The Challenge

Cecil Macdonald are a leading supplier of branded beers, wines, spirits, and snacking products to the UK Travel Retail market.

Cecil Macdonald approached us because the old website was well out of date and the client wanted a simpler brochure site, but of high quality to appeal to their industry contacts.

The new site was to act as a way for brand owners to find out more about the clients business, when doing their research.

Our Approach

We involved the whole Leadership Team to make sure everyone had input, so we were creating a website that was going to be popular with the team. Getting this stakeholder investment means we get things right at every stage.

On the About page we featured the Leadership Team to promote transparency and connect faces to the Cecil Macdonald name. This promotes a friendly, local company, in this corporate space, who are an important player, offering their clients great service.

We created a secondary theme for Ambassadors Choice, to promote the AC branding and offer a contrast with the Cecil Macdonald side of the business.

A page was also added to showcase the clients new Snackboxes collaboration with Jaq out the Box, including a product gallery to show the Snackboxes to potential interested parties.

The website is based on an easy-to-use CMS, backed up by full agency support from our team.

We commissioned David at Made Simple Media to build our website for About Mortgages. David was responsive, incredibly patient, on budget and provided a great finished product that we're delighted with.

Paul, About Mortgages

I am Chief Executive of a charity. When I took over our website crashed and we lost all our data. We switched hosts to Made Simple Media, took on a brand new CMS and we have never looked back. Dave was fantastic then and remains so. Always approachable, quick to respond and great tools to help you on your way.

Matthew Sykes, Sir Simon Milton Foundation

Would highly recommend Dave Reeder at Made Simple Media. From the initial meeting he understood our needs and wants and was able to enhance our ideas, incorporating the new website into our company rebrand. We are delighted with the final result, which has already resulted in new enquiries for our business. And all in a timely fashion and within budget.

After some difficultly with our start up - we decided to go for a complete new web designer with the recommendation of others - Dave was absolutely amazing, from delivering on time and making the website appeal much more to our customers. Definitely recommend! So excited now to start the SEO work!

Parham

Very helpful and professional company and people. They created a trading website for us and were able to even provide the SEO back up and continuing support. The website has been running now for a few years and has increased the online sales dramatically. Very supportive with changes as required. Would definitely recommend.
