When Nicky and Pip took over the luxury Muddifords Court Country House with it's unique bed and breakfast rooms, they needed to establish a strong web presence and do well on search engines.

Design was important to the client as the website needed to convey the luxury of the rooms and house. The client was thrilled with the contrast, colour and typography that we came up with for the site, as well as the new logo design.

The website is powered by SetSeed to allow full control over the content by Nicky and Pip.

New SetSeed powered website design: OC Robotics

Bristol based snake-arm robots manufacturer OC Robotics wanted to be able to update their website more easily. They also wanted to improve the representation of their brand within their website design. They hired Phototropic to achieve both of these goals and were very pleased with the results.

We worked closely with the team at OC Robotics to establish what they wanted from their new website. It became clear that their homepage would need to include an advanced solution to display their multiple product and service offerings without appearing cluttered. We came up with several interactive 'widgets' to automatically display multiple 'slides' of content consecutively.

So that they could control their own content with ease, we powered the website with our Content Management System (CMS), SetSeed. SetSeed makes it easy for the team at OC Robotics to fully control the content of their new website, even including all of the interactive content within the site.

This is what Jules Foxall from OC Robotics said about us:

Hi Ben,
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done with the website and all the help you’ve given us. You’ve really done a great job. I genuinely think it’s going to make a big difference to how OC Robotics is perceived by potential clients.
The response has been unanimously positive. Seeing it going live is fantastic; Rob and I have been very excited about it.
You must come over to Bristol so I can buy you a drink some time.
Thanks again.
Jules

Ramsay Maunder Associates came to Phototropic to create a new website to replace their dated, hard to control website. SetSeed was the solution they needed to allow fast, reliable changes to be made to their site in-house. Learn more about our Bath, Bradford-on-Avon & Devizes website design service.

Whats more, only a few emails were needed from us before Angus from RMA was fully capable of using SetSeed to control the content on his website. Our comprehensive video instruction library made it easy for Angus to discover just how easy to use SetSeed is.

This is what Angus Ramsay from Ramsay Maunder Associates said about us:

RMA develop and sell specialist software to engineers around the world and a quality website is critical to this activity. We approached Phototropic with the clear objective to develop a high quality company website for which the site content could be managed by RMA.

There were two aspects to this work, firstly the design of the site, how it looks and feels, and secondly the content management system (CMS in the jargon). Working with RMA, Phototropic quickly designed a website template suitable for our needs.

Phototropic’s CMS, which is called SetSeed, was then used by RMA to add content to the site, new articles, new pages etc.

SetSeed, which is developed by Phototropic, is flexible and straight forward to use and enables us to change site content immediately. It also provides access to the so-called Meta Tags used in search engine optimisation, allowing us to select keywords so that our site is easily found by our prospective customers.

During the development of the site and the learning of SetSeed, Ben Vallack of Phototropic has been highly responsive – even to the point of responding directly to email requests for assistance sent out of business hours.

The result is that RMA have obtained precisely what they asked for; a high quality website the content of which can be managed in-house. This was all done on time and in budget and leaves RMA with confidence that their website is in professional hands.
