Launch of Website for Pilates in Leeds

Posted by Roger

Just over a month ago now we launched a new web site for Alison Plant, an experienced Pilates instructor in Leeds. As you would expect, the web site looks great and works well on screens of all sizes, from larger desktop monitors to mobile smartphones.

Alison had never had a web site before and she had some concerns with investing time and money into using the internet to promote her business. However, we were able to create a good looking site that now ranks at number 8 in Google UK for the term 'Pilates Leeds'.

As you will see from the picture, the web site layout consists of 2 columns at most screen sizes but once the screen width drops below a certain point, the layout changes to one column. On these smaller screens, mostly mobile smartphones, the content that was in the second column drops below the main content so nothing is lost or hidden.

In addition to designing and creating the web site for the client, we took over all the business stationery and, in conjunction with the client, we changed the colours of the logo to create a warmer, more welcoming feel. We also dealt with the business card, letterheads, badges, tote bags, flyers etc.

This is what Alison had to say about her experience of working with AttractMore …

I am very pleased indeed with the work that Roger has done for me. In addition to the technology side of things, of which I am completely ignorant, he has been able to help me with the design/aesthetic aspect of the website. So not only does my website work very well, but it looks good too.

At every stage of the development he has been completely reliable, timely and helpful and been very clear on what he needed me to do.

One of my anxieties was regarding Search Engine Optimisation and that has been successful - I am on the first page of the Google search with the obvious key words and these days, this is a real benchmark of success, as well as a weight off my mind!

A website is a big deal and you need a designer that you can trust to do a good job. I would be more than happy to recommend Roger.

This has been another great project to work on and we look forward to seeing the site expand and to hearing about an increasing number of clients for this Pilates instructor in Leeds.

Want to save the planet? Start with your website

The internet uses a huge amount of electricity. Here's what you can do to help reduce that.

The data centres and telecoms networks used by the internet consume a huge amount of power, roughly the equivalent of all the electricity used by the UK. If we thought of the internet as a country, then it would be the 7th largest polluter in the world. Clearly, that's not OK. However, if you have a website, there are actions you can take to reduce the power consumption of the internet. Changing one website isn't going to make an impact, but neither is recycling one plastic bag. The impact becomes significant when we all take action collectively. And the effort involved in reducing the energy used by our sites is small. In this article, I'll talk about a number of ways in which you can make a difference.

SEO or PPC? Which is better for your business?

Pros and cons of SEO and digital advertising (PPC). Make an informed decision about which is best for your business

If you want your business to get noticed in the search engines, there are 2 main approaches. Firstly, SEO (search engine optimisation) which aims to improve the position that pages from your site achieve within the 'organic' or free listings. The other approach is to use a form of digital advertising (called PPC or Pay Per Click) to place ads for your site at the top of the search engine listings. As the name implies, you pay for each click on your ad. Both of these approaches have pros and cons and which one you use will depend on your circumstances (or you may chose to use a combination of both). This article goes into some more detail about the advantages and disadvantages of each approach so you can make an informed decision about which to use.
