The Village Websmith - At Home Near You for May Hill,, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire
Dedicated to small businesses.
At the Village Websmith, we only work with small businesses. It is far simpler and much more rewarding. It is far easier to get information about what is good about a business when you are talking to the person who IS the business. We are proud to have helped hundreds of small business people expose themselves more effectively on the Internet since 2003.
Giving word of mouth a helping hand.
As do many small businesses, most of our customers are certain that Word Of Mouth Marketing is the best way to get business. We strongly agree. After all, that is how we get most of our work. However, there is no harm in giving WOMM a helping hand. That is how we see the web presence here at the Village Websmith. It is an easy way for your customers to share your business with their friends and family.
Easy, easy, easy!
The hallmark of all our work is that the experience for visitors is easy. Your information is expertly presented not only in the form of words used and the images associated, but just as importantly, in the places where people look and where they expect to find the information. Nothing gets hidden in unnecessary, distracting animations and the pages follow a stable, comfortable structure, developed with just your site in mind. The most important part is that it is also extremely easy for visitors to respond to you via your chosen communication channel. You choose the option that suits best your availability to handle the enquiries.
Like Baby Bear's Porridge
How customers perceive your business is fundamental in how they respond to it. An impoartant part of our job is to make customers look just the right size for everyone. Small enough to be cherished by existing customers but substantial and professional enough to reassure potential new customers. This is a delicate balance that is only achieved through decades of experience in creating web presences promoting small businesses.
Getting found can also help
With unique functions to associate what you do, for whom and where, Webinthebox® from The Village Websmith helps even the smallest business find its way to the forefront of search engine results. Come and visit us, we will be happy to show some examples of how this works. You will also find that it is explained in plain language and not Jargonese.
Last but not least

Who's Lookin' at You Kid?
In our current financial climate, it is important to know where every penny goes and what it buys you. This is just as true of your webvertising budget as anything else. While it may not cost a fortune to get search engine attention using Webinthebox? because the architecture is designed to promote good natural listings in search engines, it does involve a deal of admin and your time to keep things up to date. This naturally has a cost to your business for which you want to receive value.
To help all our customers know how well their search engine strategy is working, we have now built into the simple stats page an analysis of who is referring how many visitors to your website. There has always been a detailed analysis of how many pages are being viewed, but now you can see how that came to be.
If you are going for one of our search engine tune-up kits, this new feature will definitely be of interest to you in tracking the performance of all the various search engines on your behalf.
