Work with Footprint Travel Guides

Our first task when starting work with Footprint Travel Guides was to perform a site audit. This looked at 30 different factors that influence search engine ranking and user behaviour. We've also been working on on-page optimisation and have started on a linking strategy. Find out more.

Refer work = Free design or fee

We've always been great believers in the power of word of mouth and it's not surprising as over 90% of our work comes to us this way. If you refer new business we'll reward you with either free design/development work or a finder's fee. Contact Dominic for more details.

 
improve your email marketing

Online bookings increased by 400% since Mahindra Homestays redesign

We are delighted that since the relaunch of the Mahindra Homestays website online bookings have increased by 400%. Our main aim was to improve the user experience, making it easier to book and to provide authoritative destination content. We've published four posts looking at key stages of the development process.

1. Research 2. Wireframe Development 3. Design 4. Blog Integration

If you have a website redesign project in mind get in touch, we'd love to help increase sales!
