The original site was about 5 years old and because of this used tables to layout the site. It needed an update, if only to make the site standards compliant, but Douglas Watts, the owner, felt that his Google ranking had dropped as a result of the tired design and out of date keywords / content.

The new site was not drastically changed from the original, but certainly brought up-to-date.

We’re pleased to announce that for Douglas’ preferred keywords, his site has jumped from 52nd to 5th place (as of 25th July 2008). An extremely satisfying result.

We stepped in at short notice after their previous designer was unable to complete the work, but according to the bride, Lucy, this cloud had a silver lining.

“I am so pleased with the site and have had so many comments on it. It looks great!”

Well Lucy, if you’re pleased, we’re pleased and we would like to offer our best wishes to you and James for the 30th August.

The site can be viewed at: James and Lucy Wedding Website

The Cat Emporium sell a range of products for cat owners, but they wanted to concentrate on providing quality - both in terms of the products they sell and in customer service - rather than cheap rubbish. This has lead to enchanting selection of gifts for owners, practical supplies for feeding, grooming and hygiene and much more besides. If you love cats, you owe it to them to visit this site.

While we couldn’t find a photograph of an igloo that was good enough to use, we kept to the snow and ice theme throughout the site. Iceburgs are a subtle hint - most peoples behavioural problems have a cause lurking just under the surface.

At a later stage a custom built online booking system will be added, and no doubt the site will expand with additionl information and self-help techniques.

One such example is Craving Chocolate. Charlie Forester of Mind Training asked us to create a singe page advertisement centering on chocolate cravings and why it’s useless to resist them. Instead one should tackle their cravings using Mind Trainings proven techniques that have worked with other addictive behaviours, such as smoking.

Visuals were obviously very important and we managed to find a stock photo of a lovely big chunk of chocolate on a white background. Mmmmmmm….chocolate….

…Then it was simply a case of choosing some complimentary (fairly primary) colours for the text and putting it all together. Ultimately, the site needed to be simple with just some keyword rich text.

If the site is a success, we will produce other mini-sites for problems such as smoking, drug and alcohol addiction, etc.

Eric has a wealth of experience in financial markets, having worked for the Bank of England for many years before starting his business. Currently, he is retained by a number of Japanese banks to assist their Japanese Employees with English in their London offices.

The site contains information about the author, excerpts from the book and a searchable database of English terms that students might find helpful, or to clarify certain points. This database is regularly updated by Eric, thanks to a back-end admin system that we built for him.

Lastly, we made use of Paypals shopping cart to enable Eric to sell his book online. You can view the site at Real English For Japanese Business People
