Case Studies

Yew Tree Cottage B&B

When Gill started a B&B in Hotham, E. Yorkshire, she knew that she would need a website to help market the business. She came to Moorlands Hosting because although she knew that she needed a website, she didn’t know where to start getting one up and running.

After an informal chat on the phone, it soon became clear that she needed a basic brochure-ware site, that would tell her customers about her place, its facilities, how much it cost to stay and where it is located.

Moorlands Hosting recommended a Wordpress based website with a flexible template that could be customised to Gill’s needs. We were also able to help with using some of Google’s marketing tools such as Adwords and Local Business Center. We also configured and embedded a Google Calendar to show prospective visitors when she had reservations and vacancies. Finally we added a Google Map to help people find her.

Moorlands Hosting researched some possible domain names for Gill, and she chose the one that most suited her needs. We then registered it and configured the website to use it.

All in all the process took no more than week. Which is a typical time frame for this kind of work via phone and email.

Gill now has her website up and running and is very happy with it, and Google is feeding her with leads via Adwords.

Please feel free to visit Gill’s website and consider staying with her for a night or two – it’s very nice in that part of the world.
