Client's website praised in The Independent


We're proud to say that our client Merchant Gourmet recently featured in The Independent's "50 Best Places to Shop Online"



Since redeveloping and redesigning their website, Merchant Gourmet has seen a fantastic increase in visitors and sales.

This is what The Independent had to say about the website:

"If your recipe demands an unusual ingredient, this is the website to visit. It stocks a vast array of epicurean items, everything from goose-liver mousse to Austrian pumpkin-seed oil. Conversely, if you don't know what to do with these exotic ingredients, there's a host of useful recipes on the site, plus hampers and foodie gifts for the serious indecisive buyer."

Studio 2 Online have recently appointed HeadStorm Marketing to work with the company in promoting and creating exposure for us.

"HeadStorm Marketing are delighted to be working with Studio 2 Online. It is a pleasure to be dealing with such a progressive company. Watch this space for all the exciting things being planned at the minute!"
Allyson Jeffrey, HeadStorm

So keep an eye out for much sought after invitations to our summer events…

Case Study – Taylors Estate Agent

Leicester's biggest estate agent Taylors commissioned Studio 2 to freshen up their existing site, and build a number of bespoke features to work with the estate agencies industry standard system – Vebra.

Studio 2 worked with Taylors' existing identity to produce something that was fresh, attractive but functional for people to easily view properties, or log an interest in selling/letting their own.

"Our new website gives us the look we were after, and the nice easy to use navigation makes it intuitive and we hope a pleasure to use. Knowing the team at Studio 2 Online are on hand to help is a great reassurance and we look forward to developing our online presence further with them."
Brian Taylor, Taylors Estate Agents

Giles on detox

Our MD Giles Button has taken Gillian McKeith’s words of wisdom to heart, and has for the past month been on a full detox.

Things removed from Giles' shopping list for the past four weeks include dairy products, meat, fish, anything nice… and alcohol.

Without the comfort of intoxicating liquor, getting through the day has proven to be the biggest hurdle for Giles, but he has performed admirably.

"This month has been a real eye opener in terms of sacrifice, but it’s been well worth it as I’m bursting with energy and enthusiasm! I’m going to stick to my new bird food diet, but champagne has to make a welcome return I’m afraid…"
Giles Button, at one with the earth

Industry experts at ABC event

Giles has been asked to attend the ABC Training Business Booster seminar, representing Studio 2 as leading commercial website and ecommerce experts.

We were chosen for our proven successes to help those attending the seminars get the best from their websites, and how we help businesses "make sales while they sleep"

Continued development for Merchant Gourmet

Not resting on our laurels, work continues on the Merchant Gourmet site...

Since the redevelopment of their website with us, we have continued to have a close relationship with Merchant Gourmet, further developing their site and producing monthly e-newsletters.

Recently configured for Merchant Gourmet was Index Tools which is a powerful web based application that delivers statistics on visitor information, including detailed data on what route visitors take through the site – and how they are reacting to the checkout process.
