If you are a Plumber looking to get a website designed and built, Thisworks are your answer.

We have designed and built several very successful websites for Plumbing companies. These Plumbers websites are bespoke, with excellent search engine optimization built in as standard, and all enjoy high ranking on Google for typical Plumbers traget keywords such as ‘Plumbers’ ‘Emergency Plumber’ ’24 hour Plumber’ and so on.

Please contact us for a no obligation chat if you are a Plumber seeking a website design, or maybe you already have a site but it is old, tired or just plain no good!

Holly Oak Tree Services approached us to look at re-designing and rebuilding their current website.

The website redesign has now been completed and the client is thrilled with the result.

We have ensured any previous rankings and indexation on Google are maintained, by careful use of 301 re-directs.

The site now has a far wider scope, covers more sides of their business, and is far better set up for search engine optimization. Thisworks are also Hosting and managing the new site, and will carry out all updates and maintenance.

We are now using Free Index to get clients feedback, which is independently verified, and we think therefore more credible.

We’ve been using it for about 3 months now, and so far we have 17 reviews on their website. The good thing is that they provide a widget which means we can integrate their page into our website, and show potential new customers our independent reviews this way.

For ‘Web Designers’ we are now ranked 27 out of a total of 5,498 website design companies in the UK.

We are fairly pleased about that.

We have just launched a new website for CHESHIRE FARM MACHINERY, who are based, unsurprisingly enough in Cheshire, near Higher Whitley, Warrington

The website is a fully functional data base driven site with a client side admin panel where they can upload and edit products.

Andy Dutton and Stephen Sykes, the partners, are two of the nicest guys you could meet and we wish them every success with their new business.

We have just launched the revised website for SGM Plumbing, based in Leeds, Yorkshire.

SGM Plumbing approached THISWORKS originally to get their BT Phone Book adverts designed, as they were unhappy with the bland designs provided inhouse by BT. (see post below for more details on the outcome)

After discussion, it emerged that SGM were thinking of migrating some of their (consirable) spend in traditional directory media towards the internet.

They had a very poor website, which had never been developed or had any SEO applied in a proper way.

I have to laugh when I read these so called ‘expert ways’ and ’secrets’ of getting links.

Here is the reality.

You spend hours, and I mean many hours, hard labour trying to identify the competitor links who ranks highest [or higher than you anyway] and then the fun begins.

You now have to find out HOW the links were placed…were they reciprocal, were they via do follow comments or forum postings, were they via article submissions, and so on and so on.

This again takes AGES to sift through, because EACH LINK has to be investigated individually.

We have just completed a series of advert designs for a large Plumbing and Drainage company in Leeds.

They approached us after finding us on Google, and comissioned us to do 4 adverts to begin with. They wanted a Full Page advert, split into 3 separate ads, to make it look like three different companies are advertising. We have used this concept previously and it does work very well in the Yellow Pages, BT Phone Book and the Thomson Local directories.

The client really liked the design and has now commissioned a further 12 adverts for other directory areas.

We just completed this small job for a Manchester based satellite and TV aerial company.

They want 10,000 quantity, on a good quality card.

They asked us to get them a quote from Vistaprint’, as they believed they offered competitive prices, so we did that, and also provide a quote using our print supplier.

This was the comparison…

VISTAPRINT

10,000 Postcards – 280gsm   |    £383.48 +VAT (plus Uploaded logo/photo/design £2.24) (plus 280 g/m2 Recycled Matt Paper £5.99)  TOTAL = £391.23 +VAT

Vistaprint delivery…see below. (their CHEAPEST delivery is £32.17 +VAT…and takes 21 days!!!)

Why choose to bang your head against the wall with your website promotion, SEO?

We get many enquiries from businesses who approach us asking if we can get their website to perform better on Google’s natural listings.

However, so often when we analyse their website, its architecture, content and navigation, it becomes apparent that from a website promotion, SEO perspective, the site has been almost dead from birth due to the fact they are trying to compete in niches where the key phrases they are targeting are just too competitive.
