Fencing & Gates fly past their Annual Sales Target! - Monday, May 05, 2008

www.fencing-and-gates.co.uk set themselves a high target for their ecommerce website! They knew they would have to invest and hoped they would get a return on their investment and made plans accordingly.

With Pay Per Click from WSI, www.fencing-and-gates.co.uk achieved their Annual Sales target very early! They were so impressed with the results, they doubled their marketing budget. WSI knew that Pay Per Click alone would not get the return F&G deserved, so with the assistance of the SEO services from their e-market place provider Plexus, a strategy was set in place that has quadrupled their investment so far!

WSI ASAP site found by Channel 4 - Monday, April 28, 2008

Channel 4's Property Ladder have been working on two Victorian Properties in West London, and needed the gardens paving and tidying up.

They began their search for a Contractor by using the web. They didn't have to look too far!

Channel 4 found www.PrestigePaving.net which was launched late 2007. This website was created using the WSI ASAP system. A system designed to be speedily built (this one was built and launched in a day!) and suits the needs of a smaller budget perfectly.

An email was sent to Felix of Prestige Paving from Channel 4 and negotiations are underway.

Felix says "WSI are brilliant. they understand my business and are very quick and reliable. I would recommend them to anyone - and have done"

This just goes to prove the power of a good website! For more information on the WSI ASAP, click here.
