The government may be encouraging us to trade in our trusty old bangers for shiny new motors to keep the industry going, but here at Provide Design we have come up with a much more useful idea.

We are pleased to introduce our very own….

WEBSITE SCRAPPAGE SCHEME!

That’s it folks, just like on the car version, trade in your clapped out old website for a brand new, professionally crafted website from Provide Design and enjoy 25% off your final bill.

SO WHY SHOULD YOU TRADE IN YOUR OLD WEBSITE?

Unlike the UK’s roads, the internet is constantly being upgraded by way of the computers we view it on and the web browsers we use. Technology has leapt forward so fast within the last few years that capability of websites has increased ten fold and it is actually now possible to get some return from your website investment. New ideas about software and design make anything possible. It is necessary to keep your website up to date to make sure today’s audience get the best user experience possible.

Unless your existing website is what you would class as a classic Rolls Royce then you shouldn’t really be representing yourself online with a Robin Reliant…

SO WHAT KIND OF WEBSITE CAN YOU GET?

The website scrappage scheme applies to all websites that we design and build as long as you are replacing an existing website.

Here at Provide Design we design, develop and build many different types of websites including: E-commerce shops, brochure websites, blogs, video sites, content management systems, bespoke database systems, email marketing systems, Flash animation, club websites, news websites, online directories and much, much more.

This is all bespoke, the real deal, no off the shelf templates here. We custom design and develop all our websites based on an initial discussion with you about what you really want from your new site. We will propose the best solution based on available technology, fitted around your needs.

View our portfolio of websites here.

25% OFF SOUNDS NICE, BUT WHAT IS IT WORTH?

The typical cost of a new website, designed, built and hosted by Provide Design is £2220.00. This is based on a brochure style website with some elements of Flash animation, a built in blog, content management system and a built in email marketing system that allows you to communicate effectively with your visitors.

So 25% off that is worth a massive £555.00!!

All our websites are built and priced to your specification so please get in touch and we will gladly put together a quote based on your requirements.

Provide Design are proud to announce that our hard work and creativity have bagged Dunstable College a FE First Marketing Excellence award for the ‘Heroes’ recruitment campaign.

The campaign itself was entered in the highly subscribed ‘best 14-19 year old campaign’ category, and came home with the silver.

This national award is strong recognition for the campaign that has largely contributed to a massive 30% increase in full-time age 16-19 student numbers at the College.

We have just been re-comissioned to develop the visual identity of the 2010 Heroes Evolution campaign so watch this space to see how we raise the bar for next year.

Design and build of a comprehensive website for Dunstable Downs Golf Club. The club needed a new website that gave them greater control over it’s content and allowed them to communicate news and important dates to its membership.

The site was built on a full content management system with several unique features such as live, dynamic weather reports on the site and an interactive scorecard that tours visitors around the course.
