Local businesses we’ve helped: Friends of Meadowside

At Blue Whale Media, our team has worked hard on a project for Friends of Meadowside; they are a local charity to Warrington. In December 2020, the team collected items to be included in a food bank donation; we selected Friends of Meadowside. They then got in touch with us in January to become our charity of the year, and so our relationship began. 

Friends of Meadowside website build

Charity of the Year 2021. 

At Blue Whale Media, we select a charity each year to become our charity of the year. Included within this, we build a brochure website free of charge for that charity; the charity of the year for 2021 is Friends of Meadowside. They are a Warrington-based charity established to benefit community members struggling to cope without the bare essentials; the community centre has become the local hub of cultural enlightenment. The website for Friends of Meadowside highlights the work they do as a charity; the website design is unique, which helps the charity gain more visitors and raise awareness for the work they are doing as a charity. 

Our Work

A Blue Whale Media, we created a new website for our local charity, Friends of Meadowside, that is modern and designed a website; we created a new logo and rewrote the content included within the design. 

The overall website design and creation are unique, which helps the charity gain more visitors; however, a minimalistic does not distract from the important information. The ‘our ethos’ tab opens up when the user clicks on that section; we also included hover animations on the website menu and the buttons throughout the website, enhancing the user experience. We also included animation on page titles as another interactive element that adds to the overall user experience and helps users stay engaged when finding helpful information. The new website showcases many new features and changes in comparison to its previous design; the use of engaging hover animations on the menu tab and buttons, along with the use of an image slider on the homepage. While media on the page can draw attention away from the text, sliders put it all in one place to prevent distractions, resulting in keeping users engaged for longer.

Why We Love Working With Local Businesses

At Blue Whale Media, we have worked with a lot of local businesses and charities over the years, not just to design websites, but to also help raise awareness and money for good causes. We believe in giving back to the community we live within, especially for small businesses and charities, plus a lot of our staff are local to the area. Often, people will search for charities online, so, therefore, they must have a website that enables their charity to be discovered. Not only this, but people will be made aware of the work they are doing within the local community from their website and can then share that with friends or people they know. 

For more information or to become our charity for 2022, why not get in touch with Blue Whale Media today.

Bach 95’s eCommerce Website

Case Study blog about Bach 95's new eCommerce website by Blue Whale Media

Bach 95’s eCommerce Website

Where e-business refers to all aspects of operating an online business, ecommerce refers specifically to the transactions of goods, services and subscriptions.

The UK is the leading ecommerce market in Europe with £141.93 billion in ecommerce sales. The digital revolution has meant that people now expect good services without delay, so if your website is difficult to navigate or is slow to load, you could find yourself losing out on customers.

At Blue Whale Media, our team has mastered the art of ecommerce website design in order to increase a business’s presence and customer conversions.

Our web designers from Wigan created a brand new Ecommerce website for Bach 95 that is fresh and up-to-date, here’s what we did:

What did we do? 

Our website design team created a completely new and up-to-date website for Bach 95; giving a fresh look and feel to it. The website has modern designs, an updated logo, and eye-catching graphics that are sure to catch the customers’ attention. 

To make things easier for the Bach 95 team as well as their customers, we added a section dedicated to the product subscription service. The most striking feature is the animation – right from the logo to the subscription section, you’ll notice the elements appear one after the other as you scroll down the pages. Our team also integrated an Amazon shop on the website for an easy customer experience, which will benefit Bach 95 immensely. 

Newest Website Changes and Features 

The new eCommerce website for Bach 95 showcases many new features, most importantly a modern design is used throughout to enhance the customer experience. 

An Amazon shop plugin was integrated into the site to enable customers to purchase through Amazon. The features we have incorporated allows the brand to build its online presence whilst also encouraging people to revisit the site.

These features are essential to an ecommerce website, especially the integrated Amazon shop plug-in, this creates a simple but effective way for consumers to purchase products. This will ultimately keep consumers coming back and shopping with Bach 95 because it was easy and effortless. 

What makes a good eCommerce website? 

