Complete online marketing solutions: Featuring Pets & Produce - Buy Local

Complete online marketing solutions: Featuring Pets & Produce - Buy Local: Drive By Websites has just completed a website for Pets & Produce in Donington, Lincolnshire offering pet food and accessories for dogs,...

Featuring Pets & Produce - Buy Local


When the new owners first moved to Donington there were a good mix of independent local shops which over the years have closed or changed use.  

The shop at 4 High Street had been empty for over a year and the new owners started to think what they could with it. There used to be a pet shop over the road and a greengrocers just around the corner which is now an opticians.  Because many other larger villages in Lincolnshire have a pet shop and greengrocers the decision was made to open one in Donington.

The new owners offer a local friendly service and they're always on hand to deliver and take telephone orders.  To make the buying process easy, they take both debit and credit cards.

Helping Your Business Succeed On The Internet

  Search Engine Keywords


Keywords are the exact words or phrases that browsers on the internet will type into search engines such as Google to find your web pages. The idea is to include your keywords or phrases on every page of your website so that when someone types in that phrase, then your website will be found for those keywords.

As part of our re-branding, we've been busy updating the keywords and descriptions on the Drive By website.  The work we've carried out could take up to 3 months or so to filter through but when it does people searching for, say, "web development company Spalding", we will be found.

Your website should have been designed and implemented to achieve a decent ranking in search engines for the core products and/or services for your business.

HomeworkHere's some homework for you .....


Consider the TEN keywords that people would use on Internet Search Engines (e.g. Google) to find you/your business.  You need to think about what are the words, phrases and locations that visitors to your site will use to find you and your business - we've mentioned here "location" because people often use location either before or after the keywords they are searching for.  Type the keywords into your browser - is your business found?

If your website is not performing as you would expect, I hope this tip will help you do something about it   because you could be losing business, if no-one can find you.

If you need any help, please feel free to give us a call on 01775 761512 or complete the contact us form on our website.

All the very best 'til next time.

Kickstart the new year with a website makeover

A lot has been going on in the Drive By Websites office because we've been very busy with a much-needed website makeover - there's still work to do - but it's coming on and our new website, at long last, now reflects our services - check it out, we do hope you like it - www.drivebywebsites.com
Thomas

During our brainstorming sessions, prior to the makeover, we felt it was important that we got our branding right to convey the message that, although a bit geeky, we're a friendly bunch and approachable.  It's for this reason, we've included our little guy - Thomas - to the team.  We're hopeful that Thomas conveys the fact that, yes, we are a dedicated, professional website development company, but with a bit of humour thrown in.

Have you changed your brand recently or thinking its time for a brand/website makeover.  If so, do you need any help, because we will:
  • Design a logo on your behalf
  • Give your website a makeover
  • Update your social media - Twitter, Facebook, Mailchimp, etc.
  • Update your directories
For more information, please feel free to give us a call on 01775 761512 or complete the contact us form on our website.

We've hit the ground running

We're back from our Christmas break and we've hit the ground running. 

The first website to be created for 2013 is Lincs Garage Door Services.   If you're looking for a new garage door or you have problems with your existing garage door then Robin Hoile is the expert to contact - http://lincsgaragedoorservices.co.uk

This website is a Drive By brochure website - online and open for business in no time at all and the price is affordable at only £299.  Price includes an easy to use content management system - Robin will very easily be able to make his own updates which he is probably doing as I am writing this blog.

Not only did we create and design the website but we also designed the logo.
