Hello folks,
I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. We managed to afford a few days off but we’re now back hard at working building the best websites in the region!
Here’s another site we’ve done. Just launched last week. http://www.bailgateclothing.co.uk/
Apologies for the lack of blog updates recently but we have a pretty valid reason. It’s been pedal to the metal with a number of sites we’ve been working on and we have a few here to showcase to you.
Feast your eyes on some of these:

More coming soon.
Hello all. Firstly, we must apologise for our lack of blog updates recently. It has been a busy and crazy 6 months for us following our internal restructure and we’ve been hit by a sales boom. We thought you’d like to see some of our latest work…
Just two samples of recent work to quench your thirst. We have another 10-15 projects due to be completed in the coming month so stay tuned for further updates!
A couple of months back we wrote on our blog with our predictions of what will happen to the Internet during the credit crunch and recession. Our belief was that the Internet is one of few industries that will benefit in the recession, namely because going online is cheap, it is entertaining and when you have less to spend on essentials (as well as a smaller disposable income), you’re going to shop around for the best deal. And we all know that comparing prices online takes minutes, instead of walking back and forth from shop to shop.
And it seems our predictions were correct. The BBC reports that e-tailers saw a 37% increase in visitors to their websites in the run up to Christmas. 37% represents a huge amount! Considering that retail visits and sales were down just a couple of percent, it seems that people really have taken to buying more and more products online.
For those with good, established websites that have full e-commerce (accepting credit card payment, processing the order and despatching the order via courier), it’s like the dot.com bubble all over again. However, those without e-commerce websites risk being left far behind. And with the digital divide growing and more people relying on the Internet, you really cannot afford to wait any longer.
Spiral Media can produce full e-commerce websites from £1000 upwards. We have years of expertise with working with shopping carts, credit card merchants and introducing delivery regimes. If you’re interested in what we can offer, just drop us an email or give us a call. We’d love to hear from you.
At SpiralMedia, we’re all too aware of the economic gloom that we’re currently seeing worldwide. However, the Internet is one of few industries that is expected to escape unscathed. Why is this?
Well, consumers pay a fixed monthly fee for their broadband connections. Broadband is increasingly seen as a commodity that consumers can go without. It’s far cheaper to go online and socialise on Facebook, hunt for bargains on Ebay or follow your favourite sports team than it is to renew your Sky subscription, go out for a meal or head to the cinema.
Well placed businesses can capitalize on this. Consumers will spend more time and pay greater interest to websites and will spend longer hunting around for the best deal. People already know you can usually get a better deal online and with less money to spend, it is obvious consumers will rely on the Internet more and more for their purchases. We’re now in 2008 and gone are the days where consumer confidence is not high enough to purchase online.