Essentially, ecommerce websites are constructed in three parts; a storefront, a shop with products and checkout. The virtual shop will allow you to display your business similarly to how you would with a physical shop window. Think of your website as your shop window, as a way to highlight key information about your brand, featured products and services as well as a way to easily check out. The product pages will include prices, images and depending on the product there may be a list of variations. The checkout page may be the most important one for the customer journey, it should be simple but secure for customers to trust the transactional process. 

Every website, be it ecommerce or not, can benefit from an upgrade and new design just like Bach 95. Everyone loves something different, especially online, and you could be just that difference among many others. If you’re interested in a subscription-based eCommerce website, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team at Blue Whale Media.

Olympic Competitions New Website

Case Study blog about Olympic Competitions new website by Blue Whale Media

Olympic Competitions New Website

There are numerous elements when building a competition or raffle website. However, if you’re looking to have a competition website built, there is a lot of information you will need to provide.

With every business, there is a legal side of a website, but with raffles and competitions, it will be up to you to supply and publish ‘terms of conditions’ and ‘privacy policies’ for your competition business. Other than that the process is pretty simple, you just have to know what prizes you’re raffling off and get in touch with an London website design agency like ourselves at Blue Whale Media.

Our design team has just completed a competition website project for Olympic Competitions, here’s what we did:

Olympic Competitions Website Creation from Blue Whale Media 

Olympic Competitions came to us for a website built as a brand new company starting up a competition brand. The new website design is sleek, professional and highlights their brand very effectively. This was imperative because they want people who are entering their competitions to trust them to be a professional business.

With competition and raffle websites, trust from website visitors is essential in order to get them to interact with competitions online. If they don’t believe that there is a physical and legitimate business behind the website they won’t enter the competition, losing you further business.

What did we do? 

Our team of designers created a new website for Olympic Competitions, using a dark colour scheme with a splash of colour. This is the perfect combination to accentuate their key elements, we also came up with a new logo design that complimented the website.

We integrated Mailchimp to get more and more customers to subscribe to their newsletter, hopefully in turn gaining more traffic to their website. We made things more convenient for customers by adding a brand-new cart function. 

Newest Impressive Features of Olympic Competitions’ Website

Olympic Competitions’ new website showcases many new features, they also have a new logo that has been created for further brand awareness. We have added a hover animation feature, alongside a new login function. By including these features the company can properly promote themselves and the user-experience is improved. We wanted Olympic Competitions to stand out amongst its competitors and offer everything they need to run the website smoothly. 

Competition Website Fundamentals 

As the rivalry grows in this sector, you’ll need to find your niche in the field and base your brand around it to make it unique. This can be as simple as only creating specific prize competitors, such as cars or tech, but it can be more dynamic if you have a particular interest that will work in the competition environment. Too much information and decoration will distract the user from the real reason they are visiting your website – to spend money and enter competitions.

Websites have become a core part of most organisations sales and marketing efforts. Today’s web-savvy consumers are looking for experiences that meet their needs in a speedy, interactive and reliable way.

Regardless of the industry, remaining relevant and competitive within your field is at the top of your agenda. If you would like more information about a competition website, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Blue Whale Media.

FUN Charity Website 2020

In 2018 Blue Whale Media Ltd started their scheme for a charity to win a new website. Every year we have an open nomination for charities to enter to win an 8-page custom-designed website. 

In 2020 Fun was chosen as our charity partner of the year. We developed a fun bright exciting website that was designed to engage both the users of the service and donations for the charity. 

We made sure to include lots of pictures of the amazing work that the charity undertakes to ensure the website illustrates the important work that FUN do in our community and further afield.  

Families United supports families who have a child or young person with a disability, we have developed a local support network within our group led by 4 of our trustees whom themselves have a child who has a disability. The whole family is provided with the opportunity to attend a variety of local activities & trips that are suitable for each member. In doing so, we aim to increase the health, wellbeing, and social opportunities of our members. We unite our families so that they find support in each other through shared experiences, strategies and the understanding of the impact that having a child with SEND can have in family life.
