Your Mortgage Shop are a financial company based in Nottingham, specialising in mortgages and home insurance. For Your Mortgage Shop, we created a new company brand and a new polished website design. The brand includes a simple, colourful and pleasant logo using blue and violet colours, which have been incorporated into the site design. The site was built to be approachable, clear and concise, and features an easy to use and in-depth mortgage calculator.

The new branding maintains a balance of professionalism and friendliness, the hues selected from corporate blues, sky blues and peaceful violets. The website continues this design by providing information in a clear format with soft edges and colours. Large attractive call to action buttons are at the forefront of the design, advertising features of the website to users.

Information is an important part of the website, so every attempt at improving the clarity of the information given to the user has been taken. The site features javascript pop-up panels, bringing information to the front of the page. The Your Mortgage Shop website also features an in-depth mortgage calculator, which using information given by the user can give a good estimate to the payment on a mortgage. There are many other forms the site features including mortgage request forms, enquiry forms and insurance application forms.

“As an IT solutions company ourselves, we required a website that portrays our professional, friendly approach in a clear and concise way. Kaweb delivered exactly what we asked for, and more besides. Nothing was too much trouble, including the creative process to get the overall appearance as desired. I would thoroughly recommend the Kaweb team if you’re serious about getting a first class website..”

Loveitts are a multi-discipline agency, with a great history, covering Coventry, Leamington Spa and Southam.

With a previous site that did not really cover their broad range of skills very well and under-performed in lead generation, it was our job to ensure to ensure the brand was maintained and introduce a simple user-journey to each of the disciplines whilst maintaining all the information necessary for the end-user to make that call (or viewing request!).

Multiple search results views give the user options on how they wanted the properties displayed, and a prominent tool bar on the properties details page highlighted tools at their disposal at property level.

With best-practice SEO (search engine optimisation) coding conventions deployed across the site and Google Analytics goals implemented, real time stats can be analysed as to user behaviour and the number of leads generated.

We’re chuffed to bits that the site has doubled it’s traffic within two months of launch, and by all accounts has helped increased the amount of business throughput to Loveitts.

John Pugh, Director

I am just emailing to express my thanks on behalf of Loveitts for the fantastic job which you and your team have done for us in revamping our very old and tired website. Indeed it’s not overstating the situation to say that the website you’ve designed for us has effectively brought this part of our business into the 21st Century by providing us with a bright, new, easily updated and continuously fresh, user friendly marketing tool which effectively promotes the many varied elements of our practice.

Moreover it is clear from the stats available to us that our new look www.loveitts.co.uk website has already generated significantly increased website traffic for us together with considerable potential new business in terms of valuation appraisals for residential and commercial property and also opportunities in other areas including surveys, rent review and lease renewals and leasehold reform work.

Based in Leeds, Stoneacre Properties estate agents asked us to update their website to a more modern design. The final product is a true example of how an estate agent site can include beautiful design and user interface. A strong colour scheme based around their company branding was used to create a tidy, easy to use site with sharp visuals and smooth animated effects.

Stoneacre Properties includes many new features, including commercial lets and commercial sales searches, a revolutionary new alerts system with multiple search criteria, and a new emailing system with focus on better communication and design. With commercial properties as part of the property search, the Stoneacre Properties site has deeper and more varied search options, allowing users more granularity when searching for their perfect property.

Stoneacre Properties showcases full social integration with Facebook and Twitter and like our other estate agents sites, Stoneacre Properties utilises Mappr, our property mapping library and Agent Admin, our estate agent admin area, which gives full control over properties displayed on the site.

Ben Jacobs, Director

We found Paul and the Kaweb team after researching the website development market in detail. I knew after initially speaking to Paul that our company was in good hands. The little things like returning an email and actually taking a pride in their work meant a lot to us. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul and the Kaweb team to anyone looking to get a website from a team who in my opinion are one of the best out there.

