Chartered Surveyors & Architects celebrate 30 years in business

September 30, 2009

Having achieved 30 years of successful business, both locally and nationally, Wilby & Burnett decided to review and update the company branding. Foremost in the minds of the partners was how to formulate an updated public image whilst remaining true to their existing and very successful branding. This new image was used in everything that meets and greets their clients including evolving the company logo, redesigning the stationery and of course establishing the practice website.

Having chosen Toucan Internet LLP to undertake the project, the logo and stationery design was the first stage. Once concluded the website design was addressed and, in a few “stepping stone” design concepts, a design was conceived that was true to the established branding. This projected the business as a professional, multi-disciplinary practice covering key areas of project management, architecture and surveying.

The website’s prime objective is to be a prestigious reference point to any possible client considering using the services of the practice. Partner Terry Wilby said “We’re very pleased with the published website. It projects well the professionalism of the business with key examples using Flash image sequences whilst showing us as an approachable business with whom most would like to work.”

A new website for a changed market place.

September 23, 2009

This year many of our customers have had great results from their websites as we’ve worked their sites harder for better returns against the back drop of shrinking markets.

For companies looking at innovative marketing methods we have also designed and produced many thousands of CD business cards.

We’ve been so focussed on our customers’ successes that we’ve neglected our own marketing.

Correcting this, we’ve completely reworked our main website to share with you some of the effective new ideas that we’ve adopted this year for giving our clients the edge online over their competition.

Please see http://www.toucanweb.co.uk.

It is more apparent than ever that businesses are turning more to their websites to affordably generate the lion’s share of sales opportunities over past, more traditional methods – a well optimised and managed site does give a strong return on investment.

We’ve also seen customers automate sections of their business by having us write web server based routines to manage work previously done by office personnel, thereby freeing staff for more profitable use of their time.

We are more than just a web design company to our clients – we are a cost effective extension to their business.

When visiting our website at www.toucanweb.co.uk you’ll also have the chance to receive
“Tips and Tricks for online success” for FREE and a chance to win an iPod.

If you have an idea for an online facility and want to sound us out, please call me as we’re always interested in new challenges.

Wishing you continued success,
Simon @ Toucan Internet LLPtoucan-beak-tag-150

Safe as Houses with Absentia

May 16, 2009

visit Absentia's new websiteWhen Moira Hampton JP of Absentia was looking to enhance the business’ website she asked their local IT support company Systematic Business Solutions. Systematic use Toucan Internet LLP for all their website related projects and were swift to recommend Toucan again for Absentia’s website.

Once engaged on the project, Toucan Internet started the website creative design, optimisation and site development to Moira’s brief. As Absentia’s services are geared to providing House and Pet sitting services to clients in the UK and aboard, the site had to emphasise the diligence and honesty of the sitters that their clients expect when putting their pets and property in the care of ‘strangers’. As Moira Hampton, Managing Director of Absentia says “Our aim is for our sitters to be people you can trust, people who you would like to sit for you again in the future. Our sitters are selected for their integrity, competence and reliability.”

Given this background the site had to project this level of professionalism and be of interest to this diverse but select audience whilst maintaining the clear branding that was already in place.

This was achieved and “we are delighted with the finished website and the random selection of quotes and images on every page makes for an interesting visit every time. Well done Toucan”.
