Engage Web

A bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone, right? 🎳

Yesterday, the Engage Web team headed to Spinners Chester for a brilliant team building day packed with bowling, darts, interactive clay shooting, pizza, a little bit of Prosecco and even a shot of baby Guinness (or two) 🍕🥂

We also had a brilliant surprise when John, our former Content Team Leader who now works in the world of mental health, joined us. It was lovely to see him again and it definitely made the day feel even more special.

The official winners are still very much up for debate (depending on who you ask), but one thing we can all agree on is that the team had a fantastic time. Great games, plenty of laughs and a proper chance to switch off together outside the office - exactly what a team day should be! Be honest, are you the competitive one on team days or the one just there for the pizza? Let us know in the comments!

Have you ever updated your website and then spent the next few days constantly checking Google to see if anything's changed?

You're not alone! One of the most common questions we get asked is:

"How long does it take Google to notice the changes I've made to my website?"

It’s Top Tip Thursday, and we’re here with the answer - which might surprise you!

In some cases, Google can pick up changes quickly - but in others, it can take longer than business owners expect. Knowing the difference could save you a lot of frustration and help you focus on the right things instead of constantly refreshing search results.

We've put together a simple guide explaining what affects how quickly Google notices website changes, what timelines are realistic and what you can do to help move things along (after all, you’re not powerless to the gods at Google). You can read the full guide by checking out the link in the comments.

Going up! A brand new home for Stairways To Heaven

We’re excited to share the new website for Tony Stapleton and his brilliant business. His craftsmanship, attention to detail and eye for design can completely transform the feel of a home, and that's now just what his website reflects.

Given that his work is so impressive, the new site needed to do more than simply show a few photos - it needed to help visitors explore the different staircase styles properly, understand what might suit their own space and feel inspired by the huge range of beautiful projects Stairways To Heaven has already created 🏡

The new website now gives each style the space it deserves, with dedicated pages and plenty of project photography showing how different staircase designs look in real homes. The clean black-and-white style keeps the focus exactly where it should be - on the stunning staircases themselves - while darker sections help guide attention to key moments across the site.

Photography is at the heart of everything, with galleries throughout the site showcasing different materials, settings and finishes. The result is a website that feels polished, practical and full of inspiration - just like the work Stairways To Heaven delivers every day: https://stairways2heaven.com/
