LifeFirst is dedicated to helping people who want to
achieve health, wellness and wholeness through a number
of services and resources. These include life coaching,
nutrition consultations, personal training and more.
They wanted their site to essentially be the start
of their visitors' therapy, by introducing bright colours
and beautiful imagery. We also added in our CMS forum
to encourage visitors to register with the site, and take
part in discussions. As an extension to our service to
LifeFirst, we also created a generic newsletter template,
so they can keep in touch with their customers month by
month, but do so in the same graphic style as the website.
"Just a quick note to
say how delighted we are with our new website. When we
came to Studio 2 Online we had a functional, but basic
site that we had built ourselves. We now have a sophisticated,
professional-looking site that, within a week, is generating
great feedback and more business than our old site! And
it’s all thanks to the team you have at S2O, who
not only produce great work, but are efficient and friendly
too. The ongoing support is excellent and it’s good
to know that S2O can do the whole package, not just design.
We have already recommended you to a number of people
and will continue to recommend your services. We are already
thinking about our next stage of development and will
be talking to you about that very soon.Thanks again."

As e-commerce specialists, Studio 2 are always looking for
new ways to improve our e-commerce systems.
We can now offer our existing clients a new address capture
system for when customers enter billing or shipping addresses
- the customer need only enter their postcode, and our system
will then promptly determine the road, town or city and county
- in fact, the only thing they need do is choose your house number
from the generated list.
This helps speed up checkout for the customer, but also reduces
the chance of an incomplete or incorrect address - saving you
hassle.
If you would like
to find out more about building this into your site, give
us a call on 0116 2425811.

Everyone knows that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is
old hat, right?
More and more people have been turning to Mozilla's Firefox
as it has proved to be a robust browser, with features that IE
can only dream of.
But now little known Opera except for those in the know has made
itself available for the first time for free. Opera includes pop-up
blocking, tabbed browsing, customisable looks and the self proclaimed
"Fastest Browser on Earth".

One of the biggest challenges to webmasters
is to keep customers returning to their site. Whether you
run an e-commerce site or a resources site, you rely on
visitors. Regularly updating your content is always going
to help, and hosting a forum or news section could ensure
people regularly visit. But have you ever considered
employing e-newsletters?
 If
you have built a healthy database of customers who have
registered with your site previously - maybe they've bought
something, or subscribed to a mailing list, then you really
should use this to reach to these people. I know what you're
thinking – "Isn't that spam?" No! These
people have voluntarily contacted you, and knowingly signed
up for something. This means they are genuinely interested
in your company, and would more than likely be happy to
keep updated with the latest offers or info.
Of course, the blatant plug is Studio 2 have experience
of doing this - both for themselves (you're reading it!)
aswell as for many other clients (see the Lifefirst article
above as an example). You can be sure of a professional
and eye-catching design that won't turn people to the delete
button within two seconds of opening - arguably the most
important hurdle to jump.

Smile4You has been operating a successful business
selling advanced teeth whitening kits solely through its
website.
Initially Studio 2 were asked to help with the search
engine promotion of the site, where we successfully helped
raise their visibility in the engines for terms such as
"teeth whitening". As the next step, Smile4You
decided that a complete re-design would further enhance
their site and so asked Studio 2 to redevelop it.
"S2O had been taking
care of our site's search engine promotion for some time
when I approached them about a possible site re-design.
The team came up trumps at the very first attempt with
a fantastic design, which looked clean, fresh and very
professional. The re-design also took into account our
search engine needs, and the site rose in Google as soon
as the new design was visited by the engine. I'm also
sure that the new design will have a significant inpact
on sales"
