We identified pages with high impressions, refined keyword strategy for search intent, and then crafted a more engaging meta descriptions. Afterwards we added more helpful information to the pages like FAQs.

We’ve Hotjar’s recordings tool to identify key areas for improvement on desktop and mobile device, and have installed a low-effort popup survey which appears on page exit to gatherfeedback about pages.

UnBarred Brewery: Mailing List Design

The UnBarred brewery send out a transactional newsletter every week. We redesigned their newsletter to be consistent with the website and optimised it so that it displays correctly in popular email inboxes on mobiles. We made the newsletter more helpful by providing important contact information. 

UnBarred also send out automated emails after sign-up that we styled to look similar.

The Brighton Box Gallery required a new Woocommerce web store to become eligible for the Own Art Loan scheme. We redesigned the store to create a more gallery-like experience, by remodelling artwork descriptions and providing helpful information alongside the art pieces. We preserved Google ranking by replicating information architecture and SEO to the new site, using 302 and 301 redirects where necessary. We also helped to solidify the artists onboarding process, and introduce new systems for greater organisation and communication between the staff.

We updated their Shopify theme, added custom theme functionality, improved on page SEO, and optimised many pages to be more helpful. We’ve adjusted meta tags to improve the click through rate from Google for pages with high impressions and finding new keyword opportunities. More recently we’ve been improving the ranking of UnBarred Beer Club page on Google by focusing on providing a more helpful user experience – adding FAQs, testimonials, and working on the product story. We’ve created documentation to help new staff stay on top of the website.
