Red Hen School Meals

By Andrea Bradley on March 25, 2022 in

WooCommerce Website for Red Hen School Meals

Naz and Andy of Red Hen Cookery recently asked me to redesign their school meals WordPress/WooCommerce website. The existing site had been built without a child theme in place, so they were unable to update the theme without it breaking the website. The theme the website was using was also dated and slow.

As well as the aesthetics side, their customers were struggling to use the website as the user experience was poor, and it was incredibly difficult to use from a mobile device.

I developed a new website for Naz and Andy, with a fresh and clean design. The WordPress framework was utilised so that they can keep the content fresh and up to date, and WooCommerce was integrated for online ordering. The transition was seamless, and both Naz and Andy – and their customers – are delighted with the new website, which is now a pleasure to use and manage.

We both wanted to get in touch to tell you how grateful we are for everything you've done to help us and Red Hen over the last few months. When 100% of our business comes from online, it's incredibly stressful and literally causes sleepless nights when things don't work properly. We honestly can't tell you what it means to know that you've got our back when things go wrong, in fact not only that but the fact that you're actively looking for ways to make the user experience better even if things are working fine.

WordPress Website for Alexandra Richmond

I was asked to redesign the Alexandra Richmond Beauty Therapy website as the business owner, Keely, felt her current site was tired and outdated. She also felt she didn’t have the required skill or the time to update it herself to the professional level it needed to reflect her brand.

The website was redesigned and rebuilt upon the WordPress framework. This allows Keely to update the content as and when required, without any technical skills, and she was blown away with the end result.

Andrea created a new website for my Beauty Salon and I was blown away. She took onboard my ideas and came up with something perfect. The process was straightforward efficient and smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend her services. I’ve had lots of compliments.

Nurture Media

WordPress Website for Nurture Media

Linda and the team at Nurture Media asked me to design a website for their new brand. They wanted to expand their reach and generate more leads and enquiries.

They also wanted to be able to post regular updates and podcasts via a blog on their website, and make content changes as and when needed – without any technical knowledge.

I developed a new website for the Nurture Media team, with a clean and attractive design. The WordPress framework was utilised so that they could keep the content fresh and up to date, and they were delighted with the results.

We couldn’t love our new website more. We’ve had tremendous feedback and a fantastic amount of hits already.

When we emailed a major organisation in connection with a story we’re working on, they replied that they’d also like us to quote for work – because they said our website shows us in such a ‘professional and caring’ light.

I’m not sure there’s a better recommendation than that response! Your skill and vision is very much appreciated, especially in helping us share our new podcast which has made quite a stir.

Thank you Andrea for all your hard work, and design genius in welcoming our brand to its online home.

Website Redesign for Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne

Cohen asked me to redesign his existing website, as he felt it was outdated and in need of a revamp. He also wanted to be able to make content changes as and when needed, without any technical knowledge.

I therefore developed a new website for Cohen with a clean and minimal design, similar to the website I’d created for his band Granny’s Attic, utilising the WordPress framework so that he could keep the content fresh and up to date.

A wonderful web designer to work with. Very flexible and helpful at every point in the process. I finally have a website that I can be happy with and that successfully represents me and my work. Thanks Andrea!

Website Redesign for Charles Saville

Nicola at Charles Saville Associates Ltd asked me to redesign her existing website, as it was outdated, lacking in functionality, and it wasn’t mobile-friendly. She wanted to expand the reach of her brand, attracting new landlords and tenants alike.

It was also important to Nicola that she could list properties that were available to let directly on the website, and for those properties to then be automatically listed on Rightmove, On The Market, and We Are The Market.

I therefore developed a new website for Charles Saville, with a fresh, clean and minimal design. The WordPress framework was utilised, along with PropertyHive for the listing of properties to let. Nicola was thrilled with the end result.

We wanted to create a new website. Andrea understood our brief immediately and understood the type of site we wanted to build. Between her technical skills and vision we achieved the ideal website which has been hugely successful for Charles Saville.

Having the peace of mind and reassurance that we have in Giraffical has been pivotal to our success.

Bespoke Website for Bright Consultancy

WordPress Website for Nicholson Joinery

Richard Nicholson of Nicholson Carpentry & Joinery Ltd was happy with their existing WordPress website design, but it had been built without a child theme in place, so they were unable to update the theme without it breaking the website.

I therefore rebuilt the website from the ground up with a custom child theme, matching the design as closely as possible. The website can now be kept safe, secure, and up to date.

We have recently worked with Giraffical to overhaul our website, we are very happy with the decision. They come highly recommended, feel free to give me a call if you would like to hear about the excellent service we received.
