The leading voice in the craft of window cleaning

Neil Gornall - the owner of Purerclean - contacted Drive By Websites recently.   He already had a website but the problem he was experiencing was the fact that he couldn't update his website himself.

He was getting more and more frustrated by the time updates were taking and, of course, the cost he was incurring every time he wanted to make an update.

During our first meeting with clients, we try to get to know as much as we possibly can about their business, for instance - "what they like" and "what they don't like".   One of things we ascertained from Neil was the fact he is a fan of Facebook & Twitter.

Neil's new Drive By website is now easily updateable - he's been given a user manual if he gets stuck with anything, but of course, we are only a 'phone call or email away if he needs our support. 

Oh, by the way, we have also included Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds within his new website - http://purerclean.co.uk/10535/news.

Purerclean is a well established company with an excellent reputation.  Neil Gornall started the company in 2003 and he  has continually strived to maintain the personal feel whilst expanding his company to become one of the largest professional window cleaning companies in the area.

Purerclean was the first window cleaning company in Spalding to use the new water fed pole system.  The Company has been using it for many years and they are able to deal with almost any situation which may arise. They are able to clean all windows and doors which were previously only reachable from ladders plus many that were not, such as that awkward one above the conservatory.


Affordability continues to be the mainstay behind Drive By Websites' philosophy in respect of creating professionally designed websites on behalf of SME's throughout South Lincolnshire and beyond.

It's Affordable - E-Reader and Facebook & Twitter Newsfeeds

1. Facebook newsfeed
2. Twitter newsfeed

These three requirements were designed in beautifully within the website and we are delighted to see that their Facebook business page and Twitter feed are being updated regularly which gives the site added vibrancy - http://riversidetrainingspalding.co.uk

Our Demi - Winner of Apprentice of the Year Award 2013

Wednesday this week, we attended Springfields Events Centre, Spalding for the South Holland Business Awards & Enterprise Day 2013 event.

The Awards - hosted by Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce - aim to support local businesses in recognising outstanding achievements in the area and provide a platform to showcase the very best of South Holland's businesses.

As a token of our appreciation for all the hard word that Demi Blackbourn - our Creative Web Design Apprentice - has done on behalf of Drive By Websites over the past 16 months or so, we nominated her for the award category "Apprentice of the Year 2013" This Award was sponsored by Boston College.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Demi won.  For those lucky enough to have met her will agree with our sentiments when we sing her praises in respect of her design and photographic skills, attention to detail, warm personality and enthusiasm. 

Her commitment to Drive By Websites and our clients is admirable.

Demi's Input Into Drive By Websites' Branding

We felt it important that our branding had to reflect that, as a website company, we are approachable.  Demi was given the task of finding an image to promote this fact.

Introducing “Thomas” – the Drive By Website mascot.

Christmas in Sri Lanka - sound good?

If you are thinking of getting away to somewhere hot and sunny this Christmas then check out The Retreat At The Blue Lagoon, Sri Lanka.

This is a website we recently designed and developed on behalf of  the owners of The Retreat At The Blue Lagoon utilising the unique "Drive By Websites" solution to affordable websites. The site includes a Multi-Lingual Availability Calendar and a Money Converter - http://theretreatatbluelagoon.co.uk


The Retreat comprises a decidedly contemporary villa inspired by the landscape. The sloping site leading down to the lake has been used to maximum advantage.

Opened in 2013, The Retreat is situated at the end of a quiet unpaved road just 10 minutes inland from Hikkaduwa town by tuk tuk (three-wheeler).


 
The glassy lagoon - literally on the doorstep – hosts abundant and  extraordinary wildlife with parakeets, kingfishers, cormorants, sea eagles and mynah birds that roost in the jungle bordering the lagoon.

Monitors, iguanas, chipmonks and leaf monkeys visit the garden by day; while fruit bats fill the skies at dusk.

I run a networking group - Spalding Networking - and also attend various networking meetings over the course of a month.   Networking is an excellent way of making new contacts and guaging opinion in respect of "how things are going".  Despite what the politicians might be saying - it continues to be a challenge running a small business and its tough out there at the moment.

With this in mind, Drive By Websites would like to think that we are continuing to support local SMEs by  offering affordable website solutions.

Increase Your Sales With An Online Shop

As you are reading this blog, like-minded businesses just like yours are gaining a competitive edge by upgrading their brochure style website to an e-commerce website.

It makes sense because more and more people are enjoying the convenience of shopping online 24/7.

Recogising this fact, to help the small biz owner with products to sell, Drive By Websites has put together an affordable e-commerce package to complement the Drive By Websites' brochure service.

Listed below are three Drive By e-commerce websites we've recently designed and developed at an affordable price:

• http://blinds-payless.co.uk/
• http://hatsonheads.com/
• http://fancyferns.co.uk

You might be interested to know that Magento is Drive By's choice of platform to use for e-commerce website design and development.   There are EIGHT good reasons why:

1. Magento is excellent for search engine optimisation - your products will be found by search engines
2. Upsells, cross-sells and related products can be added easily
3. It's user-friendly
4. Magento is used by top companies such as Nike, Olympus and Lindt
5. You will be able to compete on a level playing field with the nationals.
6. Can be integrated easily with other platforms, for example Amazon and Ebay.
7. Easy integration with social media, blogs and email marketing
8. Your e-commerce store will be viewable on all mobile devices.

I appreciate that, just like me, you are careful with your buying decisions, and we can understand that the cost of an e-commerce website might well have been prohibitive in the past because of the cost - web development companies charge between £4,000 and £5,000 for an e-commerce website.

However, the cost of your online store need NOW no longer be a worry - with prices starting at only £499 plus VAT.

Get rid of any nagging doubts and call us today on 01775 761512 for a free, no obligation, demonstration at Drive By HQ.
