ACL Travel

The Idea:
I was asked by a college tutor during my studies to produce a website for a friend of theirs who provided minibus hire. This company had not got to grips with the fast changing and improving technology times and relied on ‘word of mouth’ to get business. I was asked to do this because I had a psssion for website design and was something I wanted to develop further and this was a great opportunity to not only help a friend but to advertise my business and skills.

Development:
During a discussion over coffee and exchanging ideas, I knew I could provide a quality service getting Keith more work through a website which included SEO. The next step was to take a collection of photographs of the minibus and talk more with Keith, asking for stories and examples where he helped someone out to really make a difference. These snippets of information I could then include into the website to ensure customers knew they were getting a quality service.

 The Design:

Handover:
This wasn’t handed over as such, Keith is a technophobe. We discussed I would be fully responsible for ensuring the site was live and upto date. I also created and managed Facebook, Twitter and Yell.com pages. Keith has since decided to retire so I took the website and Social Media Sites down but he did say he did get a lot of work through my services.
