South Wales Waterbeds Ltd. - Newport

South Wales Waterbeds Ltd. are the largest supplier of Waterbeds and accessories in the Principality, with a very high level of customer care, which like JCT Designs, requires face-to-face contact. They asked us to produce a brochure web site which was easy for customers to use, explained about waterbeds and showed a selection of the waterbeds available. The main purpose of the site, was as advertising to attract customers into the showroom in Newport, so that Search Engine placement and a well run but inexpensive Adwords type campaign, was vital to achieving this.

Swansea Waterbed Centre - Gorseinon

When South Wales Waterbeds took over their main competitor in South Wales, they turned to us for advice on how the internet could be used to co-ordinate and run two businesses 60 miles apart. In order to keep slight differences in corporate image, we retained the Logos and colour schemes for Swansea Waterbeds, but use the same layout and content for both sites, making them easier to manage. As the customer base for Swansea was over a larger geographic area of West Wales, we are adding a small e-commerce shop to allow customers to order waterbed accessories rather than having to travel 50 miles for a £10 bottle of water conditioner.
In addition, we have set up several internet based systems to allow both offices to run a centralised engineer booking diary, ordering systems and delivery systems. During 2005, we will be running an on-line advertising campaign to promote the new web site. As an added bonus, as the Swansea Showroom is in an Area 1 location, 35% of the development costs were available from Opportunity Wales.

Llanthewy Centre for Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy - Newport

Dr. Plowman is a well established proponent of using hypnosis to help people to control their drinking, stop smoking or reach their true potential in the sport that they pursue, professionally or otherwise. He required a simple site, and, more importantly, excellent search engine placement so that anyone searching for Hypnotherapy in Newport or Psychotherapy in Newport, would always see his web site first.

Homestore - Gorseinon

Homestore is a major furniture outlet on the main A4240 near Gorseinon. Initially, for 2005, Homestore requires a large brochure site to promote their store and an 'item of the month' for each department. A major part of the initial 12 month contract, will be training staff in each department, to allow them to update the site for monthly special items. Opportunity Wales grant received.

Aqua Bathroom Centre Ltd - Newport

Aqua Bathroom Centre is a leading independent Bathroom furniture supplier and fitter. From a simple shower nozzle to a full luxury fitted bathroom, Aqua Bathrooms can supply and fit it all. During 2005, they are having a new web site designed and built by JCT Designs as both a promotional tool and e-commerce shopping site. Due to the high level of competition in this area, a major challenge will be the Search Engine optimisation and running of on-line advertising campaigns.  Newport City Council ICT Grant received.

Celtic Designs Ltd - Newport

Celtic Designs are the leading soft furnishing specialists in SE Wales and Managing Director and interior design guru Stefan Spokes has appointed JCT Designs to manage their on-line business. The site will try to represent, the main retail part of the business, the contract furnishing arm (show homes and hotels) and give a feel for Stefans interior design philosophy. With a lot of the appeal of soft furnishing such as curtains being in both the colours and textures of the materials this will be an interesting project. Newport City Council ICT Grant received.

S.J.Frederick & Son - Essex

The website here is nothing to do with JCT Designs, as they are perfectly happy with their existing web site. What they did ask us to build for them, was a complete Label Anglais chicken ordering and delivery database. You have never tasted chickens like these, even Gordon Ramsey only swears by them not at them, and now the ordering process is nice and easy for them.
