Website Design for an Online College Website

This website was designed for an online college selling international GCSE and A-level courses to students in the UK and overseas, including students in Europe and China.

The website was built with WordPress and set up as a multilingual education website using WPML. This allows the school to present content in more than one language from a single WordPress website, which is useful for international student recruitment.

The site includes clear sections for programmes, admissions, course information and online learning. It is aimed at students and parents looking for flexible GCSE, international GCSE, A-level and international A-level study options.

The design needed to feel credible, academic and accessible, while still being simple for international visitors to navigate. The homepage introduces the school, shows key trust signals and gives users clear routes into course information, admissions and application pages.

The website includes course syllabus content, helping students understand what each programme covers before applying. Pages can also be structured around search terms such as international A-levels, online A-level courses, international GCSEs, online GCSE study and recognised exam boards.

For an education website like this, search structure is important. Course pages need clear titles, useful syllabus information, internal links and content that matches what students and parents are actually searching for.

The site also supports online payments using WooCommerce with payment options such as Stripe and PayPal. WooCommerce has official payment integrations for Stripe and PayPal, making it suitable for course deposits, application fees or online course payments.

A college website like this needs more than a simple brochure layout. It needs clear course pages, multilingual content, strong trust signals, online payment options, mobile-friendly layouts and a structure that supports international student enquiries.

Website Design for a French Food WooCommerce Shop

This website was designed for a specialist French food and produce shop selling a wide range of products, including cheese, oils, vinegars, honey, jams, confectionery, saucisson, pâté, terrines, kitchenware and other French delicacies.

The site was built using WordPress and WooCommerce, giving the business a flexible e-commerce platform for managing products, categories, stock, orders and customer payments. WooCommerce is built for WordPress and supports online selling with control over checkout, payments, data and store features.

The shop includes a live product search facility at the top of the page. Customers can start typing and see matching products appear in a live dropdown, helping them find specific items quickly without needing to browse through every category.

The layout includes a clear product category menu on the left-hand side, making it easier for customers to browse different food ranges. Products are grouped into logical categories such as savoury foods, cheese, oils and vinegars, sweet delights, jams and spreads, honey, home and kitchen, and alcohol.

The main shop page displays the latest products in a clean grid layout, with product images, prices and clear add-to-basket buttons. Customers can also use the sorting dropdown to change how products are displayed.

The colour scheme uses red, blue and cream tones to give the website a French feel without simply copying the French flag. This helps the design feel connected to the product range while still keeping the shop clean, warm and easy to use.

The checkout can be set up with payment options such as Stripe and PayPal. WooCommerce provides official Stripe and PayPal payment extensions, and it can also support subscriptions and recurring payment features when required.

The site can also support product bundles and subscriptions, which are useful for food hampers, gift boxes, monthly produce boxes or repeat orders for regular customers.

An e-commerce website like this needs more than just attractive product pages. It needs clear categories, fast product search, simple checkout, mobile-friendly layouts, strong product images, secure payments and a structure that makes it easy for customers to browse, buy and return.

Web Design for a Recruitment Agency Website

This website was designed for a recruitment agency working across the mechanical, electrical, construction and engineering sectors, with a structured job board built around clear sector categories and easy job search.

The website includes job sections for areas such as Civil & Structural Engineering, M&E Contracting, Building Services Design, Project Management & Surveying, Social Housing, FM & Maintenance, Build, Labour & Trades and Residential Development.

Rather than creating too many small categories, the sectors are grouped in a logical way so candidates can find relevant roles quickly and the website can target stronger search terms for SEO.

The job board includes search filters for sector, job location, job type and keyword search. This helps candidates narrow down roles quickly, especially when using the site on mobile. Each job listing includes a clear overview, location, salary, sector, consultant details and the date the job was posted.

For recruitment websites, structured data is important. The job listings can use JobPosting schema, which helps Google understand the role, location, salary, employer, job type and closing or posting dates. When set up properly, this can improve how jobs appear in Google Search and make listings eligible for enhanced job search features.

The website also includes sections for both candidates and clients, giving each audience a clear route through the site. Candidates can upload a CV, submit their details or provide a LinkedIn profile, while employers can learn more about the agency’s recruitment services.

The site is set up for email newsletters, with an option for candidates submitting their CV to subscribe. Job alerts can also be used so candidates receive updates when new roles are added in their chosen sector or location.

The design uses a strong colour-coded structure, with distinct colours for each job category. This makes the website easier to scan and helps users quickly recognise the different sectors. The layout is designed to work clearly across desktop and mobile, which is important for candidates who regularly check new jobs from their phone.

A recruitment agency website like this needs more than a basic brochure design. It needs a searchable job board, clear candidate and client journeys, structured job data, mobile-friendly layouts, fast page speed and a content structure that supports long-term SEO.

Web Design Exeter: Website Design for a Corporate Foreign Exchange Broker

This website was designed for a corporate foreign exchange broker working with businesses and high net worth clients who need to transfer money internationally.

The design needed to feel professional, established and corporate, with a strong orange brand colour, clean layouts and imagery that reflected the type of clients they deal with.

The website includes sections for foreign exchange services such as spot contracts, forward contracts, market orders, exchange rate alerts and an online platform. It also covers payment solutions for businesses, including corporate currency exchange, paying overseas suppliers, paying overseas staff, online sellers and international business payments.

The site also includes FX guides, supported currencies, a live currency converter, client login area and email newsletter sign-up.

For this type of website, trust is very important. Visitors need to understand the services quickly, feel confident in the company and be able to make contact without the site feeling confusing or overloaded.

A corporate website like this needs clear structure, strong calls to action, good page speed, properly sized images and a layout that works well across desktop and mobile.

Web Design in Exeter: This is a news and magazine style website for the watch industry, built around latest releases, brand news, events, retailers, industry jobs and article comments.

The site is designed to handle a large amount of content, with generated blog posts, advertising banner placements, social media follower blocks and sharing features built into the layout.

For a news site like this, performance matters. The build needs properly optimised pages, compressed images, suitable image sizes, caching and hosting set up correctly, so the site can deal with heavy daily traffic without wasting server resources.

On this type of project, we helped reduce hosting costs from around £6,000 per month to around £800 per month by improving performance, reducing data transfer and setting up the site properly for high traffic.
