Small Business Success - 17.04.2007

As well as our own successes, we also like to share in the successes of our clients. Two of our local clients commissioned Magic Beans to create them a fantastic new website. Both websites were published early this year and have had remarkable success.

Full Circle requested a website for their business, in offering luxury Yurt holidays within the Lake District. Within their first year of business they had an excellent response, with bookings continuing throughout the summer and advanced bookings in 2008. We made a great effort to push them into Google, giving them an instant response to their website. See their site at www.lake-district-yurts.co.uk.

4 Winds Lakeland Tipis requested us to revamp their current website as a lack of activity was damning their business. We responded quickly, and presented them with a fresh and interesting website which added depth and activity. They were instantly happy with the response to our work. The new website responded better to the Google Search Engines and they saw an instantaneous reflection to the levels of calls they were getting. See their site at www.4windslakelandtipis.co.uk.

Flashtastic - 10.04.2007

See what cool new things we are doing with Flash technology. In the past we have used Flash for basic animations and simple buttons on our web pages. More recently, we have been implementing a greater use of Flash capabilities.

Although we don’t create full Flash sites, because of its inability to integrate with Google Search Spiders, we have been able to introduce miniature Flash elements, harnessing both technologies to create awesome motion and effectiveness in the marketplace.
