mappr is an online mapping service that plots your locations on a Google style map. Adopting the same features you are used to with Google Maps, we also introduce our own according to the type of service you supply or data you’d like shown.

Primarily for the use of our estate agent clients, mappr is used to show property search results on a map. Using feed data, we are able to display the properties on a map (tailored to the user’s specified criteria) as well as show the relevant sales/letting information within the same interface.

This makes the user-journey more intuitive than sifting through standard results listing pages as well as offering the user all relevant information regarding proximity to local services, schools and railway stations. The mappr service can be applied to existing online solutions as well as a standalone applications.

After 3 years of Mappr Version 1, we decided it needed a more robust and intuitive successor. We grabbed the best ideas from it – Property Clustering, Property Details and Property Types, but took it one step further. We reinvented the design, building on top of the Google Maps API to create custom skins for clients, and offer more insight to the user, giving them Street View, Local Area Info and Geolocation. We’re proud to have built one of the best property mapping solutions in the UK.

With a new website (which we produced as well), the new App also ties in completely with their new online look.

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.
