Sova Healthcare provide bespoke home care services to elderly and vulnerable individuals in Yorkshire and Leicestershire. With two offices in two separate parts of the country, the company was beginning to outgrow its rather basic website, and that's why Sova got in touch with the Designer Websites team.

We used a number of different strategies to update Sova Healthcare's online presence. The most striking difference between the new site and the old site is the responsive design; given the current trend towards mobile phone usage, most of our recent clients have opted to go responsive, and Sova were no exception. Where the old site was somewhat difficult to navigate on a smaller screen, the new site looks great and functions perfectly on any device, from desktop PCs to smartphones and tablets.

Home care is obviously a sensitive topic for many people, particularly the type of people who are likely to visit the Sova website. With this in mind, we collaborated with Sova to ensure that every element of their new site painted the company as a compassionate and understanding care provider with a wealth of experience. This is reflected in every aspect of the finished website, from the copy to the choice of images.

With streamlined navigation and a friendly, welcoming design, Sova Healthcare's new website will make it as easy as possible for clients to arrange healthcare for their loved ones. If you want to visit the new site, you'll find it at www.sovahealthcare.co.uk.

Computers are right at the core of many businesses (not least our own), and yet you'd be surprised at how many of those businesses have absolutely no backups or disaster recovery plans in place. From hardware failure and computer viruses to flooding and human error, there are any number of dangers that could wipe out all of your information in the blink of an eye - you never know what could happen tomorrow!

Fortunately, Alphabyte IT can help you to safeguard against all of these hazards and more. They've helped a huge variety of businesses to organise their IT infrastructure and protect themselves from data loss, and with the brand new website that we've just finished building for them, they're ready to help many hundreds more!

The new site (alphabyte.it) is completely responsive, and while we obviously aren't entirely objective, we think it looks absolutely great. The simple design makes it easy to find the service you need, and trust us, data backup is just one of many services that Alphabyte can provide. They also offer IT evaluations, project management assistance, copy and printing advice, and much more besides.

So if you haven't been taking proper care of your company's IT systems, go and take a look at the new Alphabyte website. They may end up saving your business!

If you enjoy the odd spot of baking on the weekend, we've got fantastic news for you: BritishBakeware.co.uk (our latest project) is now up and running! British Bakeware is a brand new enterprise that was started by a team of baking fanatics - the company sells baking trays, cake tins, and all kinds of other essential kitchenware. In short, it's a one-stop shop for bakers all over the UK!

This is an ecommerce website and so, as usual, we've made sure that the buying process is slick, functional, and as easy as can be. Products are divided into several different categories ('Bread Baking', 'Grill Pans', etc.), and from there, it's a straightforward shopping basket system that allows users to restock their kitchen in moments!

One very nice feature of this website is the blog. We styled it to look like one of your mum's recipe books (very in-keeping with the website's vintage theme), and we gave it a highly readable layout that makes it exceptionally easy to whip up your next masterpiece. The recipes are linked to 'Products You May Find Helpful' - for example, the pizza recipe links to a pizza tray - and those products contain links to the relevant recipes, too. It's a great idea, and we're very pleased with how it all comes together!

50cal Detailing are based in Belfast Harbour, and they specialise in high-calibre car detailing products such as wax and polish. They're still a fairly young business, but they're serious about what they do, and their products took years of research to perfect.

The 50cal website has just gone live, and we think it's one of the most eye-catching we've ever created. It's got a sleek black design and a responsive layout that looks great on smaller screens (smartphones and other mobile devices) as well as on desktop PCs. Moreover, 50cal's intuitive ecommerce website makes it easy for potential customers to find the product that's right for them - whether you're looking for wax, car wash foam, wheel cleaner, or something else again, you'll find it in a matter of seconds.

Digital media is one of several services provided by Practice Solutions, and obviously, any company that works with video and social media needs to appear plugged-in and switched-on. For this reason, the people behind Practice Solutions decided that their site was in need of an update, and that's where the Designer Websites team enter the picture!

The new Practice Solutions website is now live - you can visit it at www.practicesolutions-ltd.co.uk, and as you'll see, we've refreshed it with a vivid, lively new look. The new version of the site is easy to navigate and very appealing to look at - we hope that the company are happy with it!
