Juno has a great relationship with Graham and Green and finished a campaign to improve the sites look and capabilities, enabling consumers to browse and shop with ease.

Not only that, Juno have focused heavily on SEO so that Graham and Green rank well when customers search for anything that is home furnishings related. Graham and Green offer stunning furniture and soft furnishings for the home and office and have become a popular company, not just with customers and press, but take a look at social media and someone is always talking about their wants and desires from this beautiful shop.

By creating a more functional websites, clients are able to expand their brands and service clients, who may not have previously the capabilities to purchase.

Juno Web Design uses Magento as the main frame for both sites, which is an incredibly powerful system. Modules are integrated, such as Cybertill, which enable payments to be taken in a range of forms and rather than disrupting business, Magento slides into place with other systems, to create a super, seamless, automated system.

Folk Clothing was our other big focus last week and a development only project, in which Juno improved the back end of the site, re structuring and upgrading the e commerce element of the site. Based in London, Folk offers a range of clothing and brands to the stylish man or woman about town. We improved SEO and the functionality of the site, once again making shopping a total joy for customers.

We enjoy a challenge. Graham and Green and Folk Clothing were grand projects and took much time, preparation and focus on detail, to launch in a way that doesn’t interrupt business and is a seamless changeover. That said, everything went well and we sit and watch as the results of well constructed, SEO rich and incredible sites, bring in those customers wanting to spend their money.

Much of the work has been back-end development, but as always design is key to the look and feel of the sites. Once the sites are up and running we can tell you more about the work we completed for these big London brands.

Today we’ve had the pleasure of a client traveling to Nottingham for a design day. We enjoy these type of days, we can really get under the skin of the clients and see what they want. They can also learn about the processes we use and understand how users consume sites in terms of design. It’s a learning curve for all and at the end of the day both team and clients learn a lot about what we as consumers like and how clients as retailers want to be perceived.

We’re always providing an “after sales service” with all of our clients, ensuring the site is still looking great, changing areas to incorporate special offers of seasonal design.

Natura Skin Clinic is one of our many clients that we check on a regular basis and work behind the scenes of the Front end design, making sure they are doing well in search engines.

Design, as you can imagine, is a constant process which develops from a range of original ideas but with a personal take on the process.

It is great to see a starting point, ending point and the journey in between.

Have a great weekend

Over a third regularly shop on the web. Strangely, those aged 25-34 are least likely to shop online with 13% stating that they never use the Internet to purchase goods. Quite surprising, as this age group tends to be the target for many brands, as they have more disposable income.

Brits tend to shop online for an average of 2.4 hours a week, rather than 1.2 hours on the high street. Despite the increased time spent on the internet, the average spend is a little lower than on the high street. Men seem to be the biggest online spenders. These trends seem to skew the traditional way in which advertisers thought people spent. Traditionally, it would tend to be the females as the decision makers, when it came to big purchases and they would be the main people purchasing food and fashion, but thanks to the introduction of e commerce, things have changed greatly.

So, what drives people to spend and what attracts customers?

Generally, users like a great looking website that is simple to use, enabling them to find what they need quickly with minimum effort. People are frustrated with having to register or sign up to a site and will research the cheapest price or the best deal before they set about their purchase.

This is from the perspective of the user, behind the scenes, web developers use a range of systems to create seamless e commerce stores. One of the systems used is Magento, an incredibly powerful product which can integrate with existing ERP and EPO systems. Magento is flexible and can be changed simply to reflect the needs of the client and the customer.

Another trick to help attract customers and drive sales, is SEO. Using keywords and phrases that users will search for, boosts company rankings in search engines, if you are on page one, you are more likely to get a hit and a purchase.

First impressions are important, if your website design is top notch and your site is simple to use, it is a real winner, in the eyes of customers, whether they are 17 or 70.

Hancocks is the UK’s leading wholesaler of confectionery- SWEETS! Hancocks was established back in 1962. Ray Hancock and his wife Liz started wholesaling confectionery from their sweet shop in Shepshed near Loughborough, Leicestershire.  Their aim was to supplier local retailers and profit from purchasing sugary goods in bulk. The business as grown and moved from strength to strength with the introduction of the Internet and selling online. Now with Juno Web Design, we’re taking the next step to make purchasing smoother, optimize the site using product descriptions and SEO.

