Big brand site re-launch
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on February, 6th 2012As we mentioned last week, the team at Juno Web Design has been working tirelessly to re launch sites with improved functionality.
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.

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.

Posted by Dave Wiltshire on January, 30th 2012In recent news, Silver Surfers are the biggest group to shop online by a whopping 86%.
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 ... (Read more)
