The Village Websmith - At Home Near You for Mumbles, , South Wales
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
The subject of money in many cases can present a surprise. You will find the surprise a pleasant one when presented with your Village Websmith invoice. Your site is built using Webinthebox®, our own content management system, developed since 2003. This makes creation and customisation of sites very quick.

Autumn is coming and our thoughts turn to business
The changing of the leaves, the longer nights and shorter days can mean only one thing - opportunity! As one season's market dies away, it leaves the way clear for the birth of a new one. Autumn is a cathartic time, both in nature and in business.
If you experience seasonal peaks in business, now is a great time to make sure that your web site is performing as well as it possibly can. Updates made now should get indexed twice by the search engines before the end of the year. This is great news for the Christmas market.
It is also great news for next year's tourist season market. All over the country, families will be taking their minds off the gloom and winter chill by looking forward to their next summer's activities. Your website can and should be a part of this planning process, so updating and making the best possible impact on this market should pay dividends in the coming year.
To get an expert view of how your site is performing in the three key areas of getting found, getting the message across and getting a response, along with free advice on performance improvements, come along to our next website surgery at the Shire Hall in Monmouth.
Village Websmith surgeries are completely free to attend and the next one takes place on September 20th between 9am and 4pm. There is no charge, but it is advisable to book so that we can make sure everyone gets the individual attention they need. Simply follow the enquiry link below, or call us on 01291 680187.
Mumbles is also close to our headquarters in Shirenewton, Monmouthshire, which helps us to maintain our policy of only working face to face with customers to make sure they get the best results quickly when writing the content for their web sites. This is a much quicker method of establishing what aspects of a business are the most promotable and getting the order of things. So, if you have a small business in Mumbles, just get in touch with the Village Websmith and experience the difference of truly personal web design for yourself.
