Website Design and Development, Web Hosting, Domain Name Registration for Blue Boar Inn and The Lord Nelson Inn

We have been working with a successful landlord that owns two public houses in Warwickshire to deliver their new websites showcasing their offerings.

The brief was to firstly make the the website look friendly and attractive to families and businesses; to show most of their menus and to allow the landlord and manager to update the website according to what they require.
The website caters for all the above and is also search engine optimisation ready and most importantly, content management ready. This will allow the website to be kept updated by the owner allowing  fresh content for new events during the year such as valentines, easter, summer holidays etc…

“The growing interest in digital media and conversion technologies has certainly increased the concerns of copyright dependent individuals and organisations,” explained Michael Cheung, Managing Director of DVD Blu-ray Duplication.
