| | | | the village websmith - what’s new | The biggest new change is the launch of Webinthebox. For small and medium sized businesses, this is an off-the-peg website solution giving masses of space, a choice of layouts flexible colour schemes and complete control over content.
Webinthebox has its own page on this site and its own site at webinthebox.co.uk, so check it out if you want an ’instant’ web presence at a tiny price.
Also new is the increased ability to visit potential customers at short notice. We can get to just about anywhere in the south east of England within 90 minutes from Brentwood. Even the dreaded M25 holds no fear of delay for us as we are a 100% biker organisation so traffic jams don’t exist!... |
| the village websmith - what’s not new | What hasn’t changed is our commitment to offering fast, affordable website creation. Our philosophy has always been to include extremely simple content management with every site, leaving owners free to keep their ongoing costs down.
Also not new is our 25+ years in sales and marketing, much of it before the web was in existence. Much of this time was spend helping scientists share images and information over internal academic networks, so we have a weatlh of experience in managing pictures and getting messages across.
We still remember that the only way we can look good is by helping you look good.
The support that you need
If you want to spend time on your business rather than your website, we will be happy to manage the entire process including content updates and handling enquiries, interfacing with press and advertising campaigns.
The independence that you want
Alternatively, if you have time to manage your content, it really is very simple on all iCaramba sites. Full training is part of the kit, but if you can operate a browser, you can manage your content. |
| the village websmith - llandegley | The more things change, the more they stay the same. Only more so. Leaving Llandegley was a huge wrench.
With its beautiful rocks, tiny spa and relaxed way of life, the situation in Llandeley was idyllic. However, with most customers based in major commercial centres across the border in England, this meant that much too much time was being used travelling.
However, you can take the boy out of Llandegley, but you can’t take Llandegley out of the boy as they say. All we have to do is close our eyes and imagine to be transported back to the fantastic scenery and views of red kites circling to recharge our creative batteries.
Llandegley Rocks and Spa
The picture at the foot of this page was taken from the top of Llandegley Rocks. At the bottom of the hill is the tiny spa, that looks more like a garden shed in the grounds of St. Tecla’s Church.
We even have it on good authority that Llandegley Rocks features the third highest peak in mid-Wales.
Llandegley International Airport
For mamy years now, there has been a sign for this airport on the road from Crossgates.
In fact, the only flights that take off from there are flights of fancy, but it is almost world famous. The airport has even been the subject of questions in the House of Commons. |
| the village websmith - brentwood | Moving to Brentwood has put us much closer to most of our customers and offers a wealth of communications resources that we just didn’t have before. There is a thriving business community here in which we plan to take an active part through networking opportunities and associations like the Federation of Small Businesses.
It is also less expensive to call us now, as we have been able to do away with the non-geographic number and use a single, land-line number for people to call us on. So, what are you waiting for?
Seat of the Peasants’ Revolt
In 1381, the British peasantry had got just about sick of their lot. Richard 11’s poll tax was the final straw and Wat Tyler led a rebellion from Brentwood against the crown.
It all ended when the Mayor of London killed Tyler on behalf of the king. If any parts of this story sound familiar...
Excommunicate the King?
Events here in 1232 nearly led to the excommunication of King Henry 111. The King, it seems, violated the sanctuary of the Thomas a Beckett chapel in Brentwood in pursuit of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent who had been accused of treason by the bishop of Winchester.
In comparison, it is fairly quiet in Brentwood now. |
