aga accessories website The Country Kitchen is an independent, company that produces innovative Aga Accessories and various other kitchen accessories via mail order and online sales.

"I previously had a web site but decided to take things a bit further and progress my business. My main aims were to have a professional feel to the website and increase the traffic flow to my web site; both of these aims have been successfully achieved. The service offered by Bryan (Toucher) was very professional and efficient and can’t be faulted; I particularly appreciated being involved throughout the whole process and my thoughts being listened to and acted upon. “Thank you Bryan” I will be recommending you to others wanting to set up a website.

Regards

Auto Aircon Direct is a mobile car air conditioning service company. They travel to their clients and carry out auto air conditioning recharge and servicing.

"Thank you so much Bryan for the helpful, professional way that my website was designed and was up and running within 10 days as promised. I have had comments from friends who think that it looks great. Due to your comprehensive instructional files I can even log in and make changes to my own website. Not bad for someone who's first communication experience was learning the Morse code in the Royal Signals 46 years ago. If I can do it, anyone can, with your help. Thanks again."

"Hi Bryan, I had over 300 hits on my website today. It's too many, we will have to change the site somehow so that my phone can cool down. Well done! The Aircon business has taken over £10K in the 2 months since the website has been active. I will be asking you to design another site for me in a couple of months in my old industry, the water damaged property sector, so that I can get some work over the winter months. Not too much though please !!!"

Www.Featureworld.co.uk is run by media agent Alison Smith-Squire, who specialises in selling people's real-life stories to national
newspapers and women's magazines. Alison had a website but it was not working for her and it needed to be redesigned and optimised to deliver more business enquiries.

"Dear Bryan,
When I came to you the Featureworld website was poorly designed, dull and hard to navigate so I was pretty desperate! But you redesigned it so it not only has a brighter and fresher look but it's much easier for visitors to navigate. Amazingly, the afternoon you finished doing it,
the website began to climb the rankings for all the main Google searches, such as 'sell my story'. Your service was prompt and thorough. And I will be returning in a few months, as my husband was so impressed he will be asking you to design his website for his
construction business.

Again, many thanks for all your help".

(Qualifier: Alison already had a website and there was an element of luck in her quick ranking improvement. This does not happen with all websites).

The First Permit web site is rich in information for those seeking to apply for UK WORK PERMITS. It was created with this in mind like most of those featured in this web design portfolio, so there was no need for any "flashy" stuff.

Visitors to information based websites tend not to be impressed with this. Generally they just want to be able to find what they are looking for as quickly as possible.

This website was also designed with search engine optimisation in mind to ensure that it delivers targetted traffic.

"Bryan was able to produce a website based on our initial couple of conversations which was not only appropriate for our business but what was exactly what we wanted. His help and knowledge regarding the practical issues of setting up and running a website and the workings of search engines was first rate."

The Vale of Leven LAWN BOWLING CLUB was established in Alexandria, Scotland in 1867.

As a bowler and member of this club building this comprehensive website was a labour of love.

It contains lots of information about the club and lawn bowls in general. Contact me of you need a similar sports club website.

Sports club websites depend very much on staying up to date with events. If required I can provide you with a full website content management system for your club's website. This will allow you to make all the alterations you require yourself keeping your club members up to date with events.

The CAZ Distribution Services company website is a simple online brochure website that is used to illustrate the WHOLESALE SERVICES offered by Caz (Glasgow, Scotland).

Online brochure websites can be used to reduce the costs of hard copy printing through referrals to the website rather than offering printed material. Note that this website has a sound effect playing in the background. This is not something I would normally recommend but in this case it was requested by the client.

"Toucher Web Design helped us through the complicated process of designing our website. They helped us to get the domain name we wanted and even wrote most of the copy for us and all this was done in less than one week at a reasonable price. Good job!"

Happy Ever After is a wedding and event planning service based in Scotland. They needed an attractive site through which they could market their wedding planning service to clients from north America and Australasia who want to get married in Scotland.

"The service I received from Toucher was excellent. My computer skill are fairly basic and my knowledge of the web and web design is limited, Bryan was patient and extremely helpful at all times. My site was fairly complicated and there was a large amount of work required behind the senses to get it ready. Bryan was informative and professional throughout the whole process. I could not have produced it on my own".
