Stephen O’ Dwyer Builders are a business that produces high quality building work based in Calne. Stephen was doing some work for Marcel Floyd of Floyd’s Climbers and liked what we had done for their website.
They needed a website that they could use to show of their portfolio of building work and to act as an online contact point with a clean design that would separate them from their competitors.
We came up with a unique design built on the WordPress framework that used the news posts and categories to show their building work as a series of case studies with an image gallery.
Case studies are a great way of showing what you do. Often, when you try to write a more formal description of what you do, it can be hard work and the result ends up making you sound like a combination of Miss World and Mary Poppins; in that you *can* do everything and you *like* to be say you are the best.
When you write a case study, you are writing about a real world example in way that is comfortable and easy to do. In effect, you are writing a story about something you have done, which is the sort of thing you talk about anyway, so writing it becomes easy because you are talking about what you know best.
Anyway, Stephen O’Dwyer, who is one of the nicest builders in the world to boot, now has a website that displays his work and what he can do and separates him from his competition.

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.

Marcel and Sara Floyd run a clematis nursery business based at Norrington Plants about half a mile down the road from Godjira Worldwide headquarters. Joe Almond from Norrington Plants is already a happy Godjira customer so when Marcel mentioned he wanted to sell plants on-line Jo pointed him in our direction.
Marcel is a specialist Climber and Clematis grower and wanted to be able to offer the plants on a website that was easy to use, easy to find and performed well in search engines.
We put together a solution based on Zen Cart, the open source e-commerce software. We figured this was going to be a shop first and foremost, so the site must look like a shop and behave like a shop and have all the bells and whistles that go with a shop.
The design needed to be in keeping with his competitors, but we hope we have added the regular Godjira touches that make it bright, clean and easy to use. Of course being Godjira, we went the extra mile with things like dynamic image resizing, search engine friendly URLs, an XML sitemap and publishing the feed out to Froogle (Google’s shop thing)*. We helped Marcel set-up PayPal to take the money and sorted out the shipping rules and helped with the terms and conditions as well, we figure we have done this sort of thing before, so it’s only fair to help.
* if you want to know what this stuff means, give us a call and we will be happy to explain!
As a result, Marcel and Sara have an on-line shop that lets them earn money while they sleep as well as represent their business on the web. Godjira have gained another friendly and happy customer.
