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.

Case Study – Carterton Community Centre

The Carterton Community Centre is a local meeting place for the residents of the Shilton Park development in Carterton. To coincide with its completion in 2008 an initial website was commissioned as a central focus for the centre online.

With the website out of step with the centre, prompted its management team to look for a new solution. By visually updating the feel and redeveloping the site as a CMS, has meant real freedom for the centre in terms of where they can take the website online.
