I recently worked with Simon and Zena of Kielder and Border Cottages to create a brand new website including new logo design, branding, video and photography.
I first created a new logo, branding and colour scheme, and selected the fonts to be used on the website. I then designed and built a mobile responsive website optimised for mobile users and search engines, creating new content including copy, photography and video.
Finally I set up and integrated a booking system to allow visitors to check availability and book securely online, directly with Kielder and Border Cottages.