Purely Shutters are a shutter company in the midlands who requested a brochure site to showcase a large selection of custom made high quality wooden shutters. Developed with plans to expand into a full e-commerce site, the site features contact and quotation tools, including a shutter designer and quote page. We put focus on key calls to action, search-engine optimisation and clean, tidy design to encourage users to explore the site.

The new company branding of Purely Shutters featured a bright and exuberant magenta logo placed alongside a strong typeface. The magenta of the logo was applied into the web design in a minimalist fashion, allowing the site to maintain a bright and easy to use design while in keeping with the new brand.

The Purely Shutters site contains dynamic elements such as the shutter creation tool, allowing users to select from several styles, sizes and colours of shutter, and compose them into an email to save, or into an accurate quote. The tool empowers any user with the creative control to customise and build their perfect shutter and receive an accurate quote for the exact measurements they need. Using our custom Kakart software, there is an admin area where shutter types can be modified, changed and added.

A strong focus was put onto Google goals and AdWords, used in tracking new visitors and displaying localised introductions to the sire, and ensuring that purely shutters remains high on google search results.

Kirsty Jones, Director

We came to Kaweb with an existing website which was adequate but in need of a fresh approach and new content. Kaweb understood the dynamics of our business with lightening speed and challenged us to think differently about our brand. The creative concepts they presented were refreshing and forward thinking. The navigational infrastructure for site content was simply brilliant and gave us a website which, without doubt, is market leading in our industry. The resultant increase in our turnover speaks for itself.

Kaweb are an energetic and talented team and led by management with clear vision and creative ideas. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any business.

The first stage required for the development of the new Nicholas Humphreys website was to design a new logo. With their existing branding colours well known – it was important these were retained, and that the new logo helped evoke the friendly ethos behind the company. After several versions of logo were worked up, one was chosen that was to be used on the site (and that we also helped apply across all their other marketing collateral which included signboards, branch signage, stationery and general advertising).

The website/domains needed a complete overhaul. Their previous online marketing activity was split across different domains which meant a somewhat disparate offering. We set to work on centralising all their disciplines (residential sales, residential lettings, professional sales and student lettings) under one domain with key section headers. This also meant the integration of property data form their sister company (Barkers, Leicester), for which we are now developing a separate site for (using the same format).

Property data comes in by way of separate feeds from Vebra and CFP Winman, to which we added our own graphical flags so as to highlight various aspects of each property (eg. Featured status, Display Address management and Feature Tags).

In terms of search engine optimisation, this really needed sorting as their previous site did nothing for their web ‘footprint’. We ensured all SEO best-practice coding conventions were adopted and the usual feeds/tools used so as to elevate their general ranking status [in Google]. Since launch, this has meant that their bounce rate is down (by 30%) and overall visits have more than doubled.

Other features include Google Earth/Maps results, dynamic PDF downloads, configurable print options, a secure online payment page (which allows their cleints to pay late rent fees, application fees etc.) and social networking integration (which we setup for them) to attract a larger student user base.

Finally, we  deployed Google Goals so that NJH management could track the leads (viewing requests, send to a friend, general enquiries etc.) generated from the site each month (on a per branch basis).

James Bailey

We have been very pleased with our website from Kaweb. We were particularly impressed with their willingness and ability to provide constructive advice on ways to enhance our ideas. The business has certainly shown positive signs of growth in the months since we have gone live due to increased leads that can be directly attributed to the new site.

These guys wanted something different. It had to be fairly contemporary and yet ensure long-standing branding (built up over a number of years/mergers/domains) did not go awry. Working with a third party marketing consultant, this was achieved though a large logo, strong use of the corporate colour and then some brighter illustrative imagery that gave it a modern twist. The home page is certainly different – boldly honing the options for the user through definitive user journeys that will be the most widely used (ie. sales, lettings, contact).

Being multi-disciplined and having more than one branch, it’s no surprise that the site makes use of feeds from three separate property software sources. Our database architecture is such that this can easily be coped with so as to ensure all property page functionality is consistent as well as the property alerts system operating seamlessly.

Since site launch, we have also produced an iPhone App which ties up nicely in branding terms and further enhances the online marketing mix for Aidan J Reed.
