A long term existing client asked us to convert a site he had created from a static site into a content managed site, to add a new blog section to it and install the Virtuemart shop.

Website: www.elrobleholidays.com

Task: Online Enquiry and Reservation System
This project involved creating a system which automated the reservation and booking area of the business. In addition a CRM system was built for maintaining client and holiday information.

Holiday Rentals - Chester
Website: www.stayinchester.com

Task: Rapid deployment of new holiday website
The owners of the El Roble Holidays website, which offers Spanish holidays, branched out to offer holidays in the UK as well. They contracted us to provide a second website for the UK holidays which although it should keep a similar style to retain the company branding, it must have its own identity. The CRM and CMS systems from El Roble Holidays were mirrored on the new Chester website.

Task: Newly created site required SEO work

Work was carried out to improve HTML validation, key tags (headings, keywords, titles), and content optimisation to improve keyword density.

A swimming pool contractor required a new website to showcase the swimming pools they had created. This will soon be available in 6 languages, with each language receiving dedicated attention for SEO purposes. The copy(text) for this website was created based on outlined ideas by the business.
Client side scripting has been used to allow the user to see larger images from a selection of thumbnail photographs taken of the pool.
