Cistercian monks' Jervaulx Abbey website revamped
August 2008 | 09:00 am
After we produced some printed material for Jervaulx Abbey, we were approached to redesign the website of these beautiful 12th century Cistercian monastic ruins in the Yorkshire Dales.
Keen to reflect the unique and special qualities of the Abbey, the new website is in keeping with its peaceful, rural and atmospheric ambience. By using our own photography and writing much of the copy, our design team were able to use their own experiences of the Abbey to create a stunning website.

Wyvill Arms Website Launched
July 2008 | 9:30 am
We've just redesigned the website for the folks at The Wyvill Arms in Leyburn.
The Wyvill Arms has a great reputation for fantastic food and excellent hospitality, so we couldn't resist going over there to take some pictures that really do the place justice.
Using a 'lightbox' photo gallery, we were able to really show off some of the fantastic looking dishes and comfortable accommodation on offer.
Check out the new website design for yourself, but be warned...every time we visit this website we leave feeling very hungry!
Broadfields Cottage Website Launched
July 2008 | 10:00 am
We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses throughout the region and we realise they come in all different shapes and sizes.
Whatever the size of your website, in an age where more and more customers turn to the web to check your business out before giving you a call, a well designed website site can act as an effective introduction to your business, creating that vital positive first impression. This small but beautiful site that we recently designed for Broadfields Cottage is a great example.
One of the best things about websites is their flexibility. We can set your website up so you can easily update the content yourself, any time you like (like updating a menu or keeping your visitors up to date with current news and events). You can also start out as small as you like and, if you decide to add extra pages in the future, you can do it at any time.
If you're looking to revamp you're website, or even if you're venturing into the world of web for the first time, give us a call on 01347 821 928 and see what we have to offer.
