Northerncare, one of England’s largest providers of residential children’s homes, have once again appointed Motionlab to bring up-to-date all their online and offline marketing material.
Since first employing the services of Motionlab a couple of years ago, Northerncare has become one of the fastest growing companies in the UK, operating 40 homes nationwide. The Blackpool-based company are now looking to expand the business further and felt that a refresh of their existing website, photography and overall brand was required to help them achieve this long-standing goal.
Following the huge success of our original work with them, Northerncare were very keen to work with us again. Our graphic designers have ensured that the new-look Northerncare brand is distinctive enough to set them apart from other companies within the care industry, while remaining approachable to young people due to the sensitive nature of their business.
Motionlab have also ensured that all new imagery used throughout www.northern-care.co.uk and other promotional documentation shows the many young people in Northerncare’s hands ‘on-site’ so that visitors can gain a better understanding of the full Northerncare experience.

A few weeks ago we informed you that since Motionlab redesigned Conservatory Outlet’s and 5 Star Window & Conservatories websites; they had experienced an unprecedented increase in online traffic, leads and sales.
West Yorkshire Windows, a current member of Conservatory Outlet’s growing network of installers, decided to capitalise on this success by asking our web design, technical and SEO teams to give their website a similar overhaul so as to replicate these fantastic feats.
Using a template not too dissimilar to that which has proved to be such a triumph for Conservatory Outlet and 5 Star, the new West Yorkshire Windows website is more user-friendly and functional than ever before.
All online users who are in the market for a new conservatory or set of windows can navigate their way around the site with complete ease. The detailed imagery used throughout the site gives customers the chance to gauge which designs they feel will most suit their property without even having to make the effort to travel to one of the company’s stylish showrooms.
We firmly believe that the new website will enable West Yorkshire Windows to establish itself as the number one home improvement specialist in the West and South Yorkshire regions.
Why not see the new website for yourself at http://www.westyorkshirewindows.co.uk/

Is a thought that occasionally flickers through my head when I’m trying to come up with an idea for my next blog and also a question I’m sure many businesses ask themselves when trying to define their online marketing strategy.
So what’s the answer?
Unfortunately there is no single answer as to why you should blog, but there are a huge number of other reasons as to why you should start or continuing blogging, some of which I’ve written about below:
• “Content is King” is a phrase often talked about. Google thrives on relevant and well written content, so the more you add to your site the better.
• “Timing is everything” and it’s true. By producing a regular blog, it gives Google more reasons to come back and visit your site, which for those who don’t know, is definitely a good thing.
• “You’re the expert”. A blog gives you an opportunity to show your customer (current or potential) that you’re an expert in your industry.
These examples are just a small snapshot of why you should blog on a regular basis. If you are still struggling to find inspiration for your next blog post, try employing an agency like Motionlab to write it for you alongside a cleverly thought-out SEO campaign.
