Project: Offshore Support Vessel Shemarah ii

The Shemarah II is an offshore support vessel working in the petrochemical and offshore wind farm industries.

The clients, Moodie Fishing Company Ltd. were looking for a new website to promote the individual boat Shemarah II, and provide an easily accessible data file, certification and contact forms for anyone looking to charter the boat through their partner site SFF Services Limited.

As well as individual pages detailing the various types of offshore support charters the Shemarah II can work – there was a “blog” function added to the site so that the boat’s owners could easily update the site with their latest news, contracts and further information to back up the boat location application on the homepage.

Part of the contract included us providing SEO keyword research and basic on-page SEO both as part of our copywriting, in the site architecture and page names, image names and various HTML tags throughout the content as a foundation for future off-page SEO.

Project: Beachbody Coach Site Redesign

Beachbody Coach Michelle Whitley came to Tartan looking to have her existing Beachbody Coaching website redesigned.

The aims of the redesign were to add a new overall branding and professional / healthy feel to her website – and for it to produce more business for her in terms of sign-ups to her Beachbody coaching courses and to sell more Beachbody product.

Before taking on the project we’d never heard of Beachbody – an American healthy eating and fitness business opportunity in which self employed coaches train and mentor clients in bodily and mental strength, long-term weight control and improve financial self sufficiency through business skills training with an opportunity to earn income through selling healthy supplements and exercise programs.

beachbody coaching nutrition support and fitness We quickly realised just how big a thing Beachbody is in the US – and how competitive it is – so we set about ensuring that Michelle’s site would give a more professional first impression through new branding, new site-wide template graphics and clearer calls to action.

Michelle will be providing all the site’s copy and is currently putting together a free product to build an e-mail list.

Tartan will be providing Michelle with social branding in early 2013 with a Facebook Fan Page and Facebook app. to increase her interaction, social reach and potential traffic and particularly to become less reliant on search engines for traffic.

We will shortly be offering specific Beachbody coach web design packages on our new US specific website at TartanWebDesign.com – launching mid 2013

Web Design Edinburgh

Web design in Edinburgh

When it comes to web design Edinburgh must surely be one of the best served cities in the UK. Sometimes it seems every man woman and child offers web design services in Edinburgh.

For someone looking for web design in Edinburgh this can prove to be both a blessing and a curse…

Sometimes too much choice can have a paralysing effect on a consumer – concerned that you will make the wrong choice you can spend months researching all of the available options – all the while your website remains unbuilt. After all, how do you know that SnazzyWeb Designz hasn’t just picked up a couple of books on web design last week and going to learn his trade on your dime?

The benefit of all this choice is of course price. In any competitive market companies can either provide a fantastic service or a super low price. This is Scotland – lets not kid ourselves – price plays a huge factor.

How do we know we’re getting the best site for our cash?

There are three service elements in web design, high speed of service, low cost and high quality – tradition suggests you can only EVER have two of those elements.

You may have a high speed build at a low cost, but the quality sucks big time. You could get a fantastic website built double quick but it’s going to cost you – or you can save a few quid, and get a brilliant site but you’ll be waiting months for any progress.

These poor people that want the world, want it ASAP and have microscopic budget tend to find disappointment at every turn.

It doesn’t have to be this way… (of course you know where this is leading!)

For the good people of Edinburgh, we’re offering a bespoke, fully hand coded website built and hosted for a mere £195.00. Yes a unique web design for five less than 200 of our Scottish pounds.

Our Starter Web Design Package. It sings. It dances. It makes the coffee* and can be had at the kind of affordable price that makes sense for even the most cash strapped start-up.

Web Design? Edinburgh? It has to be Tartan.

*no it doesn’t. It’s a website. A really good website but as such it has no coffee making abilities
