Situation before we started: A small factual website was delivering a steady flow of traffic, but returned no benefit to the company. Our task was to create the maximum possible reach and returns to the company without actually selling products online. So we created a large site for consumers, stockists and media. We built a UK and a USA site, and a CMS for both. The sites "revealed the brand" to show a genuine, honest, fairtrade kind of business. We also had to comply with their 135-page book on web standards. Results: 42% increase in brand awareness, 250% increase in visitors. Just recently we've helped them add an online shop.

Situation before we started: Bath-based 2-man consultancy with a self-built website was getting no enquiries. Our task was to create a professional image, demonstrate the client's capabilities and generate sales leads online. We built an 80-page site, with an emphasis on SEO (search engine optimisation) and a large bank of provocative articles and how-to documents (which users must signup for). The client uses a simple CMS to update the site in-house. Results were a 300% increase in enquiries. Directors Centre asked us to become their sole web partner, and we now work with their clients. We're currently planning their next release too - online advisory products, podcasts and videos.

Professional
I would like to thank PH and PK for the professional manner in which you delivered the two day "Business Plan Rectification" workshop. It was exactly what was needed and was of great value.
As you are aware I have spent a long period of time researching and writing the Lifestyle Vouchers International Business Plan and had been assisted by a number of other Business Advisers along the way. You, however brought with you considerable business experience and have developed the Plan into a document that can be implemented in the real world and one that gives us confidence for the future.
