Amanda Richards from Young at Heart was one of Godjira’s very first customers when we built a very cool website for her beauty salon in Trowbridge. When she helped set up Young at Heart, we were one of the first people she called to help them with a website.
Young at Heart are an artery scanning and wellness business and they needed a website to be able to help with online marketing and promotion of their clinics, workshops and products.
Amanda is familiar with WordPress and we all felt this was the best way to get an engine under the hood of the website that could feed out to multiple other media, including a Facebook page, Twitter stream, RSS feed and a MailChimp mailing list.
We asked Mark McGuiness from Covert Digital to help with the design on this one and he produced a very clean and classy design that fits in well with the business. We then created a unique custom WordPress template.
The site has features like an Events Calendar and an Online Shop that have both been added as WordPress plugins and integrate seamlessly with the site..
Young at Heart now have an extremely powerful marketing tool for their business as well as clean and professional site.

We have been working with the Dive Zone in Melksham for some time now. We originally stepped in when their previous web company evaporated, leaving them with no website no email and a bit of a mess. We managed to sort them out and get them all back and running and from that took on the maintenance of their website.
When Mark Alexander at the Dive Zone managed to get a contract to sell the premium Kowalski diving torches, we were therefore the first people they called.
They needed a website to sell the torches, which they could update and maintain themselves and yet would be clear and easy to use with a strong design not too far away from their existing corporate image and also using Kowalski branding. Mark supplied the main photograph for the background, which is actually him under the sea using a Kowalski torch.
We asked Gareth Coxon of Dot Design to do the graphic design for this project and he absolutely nailed it! The design is striking clear and easy to use. With this sort of shop the navigation needs to be very clear as with only a few dozen products you need to direct the customer directly to the good stuff.
We used ZenCart as the engine for this one. ZenCart is free and Open Source and also under constant development with lots and lots of useful add-ons which made it a good fit. For instance we can supply a list of products to Google Base, Google’s shop like thingy. The shop is also fed out to Dive Zone’s Facebook page. DiveZone already had a contract with WorldPay, so it was easy to add on the payment module
The result is that DiveZone can now present a unique branded presence for Kowalski in the UK as well as sell products and maintain the shop. We like it a lot.

The Orbit research website came about because of one of John’s past lives as a Project Manager for a medical imaging company. Orbit were part of the team that were responsible for getting medical images from the mobile MRI and CT trucks around Birmingham via satellite to Budapest and then back to Birmingham and Cardiff. Orbit provided the mobile satellite equipment and the satellite infrastructure. John did stuff like crawl around on the back of unfinished MRI trucks with network cables and set up 12 servers in a week as well train Radiologists in Budapest and Birmingham.
Anyway. Orbit wanted a new website and were referred to Godjira from John’s old employer Pukka-j. Gavin at Orbit wanted more than just a website that sat there and was interested in the marketing methodology that goes with a news driven site.
We have provided Orbit with a WordPress driven site that lets them edit and add as much content as they want. We also split their main product offerings down to three target areas presented on the front splash screen with a bit of funky JavaScript driven image swapping.
Being WordPress, the site is Google focussed and does clever stuff like feed an RSS feed out to populate a Facebook fanpage. We also included the LiveZilla live support software, so now if you want to know anything about Satellite Internet solutions, you can chat live with a genuine bona fide expert in Gavin Foster. We also set up a mailing list based on the RSS feed using FeedBurner.
We really liked working with Orbit. Gavin has some great expressions for common computer issues. Such as user error being “Finger Trouble” and VOIP phones being “scramblers”. We hope to continue the relationship and look forward to helping Orbit with their online marketing for years to come.

Every website design agency has a portfolio page. We want to make ours a little different by telling you a little story about each customer in terms of what we are asked to do, what we actually did and how we added value and over-performed for each customer.
Of course we are going to include some screenshots, but it’s people and stories that are interesting so we want to tell you about those.
Watch this space as we add more and more of our customer portfolio.
