DESIGN PORTFOLIO

Before you orders a website of your own from BeenDesigned, you might like to see some of the websites we've created over the past few years. Much of our work comes through professional contacts and word of mouth, so we tend to do a lot of work in sectors where we're well known, but we build websites for all types of businesses. There's a selection of websites, both HTML and WordPress CMS based, all created on behalf of small-medium sized businesses.

In addition to one-off clients we also do work for several groups who have used us for multiple websites, such as the teaching groups in Italy. We still have a lot of clients in Italy, where we originally started out so if you need a website in fluent Italian, we're the people to speak to!

Built around Wordpress and aimed at helping to promote UK pet adoption agencies, Adoptable is a non-profit website. Adoptable provides a platform which pet rescue organisations and private pet owners can use to advertise cats, dogs or other pets in need of adoption.

We've built six websites for this Essex-based group so far, starting with Essex House Clearances and then progressing, using the same design layout, along with 8 landing pages for additional domains. The group specialise in house clearances in south Essex.

While the group websites are basically what could be called 'brochure' websites they were built with Wordpress to allow the owners to easily update or add pages at will, and also cater for online bookings if that becomes desirable.

A similar website for your business would cost little more than an HTML website, though better quality hosting is needed.

The MilanoInglese sites have been rebuilt in 2020, having been converted from HTML and the RomaInglese site is expected to floow suit later in the year. Maintained and hosted by us for over a decade, they are optimised to achieve the best results in Google searches.

If you search Google for 'inglese a Milano' or inglese a Roma' the sites are always in the first few results and have been for at least 10 years. To read more about these sites, click below.

Over the years we've produced dozens of websites for boarding catteries, kennels, animal charities and so on. The sites illustrated here are just examples of some of the sites we created.

Without the need for blogs, ecommerce and so on, websites for business like these are ideally suited to low-cost HTML, being fast-loading, cost effective, reliable and able to achieve good results in Google searches.

This kind of 'brochure' website is perfect for small businesses which want to advertise their services and location but don't need an online shop.

HTML websites need little maintenance and can cost as little as £300-£400, all up and running.

We started out creating websites for local language schools and the 4 shown here are typical examples. We developed our reputation building simple and affordable websites for small and new language schools, but our websites were also highly effective and top performers in Google.

In addition to language schools, we have created lots of websites for private teachers who wanted to advertise their services and compete on level terms with local language schools. Illustrated here are a couple of examples.
