When planning an Atlantic Ocean rowing campaign, getting the website right is crucial. As someone not particularly tech-savvy, I faced a significant challenge in designing and building a website to support, publicise, and advertise our campaign. Fortunately, I connected with Lewis from Weblosoft.
Lewis immediately reassured me that the task was straightforward and could be completed in a few days. He pointed out that the longest and most challenging part would be for me to provide the content for the web pages. To ease this process, he provided templates and offered excellent guidance on making the content engaging and reader-friendly, which showcased his expertise.
We faced initial issues such as not having a boat or images and needing to regularly update the website with our campaign progress. Lewis assured us that he would design the site and provide access for us to make immediate updates ourselves. Despite our concerns, he set up the website structure, gave us access to templates for news stories and updates, and trained us to self-manage the site. I now feel like a website designer myself, thanks to his simple and easy-to-follow instructions.
Whenever we encountered problems, Lewis was just a phone call away. If I was particularly stuck, he would remotely access my screen to resolve the issues. As our campaign gained momentum, Lewis enhanced the website to include features such as donation collection for local dementia services, ticket sales for our fundraising ball, and even a video background for added impact.
One of the most impressive additions was the live tracker on the website’s front page, allowing visitors to see our real-time location and progress as we rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. This feature significantly boosted engagement and support for our campaign.
It’s rare to find companies that go the extra mile these days, but Weblosoft certainly did! They delivered an outstanding website at a fraction of the cost of other designers. If you need a website built, get in touch with Lewis at Weblosoft.
Thank you, Weblosoft…we would have been lost at sea without you!
