature to him. Experienced and very knowledgeable in all areas, and the after-support once the site was built has been fantastic. Worth his weight in gold — thanks again!

We hired Innuvo to build our new website and are extremely happy with the results. Professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Shaun at Innuvo formed my website for my start-up company. Following an initial conversation he instantly understood the ethos of the company and translated that into the layout and imagery of the website — it needed very little amending from the first draft. Shaun delivered on creativity and the right site to attract my target market. His ability to respond and deliver very quickly impressed me, and he was always helpful and willing. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
