Your Project

Website

Visions propose to design and create an engaging website that will immerse users into the Tooling & Equipment UK journey, provoking e-commerce conversions and developing customer loyalty.

We will create logo and branding to provide continuity throughout all platforms. There will be 3 main sections to the website ‘Hire’, ‘New’, ‘Used’ where users are able to browse a selection of products from suppliers in their location.

We will require content and images from Tooling & Equipment UK at initial design stage.

Marketing

We offer a number of different methods for digital marketing to ensure monetisation of your project.

From our initial meetings, we would advise beginning with PPC or SEO which means we will create campaigns based on products and locations to generate traffic to the website, as mentioned we would advise focusing on an initial area).

Achieving Great Things For Your Brand

At Visions, we understand that branding isn’t just about choosing a logo or colour scheme, it is about developing your marketing tactics across all platforms in order to create lasting value.

Our Platform

The technology you use (open source or SaaS)

We will be building your new website on a platform used widely in our industry called WordPress. We buildnearly 80% of our websites using this platform and here are a few reasons why;

1. Ease of Use

WordPress is very easy to use and has an intuitive interface for administrators. Adding new pages, blog posts, images and other elements on a regular basis can be done both easily and quickly.

2. Manage Your Website from Any Computer

The WordPress admin system is browser-based meaning that you can log in from any Internet connected computer and manage your site.

3. No HTML Editing or FTP Software Required

WordPress is a self-contained system and does not require HTML editing software. You can create a new page or blog post, format text, upload images (and edit them), upload documents, video files, image galleries, etc. all without the need for additional HTML or FTP software.

4. Search Engines Love WordPress

The code behind WordPress is very clean and simple, making it easy for search engines to read and index a site’s content. In addition, each page, post, and image can have its own meta tag keywords, description, and title, and be optimized for specific keywords, allowing for very precise search engine optimisation.

5. You Have Control of Your Site

This means you could even make small changes yourself if you so wish. With WordPress, you have control of nearly every aspect of your site and can easily make those simple updates yourself. Your Questions

6. The Design is 100% Customizable

WordPress acts as the engine for your website. The look and feel of the site can be 100% customised so your brand can shine through on your site and provide a unique experience to your visitors.

7. A Blog is Built-in and Ready to Go

WordPress was originally created as a blogging platform, so news/blog are built-in and are easy to integrate.

8. Extra Functionality with Plugins

Makes it easy to add an event calendar, video gallery, Twitter Feed, Facebook, and more to your site.

9. Your Site Can Grow as Your Business Grows

WordPress sites are very scalable. You can have hundreds of thousands of pages or blog posts on your site and the performance of the site will not be compromised in the least.

10. Have Multiple Users

As an administrator of a WordPress site, you can set-up multiple users for the website and assign access levels and capabilities to each user.

SEO

Content is King.

“If you’re not putting out relevant content in relevant places, you don’t exist.”
– Gary Vaynerchuk

“67k searches are performed on Google every second.”

“93% of all online experiences begin with a search engine.”

Don’t forget that it is common for a customer to see your website or your social media before encountering any other part of your business so it’s important to keep it brimming with fresh content. Updating your social media accounts every time a blog is posted means that lots more people are exposed to your content.

Generates new leads and sales

Fresh content generates leads and sales! High quality content stands out in a crowded market, allowing you to become the best of the best and increases your sales as more and more customers discover your brand and what you stand for. Good content stands out more to consumers than competitors who constantly force sales posts upon them. Fresh content that is high quality subliminally advertises you to consumers but in an honest and worthwhile way, they see you as being experts in your field and when the time comes that they need your product or services they come to you!

Adds value to your product/service

Any content that adds value to your customers or potential customers is a good thing. Most people ignore sales posts on social media; so insights, tips and tricks are always a great way to inform and engage with people all while building your brand image. Content that adds value to consumers, be it by educating them on the relevant topics in your industry or on the product or service you offer is ideal for adding value.

Increases traffic

As mentioned above; high quality content helps your SEO, online presence and brand/ customer relations but it is also a great way to increase traffic to your website. A website with limited content that was added the day the website went live and hasn’t been updated since will have a high bounce rate (The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page), a low amount of returning traffic and very little engagement. However, a website with fresh, up to date and meaningful content will have a lower bounce rate, a higher number of returning site visitors and a higher rate of engagement.

Process and Timescales

The timescale for a site of this nature can take anywhere in the region of 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the turnaround time regarding review and feedback. We can work to more specific timings within reason.

1. Kick off Meeting

A kick off meeting to get to grips with the project and ensure full understanding of all requirements will be scheduled. From here a creative brief will be developed internally and sent to the design team.

2.Website Content

We will require skeleton content at this point, if not all. It is ideal for us to have an idea of what content will be involved throughout, in order to give us a steer on the development of design.

3.Design

Initial creatives will be developed and will be sent through for review before a full wireframe design roll out is created and signed off.

4.Build

Once the design has been signed off we will begin the development of the site. Once complete we will review and test internally, before sending over for full review.

5.Go Live

When everyone is happy and the site has been signed off, we will then schedule to go live. We have a dedicated go live checklist to ensure all boxes are ticked and no links are left unclicked! Once live, we will be on hand for any support in the event of any technical problems.

Branding

Your brand is where it all starts.

Every successful brand needs to be responsive. The user journey at every stage should reflect the brand from the visual through to the textural. The core values should resonate at any point during a customer’s journey no matter what medium they are using.

When designing the logo we ask ourselves lots of questions. If you want to buy something off the shelf that potentially looks like lots of other businesses then you get what you pay for.

A logo should be built to last. You should invest time, energy and effort in getting this executed in the best way possible, to reflect the business. It has to be responsive and versatile so it scales across various platforms but still looks great and readable. It needs to have clean and proportional lines.
