Skin type guide

Conscious Skincare new website

Exciting and dynamic UK company ‘Conscious Skincare’ recently launched their newly updated website.

Conscious Skincare new website

Working with Dan and Govi at SCL Internet in Cardigan the project was to take the original website and re-create it in WordPress and Woocommerce. And a fine job it is too.

The entire Conscious Skincare range of products are organic and animal friendly.

The products are made in the UK, mostly in Wales. And mostly from fresh ingredients too. Which makes for a very special combination.

The new website involved a whole team of people working together to produce a really good quality piece of work.

The Conscious Skincare new website is particularly interesting when you hear Rebecca and Quentin’s story. All about how they came to be making organic skin care products.

Skin type guide

Conscious Skincare are thoughtful to give users a skin type guide.

It’s been a privilege to work with them on developing the updated site. Now mobile-friendly, user-friendly, search-engine friendly and rather splendid.

Take a look and see if you can resist trying some body butter or bath soak.

The beautiful website is at conscious-skincare.com.

Dawn to Dusk Enduro new website

Dawn to Dusk Enduro new website

Motorcycle extremes.

Enjoyed working for SCL with the guys at Touratech in Swansea to create the website for the Dawn to Dusk Enduro over the last few weeks.

This has got to be one of the most challenging events in sport. These guys ride their motorbikes over the most difficult track you’ve ever seen. It has to be seen to be believed.

Having grown up in the world of sailing and racing sailing boats I never came across the insane world of motorcycle racing over impossible terrain. Yes I’d seen the Paris to Dakar and have seen the documentary Madness in the Desert but I had no idea that it was happening here in Wales.

The event is in its 14th year so its well established. Riders come from all over the world to take part in the 24 hour marathon endurance race.

There is little doubt you’ve got to be pretty fit and fairly competent to complete the full marathon. There are shorter races though with a junior 2-hour session as well before the main race begins.

Dawn to Dusk Enduro new website is a cracker!

Dawn to Dusk Enduro new website

The site is full of information about the event and links to the registration site as well. There are race videos, photo galleries and a news section, plus results from the past races.

This year’s event is coming up at the end of August so check it out now http://dawntoduskenduro.co.uk/.

The site is built using WordPress publishing system and the Automotive theme.

New website for Project ETaV

Planning your website

Start-out in the right way on the Internet and you’ll achieve success much faster.

Here’s a simple tried and tested step-by-step guide to help you plan your website.

A collection of websites

The Basics

Every website is a combination of:

  • content
  • design
  • technology
  • and (much more subtle) credibility

Balance and synergy of these four elements gives your site a head start on the competition.

Know your Audience

Right from the start think about your visitors, your people, your tribe.

Who are they? Ages? Genders? How are you going to offer them something they want?

Have a Clear Theme

Your website needs to flow from your mission. At least it should have a clear theme or subject.

Be Credible

Most websites (yours included) require certain pages in order to be credible. These pages include:

  • home – a welcome message, introduction, links to products and services, call to action
  • about – aims and mission, history, who’s-who, principles and values statements
  • contact – all the ways your customers can contact you; telephone, email, postal mail
  • terms of use – includes the copyright statements and disclaimers notices
  • privacy policy – a statement about your commitment to keeping personal information confidential.

Of course, the above list does not apply to a one-page CV or PR site.

Your products, services, messages, articles, insights, testimonials, picture galleries, video sections, feedback forms, shopping carts etc. will also need pages too.

Talk to Search Engines

Keep on-topic and make your pages relevant to your main subject. Use deep-links to connect articles and pages together.

Search engines like it if you also have a sitemap and special ‘robots.txt’ file.

Think Community

Over recent years ‘Community‘ has become an increasingly important and relevant factor to consider. Particularly this aspect is covered by having a Facebook and Twitter presence.

Keep it Simple!

Remember to follow the 10 principles of online success. The primary one being, ‘keep it simple‘.

Make a Plan

Plan your content, your messages and how you want your visitors, followers, clients, customers, fans and friends to interact with you.

Keep it Fresh

Keep adding and expanding your offering. Don’t let it become stale.

Think Long-term

Maintain a long-term vision for your website. Allow it to grow for at least five to ten years. Longevity is a powerful influence on credibility.

Keep Focused

Remain confident and determined. Just keep building your website and it will grow and develop it’s own character.

Share the Story

Tell others about your website, your services, your blog, your offers. That way they will know to keep checking the site for new content.

Review Regularly

Regularly review your visitor statistics and the pages they are looking at and using. What number of contacts come via the site? Try to create content to increase the traffic, click-throughs, contacts, sales, newsletter sign-ups, etc.

The above is a quick guide to help you in thinking through your site.

Contact Tusler Design to get your website designed and online working for you.
