Case Study – Cucina by Design


Cucina by Design is a new company based in Witney who provide stylish and contemporary kitchen and bathroom options, which add value to home and enhance their customers living experience.

During the initial meeting it became clear the owner Keith had a clear vision of what the company was about, but lacked the clout online to show potential customers of what the company could achieve.

We took time to discuss the company’s products and talked about the segmentation of his customer base.

His current stationary was very clear and timeless and he wanted these values translated to the web.

Keith also had a need to have his website visible to local clients using search engines like Google.

Keith also wanted Websites by mark to supply not only the design, but also supply copy, images and the know how to make the site SEO friendly and rank well.

Within a few days we had a visual of the website signed off and a few days later the site was complete.

Using industry standard tools the site was submitted to Google and hours later the first Google search results were available.

In addition Keith took advantage of Websites by Mark unique social marketing service which not only included free entry into www.localspider.co.uk but also active promotion across Facebook, Twitter, Digg and many of the most popular bookmarking and social networking sites.

Website by Mark has also been able to secure first page search engine results on Google for relevant local key search term for the customer.

Working within budget and hitting all Keith’s requirements has meant Cucina by Design has the online edge so often needed in today’s tough business climate.