We plan to tidy things up, re-name pages to make sure they show up in search results and ultimately use Magento, which Hancocks already employ, to make an incredible e commerce store, that will knock other confectionery Wholesalers out of the water! There will be a new design, a new look and the meta data will be cleaned up. But you will still receive the best products and service from a time honoured local supplier of lovely sugary confectionery.

We’re also hoping we may get a few packets of Milk Bottles and Fried Eggs in with the bargain!

Not only are we doing all of this, we will be installing a blog so customers can have regular updates about stock and all things sweet, it also helps the site gain rankings. So we’re primed, ready and waiting, the team have their instructions and on the other side we will have created a store that provides better functionality and a better customer experience.

The only thing we’re worried about now is keeping our sweet tooth cravings under complete control!

If you need anything, most users go straight to eBay, not only does it present us with an array of used items from sellers, but shops which are selling new, high tech, and incredibly popular items. Not only did eBay provide an array of bidding formats, it rocketed online payment company Pay Pal into the spotlight, with a range of categories that could only be paid for using Pay Pal. People in their droves signed up to the auction site and payment site to be able to bid on items they always wanted but could not get their hands on or afford at the time.

Ebay has grown and become a force to be reckoned with, acquiring companies worldwide to strengthen their areas of expertise such as fashion.

In recent news its consumers that are driving the change in the way we shop and purchase, especially with sites such as Ebay. The evolution of E- commerce makes savvy shoppers explore their options. Ebay released an app, which allowed customers to find their dream coat, they could see one in a shop or a magazine, take a picture and submit it, then the app would scour sites such as Ebay to find a match that would possibly be a much lower price.

The experience of physically nipping to the shops has hardly changed, whereas online shopping has become more of an experience, and at some point, even if we do go to the department store, we will possibly go online to research what we’re looking for.

John Donahoe, CEO of Ebay had this to say “In over half of all retail transactions today, the consumer accesses the web at some point in the shopping cycle — product research, find what they want, to buy it or pay for it. Increasingly, they are accessing the web while they are at the store.”

Donahoe hopes to provide a ecommerce shopping experience that is simple, quick and leaves customers feeling happy, moving with modern technology and online innovation.

This project included creating a visually pleasing site that was simple to use and tied in with the existing stock and products My Wrestling Room had to sell. To produce an incredible web store, Juno used Magento, the tool of the gods when it comes to e commerce. Magento allowed us to link into any existing systems My Wrestling Room held. Its allows customers to purchase quickly and simply and it allows companies to see the amount of stock, the activity online, and the whole system is automated.

So we have the new site, we have the e commerce aspect, now we need to get My Wrestling Room high up in Google, how do we do that? With fresh, unique content. The content for the whole site was re written to include key words and hyperlinks.

Main categories were picked including Wrestling Shoes, Wrestling Singlets, Wrestling Equipment and used as key words for search terms. Juno implemented a blog, which is produced daily and again includes key words and links to main products on the main website at My Wrestling Room. This again helps the process of the rise to fame on Google and the race for the top spot.

Type in Wrestling Shoes or Wrestling Singlets to Google and you will see that My Wrestling Room is holding the top spot, which is a great achievement and total buzz for the team at Juno Web Design. We aim to produce incredible websites and raise companies to the top spots, meaning more visits to the website, and more purchases.

By preparing, planning and adhering to documents, quality can be managed throughout the whole process, and documents can be called upon to discuss plans, make any changes, and to back up agreements on the building process.

The amount of documents, which are an integral part of the construction process, are ever increasing. Those documents need to be stored easily and called up at a moment’s notice.

There are a range of Quality Management Software programmes available on the market, which can be installed into construction businesses to allow the safe storage of documents.

Workspace is one system which is used by over 3000 construction professionals across the UK. It is an incredible system and the storage of documents is the core of this programme. There are elements of the programme such as the corporate database, and project accounting, which fully integrates every element. If you have a client, have documents related to their project, and have a budget in which you want to see how much has been spent, you can call all of those elements up at any point.

Workspace is an automated system so if you file a document under a client it will recognise this and make any updates or changes to the client’s project. Workspace records any revisions, readings, issues or emailing of the documents, which are all controlled. This means that your documents are never lost or duplicated, and provide a high level of quality control to your company.
