We would like to start by announcing our involvement with ‘The Shropshire Hills Mountain Bike & Outdoor Pursuit Centre ’, who are currently working incredibly hard to launch their new centre in Marshbrook, Church Stretton. After many setbacks, the fantastic camp site and pod like accommodation will be open to guests at the start of August.

We have recently developed Richard & Lesley (landlord & lady of The Station Inn Pub) a website for the whole centre www.mtb-shropshire.co.uk , where you can find details of all the activities they will be providing. Another website, devoted to the fabulous accommodation – www.camping-shropshire.co.uk and we are just in the process of building the third; a super online store for Blazing Bikes…. watch this space.

In no chronological order, our most recent site to launch is www.philippagee.co.uk , Philippa is local to Church Stretton and offers many quality financial services, including; investment planning, financial planning and retirement planning for clients. It has been a pleasure to work with Philippa.

We have also created a unique website for BLUE www.bluesauces.com , to compliment their unique dressings & sauces. It is always fantastic to work with people so enthusiastic about their product and for good reason I might add. Why not take a peek, for some very inventive recipe ideas.

Having worked with Sunderland & Thompsons for some years now, we are pleased to announce their new & improved website – www.st-hereford.co.uk . Sunderland & Thompsons have not only had a revamp, but also opened a brand new office in Hay on Wye in, a lovely areas of the country.

In addition, we have revamped yet another estate agents website www.barbers-rural.co.uk and I must say what a fantastic example of a well used Blog. Well done guys!

Anyone interested in joining Pilates? Selena Liebrecht is your lady – www.come2pilates.co.uk .
To quote Joseph Pilates “In ten sessions you’ll feel the difference, in twenty you’ll see the difference and in thirty you’ll have a new body” Why not put her to the test…

If you are looking for luxury accommodation in Scotland, look no further, we are happy to have just provided LHH Scotland with an exciting revamp – www.lhhscotland.com .

Lastly, but by no means least www.celtictshirts.co.uk is a new retail site. For original design, quality   t-shirts, check it out….

Who could it be? The clue was in the debate Chris had last Friday about problems with the window blinds with Moira Stuart. Bob, being the helpful chap he is naturally contacted the show … and next thing you know he is on the radio grabbing his 3 minutes of fame.

We actually missed the show and have not yet found the clip in the podcast, but will post it up if it appears.

Well done Bob – and he really is great value for all types of blinds from venetian blinds to roller blinds so do check him out!.

One of our longest standing scottish clients, Scotland’s Hotels of Distinction has had their site rebuilt and relaunched. If you are looking for a quality scottish hotel then we would certainly recommend checking out their range of offers. We have stayed in a few ourself and they are all pretty good.

Burgoynes of Lyonshall recently let their transport site go live. Burgoynes Transport are part of the Pallet Track network so go ahead and contact them if you need something moved!

More to come tomorrow …..

David Harrison, MD, said “It is always unfortunate when a company has to follow this course of action but our intention is to create as seamless a transfer as possible for clients of Waypoint. As a company we pride ourselves on our customer service and trust we will be able to build long term mutually beneficial relationships with our new clients. We will be contacting all the new clients over the next couple of days with the further intention of moving sites to our own servers as fast as possible. Any Waypoint clients we have not yet spoken to who have any questions should not hesitate to contact us on 01743 244204, where we are available to assist.”

The addition of Waypoint’s clients brings the total number of sites under our control to well in excess of 200. We are able to build and market a broad range of sites from basic content managed sites through to fully bespoke builds that integrate with your in house systems. If you would like to talk to us about developing your own site please do not hesitate to contact us.

Morello Digital are pleased to announce that we are currently working on the following projects:

The Drury, a high quality and rather large self catering house in Oban, have asked us to design and develop their new website.

Scotland’s Hotels of Distinction have also asked us to revamp the current site. The designs are almost fully approved and we should start building the new site next week.

One of our favourite clients, Burgoynes of Lyonshall, have also asked us to re develop their sites, to include more interaction with social media channels. This is in progress and should be ready soon.

The Station In at Marshbrook have received planning permission on their new project, a fantastic mountain biking centre and Wigwam accommodation centre. The blog should be up and running next week and the full site will follow before the year end.

Pimhill Farm is our first collaboration with Carl Jones Design. We have built the current static site and the new content managed version will be live for the weekend.

Woods of Shropshire have asked us to add additional functionality to their very successful site – take a look if you need some good ideas for Xmas presents or need a new shirt!

We are further working on a new travel site based on the Facebook model – a really exciting project that we will keep you up to date on over the next couple of months ..

Close to completion also are two larger projects for Culture Colony, an arts based site for all of Wales, and another of our favourite clients LHH Scotland where we have developed a fully integrated bespoke accommodation and property management system.

Both agencies produce high quality work in the areas of graphic design, branding and corporate communications and we are proud to be associated with these companies. We look forward to developing the relationships over the coming months and years.

If you are a design, marketing or PR agency who feels you could benefit from a reliable and effective development partner, please do not hesitate to get in touch – we use open source platforms including WordPress, Drupal and Magento in addition to any bespoke system development that is required such as integration with in house platforms.

I thought I should write up a little post about how well the brewery are doing. I played golf with John last Friday and he tells me that they are even getting business from Twitter now – which of course I will claim full credit for putting him onto! The Shropshire Star wrote a good article on his tweets last week – click here to read what they said.

In my opinion a brewery, like any other business, needs to have excellent customer service. Having a number of John’s clients as clients myself I know that they are really good, but it is the fact that certain things others fall down on are considered “de rigeur” that sets them apart – if I was running a pub I would want to know that my beer would arrive on time – apparently this is not a given in the licenced trade, but it is with The Three Tuns Brewery who have never been late with a delivery since John and Bill took it over.

They are really busy and approaching capacity again – John even suggested there might be a waiting list soon! My advice therefore is get in touch with them sooner rather than later – my personal recommendations would be the XXX and Clerics Cure beers – excellent, if a tad too moreish!

I’m sure John would also agree that their website, designed and built by Morello Digital of course, has not done them any harm either!
