Dan Haygarth from Fantastic Illuminations had an ageing flash-based website which naturally wasn't performing well on search engines, and was very difficult for him and his team to maintain. Learn more about our Bath, Bradford-on-Avon & Devizes website design service.

Phototropic came up with a new search-engine accessible website for Fantastic Illuminations, and powered it with SetSeed so they could easily control their own content. The website serves two purposes. One is to showcase their extensive events lighting service and the other is to sell products. SetSeed's built-in eCommerce system makes this simple and they have added hundreds of products to their site.

This is what Dan Haygarth from Fantastic Illuminations said about us:

Phototropic (Ben Vallack) demystifies the black magic world of web site design and more importantly for us, the ability to make changes, add pages etc in real time without the need of any third party companies. It is a dream, simple, straight forward and good value. If you need to edit your web site content on a regular basis to keep your site current and fresh I have no hesitation in recommending Phototropic Productions.

New SetSeed powered website design: IPC Exeter

IPC Exeter needed to replace their out of date website with a new, more dynamic website which better reflected their business. Using the vibrant colour scheme from their printed material, Phototropic designed an exciting new website which could be edited in-house using SetSeed.

We developed an interactive system to display information on IPC Exeter's many language courses, and then connected this with a SetSeed contact form to enable their visitors to easily choose and enrol on a specific course. Because SetSeed supported this already, IPC Exeter didn't need to pay for any custom development on the software to enable this feature. What's more, all the content is fully editable within SetSeed so IPC Exeter can maintain their annual list of courses themselves.

This is what Ben Thorne from IPC Exeter said about us:

I wanted to completely overhaul our website and had been mulling this over for too long.

I approached some companies who wanted to know what the turnover of my company was before quoting, which I found odd and inappropriate. Ben Vallack was recommended to me by an excellent graphic designer friend Dan Loveday (Wireeater), and I liked his proposal in terms of cost and concept.

Ben basically built the framework of the site based on my very simple design brief and then trained me to use his excellent Setseed content management system. What I liked so much about Ben's approach was that, in direct contrast to other agencies I had approached, he demystified the whole web design process.

Having provided me with the training and the tools, Ben was then there to respond to all of my questions very promptly and efficiently - for example sending me very straightforward video tutorials to assist me in learning the CMS. Ben provides on-going support because he has confidence in his system and knows that 'on-going support' really means answering the occasional e-mail from me.

After years of agonising over how I wanted my site to look and work, Ben has assisted me in building exactly the site I wanted in a couple of months. I am delighted with the site and would have no hesitation in recommending Ben Vallack and Phototropic to potential clients.

Having been so pleased with a previous website we created for him, Andrew Robinson recommended us to another organisation he is involved with to rebuild the website for Science and Religion Forum. They were struggling to make changes to their site so wanted to move to a SetSeed powered website.

We gave the website's look and feel a complete redesign as part of the project and came up with a powerful yet easy to use light-on-dark interface. This reflects the philosophical nature of the organisation and they were very pleased with the results.

This is what Andrew Robinson from SRForum said about us

Our previous website was dated and creaking. We were looking to update it with a more user-friendly replacement but we needed some continuity with the previous site. Ben had already designed an unrelated site for me, so I had no hesitation in recommending him to the Science and Religion Forum. We were not disappointed. He has designed a vastly improved site, visually attractive and easy to use for visitors and webmaster alike, and he provides excellent technical support. Thanks Ben - great site (again).
