The Brief

Having been a customer of Green Tornado since 2007, Long Island Shutters came to Green Tornado wanting a new website as the previous website had many issues due to the age and many other factors. Firstly it was programmed in such a way that made it slow, having many plugins and extra bits of code that caused issues when updating.

The team at Long Island Shutters wanted a clean brochure looking website with many images showing the range they had, and to be able to update new projects they had completed.

The website was designed with SEO at the forefront, this is easier to do from the very beginning such as labelling all the images to the correct keywords etc. They felt SEO had the best ROI and had felt this type of marketing was their best fit.

Long Island Shutters also wanted a range of designs that included : –

Brochures
Flyers
Business cards
Roadside banner

What we did

WEBSITE

We designed a brochure like clean website that reflects their style.
Created an easy navigation for the users to find their way within the website.
Added specialist plugins to make things easy to update and utilised all the needs for SEO to perform better.
Created templates that could be used by people within the company to add new products with ease.
Converted all the current metatags to the new pages and redirected all old pages so not to cause 404 errors preventing page not found types of pages being shown.
Making sure all the images were compressed to a size that showed quickly and efficiently on mobiles.

SEO

Using a list of 15 keywords that highlight the products they currently offer, the website’s pages were optimised to send Google the signals it required to improve its search engine rankings for those keywords.

In order to improve the website’s standing in Google’s search results, technical SEO was employed. Any errors that prevented the website from being indexed were rectified and schema was introduced.
Slowly but surely, the rankings began to stay towards the top of Google for the selected keywords week after week.

Every picture was given a descriptive name, and several other SEO strategies were implemented to give them the boost they required.

DESIGN

Initially needing business cards for all their staff. We set out to design a simplistic but glossy in design, business card that was easy identifiable from a distance and showed the details needed for contact. The colour scheme was taken from the branding. The website also followed these colours of course.

Having many needs for different types of marketing, such other business stationary was designed such as various flyers that gave information for new styles and ranges over time.

Their main brochure comprising of 28 pages was designed again with high quality images in a glossy format. it gives a clear indication of they style and workmanship of the company.
