Marketing Consultancy Web Design :

The Client

Mercury Marketing is led by Geoff Ramm who was previously a Shell LiveWIRE South Tyneside Young Entrepreneur of the Year. As well as providing specialist marketing advice to startups and micro-businesses, Mercury Marketing offers consultancy to SMEs and works in conjunction with Business Link and Barclays to deliver marketing related seminars and events across the UK.

The Brief

The requirement was to totally redesign the website and bring it up-to-date in terms of the look and feel whilst retaining the brand and corporate identity; as well as to make the whole experince more engaging.

Further, we were asked to implement a system whereby the pages could be kept up-to-date by a person without skills in web design. The facilities needed to allow new content to be added regularly, perhaps news and photos relating to events and seminars as well as Mercury Marketing's own PR.

The Solution

We created a stylish yet highly usable navigation system and made use of Flash for an impressive yet unobtrusive animated section on the homepage.

A Content Management System with an image manager and a MS Word style page editor were put in place to power not only the news section, but also the other pages on the site. This means that Mercury can make all the changes they need to text and images without having to ask ne-web every time they wish to make an edit.

Geoff was so pleased with the results, he commissioned us to carry out some further work to add a Paypal section when he released his DVD production. This allows him to sell online with minimal investment in e-commerce facilities.
