Sussex Sash is an Island based company that specialises in the repair, restoration and replacement of traditional joinery sliding sash windows,

The owner, Darren, got in touch because he felt he was not getting enough enquiries through his website, and he had some concerns about emails getting lost.

So, we did a Local SEO Audit of the business and certainly found some issues we could improve on. And as part of the whole project, we took control of his domains and set up a robust email hosting service.

Please see our full blog article on what we did for Sussex Sash and how we solved muliple issues, improved his online visibility and streamlined his systems as far as client communication was concerned

Jeelek is the electrical contractor and project management firm owned by Keith Coleman.

Keith came to us with a logo and a very clear idea of what he wanted to show on his website. After we sent his logo to the graphics team to be re-drawn and vectorised, IWD did all the research and wrote most of the content. 

We transferred his domain away from a less desirabke ISP and set up his email hosting. We cajoled Facebook into giving us back control of his business page, which we then optimised, while also creating his Google Business Platform.

Keith sends us periodic updates so that we can keep the content on the site fresh and do some updates on GBP and Facebook.

This website was part of a bigger project that saw Island Web Design collaborate with Tex Solutions to create the Pathway Managament Software, as well delivering initial training, video tutorials and on-going support.

Having designed and managed the site fir the suster-academy, St Francis in Ventnor, Island Web Design was now invited to build a site for this wonderful primary acadmey in Shanklin.

Having battled unsuccessfully with Etsy for many weeks after their online shop was shut for no reason, the owners of Bees Little Shop decided it was time for their own website and E-commerce platform.
