Large-Scale New Website Created For The GGF

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Motionlab relishes the challenge of taking on big projects with big responsibilities. They don’t come much bigger than producing an all-encompassing new website for the primary representative organisation for companies involved in the glazing industry, the GGF.

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) commissioned Motionlab to create the new site after being alerted to our previous great work for a variety of different UK glazing companies.

Our SEO, technical, web design and copywriting teams have all had their part to play in ensuring that the new site is as accessible and informative as possible for all homeowners, existing and potential GGF members and commercial specifiers.

Homeowners visiting the site will be made aware of just how important it is to only use GGF-approved installers when in the market for home improvement products as the site now contains the very best industry-related content. Locating an accredited member is also easier than ever before thanks to the wizardry of our ever clever designers.

We have also created a dedicated ‘Publications’ page where the GGF can upload all technical guides and codes of practice. Each publication can then in turn be downloaded by all members and commercial specifiers to be used and referred to when they are undertaking assignments at homes or within construction.

The GGF is widely considered to be a leading authority within the glass and glazing industry. The ‘News’ and ‘Events’ pages will enable the federation to regularly keep visitors up to date with everything going on within the every-changing world of glass.

The site has only been live for around 48 hours but we are delighted to report that it is already receiving plaudits across the board from those involved in the industry. It is good to know that all our hard work has paid off for yet another one of our high-profile clients.

You can visit the new site at: www.ggf.co.uk

Motionlab Helps Conservatory Specialists Reach Record Levels

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Motionlab always likes to give a helping hand to businesses looking to improve upon the number of leads and sales they receive, especially during these difficult financial times. And it looks like we have succeeded yet again.

Conservatory Outlet has reported a record number of internet leads in January, following the re-launch of their website in November of last year. It seems to be no coincidence that since our talented team of designers redesigned the site, of the 2900 leads generated, Conservatory Outlet’s main website accounted for over one third.

The rest of the leads received were generated through Conservatory Outlet’s regional dealers’ bespoke websites which were also all produced and thoroughly search engine optimised by Motionlab.

One particular stand-out performer during this period has been 5 Star Windows & Conservatories, the newest member of Conservatory Outlet. Also produced in conjunction with Motionlab, their new website, which was given a totally new look by our web design team and went live last month, has received double the amount of site traffic that it had compared to January 2010. Sales figures have also gone through the roof, dwarfing those of last year.

The network as a whole has benefitted from a 115% rise in the volume of online traffic throughout the month of January, with leads increasing by a staggering 240%.

This is further proof if any were needed that internet-marketing does work.

Would you like to take advantage of the ever-growing online market? Give Motionlab a call on 01772 865050 and let us help you get great results.
