Their mantra is “Everyone. Welcome. Always” with inclusivity being at the heart of their business. There is a strong emphasis on the belief that quality care is person-centred, and this is celebrated throughout all the services provided.

Founders Terri Lawes and Rhiannon Williams wanted to make a difference in the world of care, providing a personal, professional and responsible service to their clients whilst driving a positive change in health and social care. 

With excellent care comes an excellent website, and that’s exactly why Terri and Rhiannon approached us to build theirs and help share City Care Southwest’s ethos. Having previously worked with their partner company City Security, City Care Southwest knew of our proven track record in building successful websites and were confident that we knew exactly how to get their new care venture up and running online.

Offering a comprehensive web design service, we built their branding from scratch – from designing the logo and developing a clear and concise webpage with City Care Southwest’s core values at the forefront of our minds. Here, you can gain a clear understanding of the care and compassion that goes into their work, book a service, learn more about how their team of expert carers can help, and even apply to join the team yourself. The site is now live, so you can take a look here: www.citycaresw.co.uk

James from Summerbreeze had been taking bookings through Airbnb, but knew in the long-term it was important to be able to take bookings directly through their own website. Having scoured the internet looking at hundreds of websites for holiday cottages, James came across one that stood out. It was one our ours. He got in touch and we got to work.

Having built hundreds of holiday cottage websites and worked with many more, we knew exactly what James needed – from cottage pages, to his chosen booking engine integration. It’s now live, so you can take a look at the site here: https://www.summerbreezeorchard.co.uk/

We were first approached by Birchill Farm toward the start of the summer period. They knew we were specialists in tourism marketing and wanted our guidance on how to increase bookings, having taken the business over just a couple of years ago.

Once we’d visited and looked around, it was clear a large gap existed between what was on their website and the heavenly reality of what is there. With that in mind, replacing the old site with one that does them justice was a central part of our plan; there is no point in driving lots of traffic if people can’t easily see how blooming awesome it is!

We also gave guidance on their approach to listing sites, as well as their approach to email marketing.

The MiHi team recently helped Great Eckworthy to launch a website just as stylish as their luxury holiday cottages.

When the new owners of Great Eckworthy moved down to this area of Devon, they knew they wanted to work with an agency who understood the tourism industry like the back of their hand. In other words, Mihi were the perfect fit! With no existing website, they needed a team to create something sleek and sophisticated from scratch.

And the mission was a success, don’t you think?

Their reputation means that their work takes them way beyond their base in Swansea, just as ours does from our little office location near the Tamar. That’s actually how they got in touch with us; they were facing some SEO problems and were referred on by another agency who knew that we were the perfect fit for them.

Having solved their SEO issues, we then moved on to building their new site. Taking a relatively primitive original version of just five pages, up to one with more than thirty pages full of tree surgery services and advice, will help them rank for even more key phrases, as well as reach more people in the process.

This one really has been a win, win, win!

And we know exactly where we want to stay when we finally make it to East Anglia…in a converted windmill of course! The stunning 7 storey Old Mill at Big Stay Norfolk is the perfect place to take the whole family.  The quirky circular bedrooms in the mill tower are beautifully cosy but the 105 square foot living space is just breathtaking.  It opens out onto an epic garden with sweeping views across the Norfolk countryside. Big Stay Norfolk also boasts the historic Hall Farmhouse.  In a quintessential village located in the heart of Norfolk, the farmhouse is another substantial family escape with a 120sqm kitchen opening out onto an acre of garden. 

Better yet, both are pooch friendly so you can explore this lovely corner of the country, with the family hound too.

Take a look around this gorgeous pair over on their new website bigstaynorfolk.com

Here we explain exactly what that means and how you can avoid potentially costly mistakes.

What exactly is copyright?

Whilst we’re not lawyers, we’re going to give you a quick overview; if you take a photo, then you own the copyright to that photo and can choose where it goes and who is able to use it.

You could choose to use it on your own website, or you could allow someone else to use it on theirs if you were happy for them to do so.

The key point is that you have control of the image and you’re happy for someone else to use it.

Where problems arise is if someone uses that image without permission. If you were browsing the internet and found that someone else was using your photo and hadn’t asked, you’d probably be annoyed and rightly so.

And this is where people are being caught out when they (hopefully innocently) use a photo that they don’t have permission to.

When can you use an image and when can’t you use an image?

You can use an image if:

–        You took it yourself.

–        You have asked for and gained permission to use it.

–        You have purchased a license to use it (usually from a stock photography website, such as iStock or Adobe Stock).

How about images you see on Google?

When you do a google image search you will see an option to allows you to select USAGE RIGHTS (you can get to this by tapping on ‘tools’ under the search bar).

There are two types of image copyright you can choose from:

Creative commons licences:

Creative Commons licences are free licences that a rights holder might attach to an image. It lets people know how they can reuse an image without having to go back to the rights holder to ask for their permission.

Commercial or other licences:

Commercial or other licenses: These images have non-Creative Commons licenses and can be from either site available at no charge or commercial sites that require payment.

The latter would need checking in terms of whether or not you can use it, but if in doubt, simply don’t.

What happens if you use someone’s photo without permission?

If they find that you have been using their image then you’ll likely receive an email from a company such as Alamy, who will detail the page and place you’ve used the image without permission. This will also include a fee they would like you to pay in compensation. This fee can run into hundreds of £’s, so the key point here is never to take images unless you have permission, have bought them or have taken them yourself.

Please note this article is not providing legal advice for image copyright and is only an introduction to the topic area. Always seek professional legal support should you wish to discuss or learn more about this subject.

Well, that’s exactly what’s happening right here in the South West! The scientists at Trelonk Wellbeing and the University of Plymouth have been taking crops and plants that have been grown for centuries across our green and pleasant land and putting them to real use; lavender, borage and sunflower (to name just a few) are all being put through their paces in the lab and going on to make a real difference to people’s daily lives.

So where does MiHi come in? Although we probably can’t help you sleep, what we can do is get the word out about this innovative brand. Having previously worked with a London-based agency, Trelonk teamed up with MiHi to build the second iteration of their website, which allows you to understand the right mix of products for you and buy them online.

As with all of our sites, we’ve included plenty of SEO work to enable the brand to reach further, as well as our unique understanding of ecommerce to increase conversion.

We’re looking forward to sampling some of the products in the future, but for now you can take a look at their site here: trelonkwellbeing.com

Located on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Ekopod is the perfect place to get away from it all and get a little closer to the nature that surrounds us in this part of the world. Having taken over the business in 2017, brother and sister team Matt and Rachael welcome guests from across the country (and even further afield) to stay in their four gorgeous geodomes, two spacious safari tents or their glamping pod (complete with stunning starlight views), all year round. 

Each pod is set in its own private area of the site, so wether you’re looking for a romantic couples break or a fun family holiday, there’s a slice of Cornish countryside with your name on it. Even four-legged friends are welcome to any of their pods and with so much to do in the local area for guests and their dogs, your pooch will enjoy the break as much as you will! 

The perfect Cornwall break for families…

When you and your family arrive at your pod, you’ll be greeted by comfy beds, beautiful bedding and everything you need to relax after your travels. Make sure to help yourselves to the complimentary pack of cookies, fresh milk, cheese, crackers, tea, coffee and hot chocolate too and find luxury toiletries from local business Kitty’s Herbery.

The four-legged friends dream…

If you’re away with your pooch, then the Ekopod site nestled in the stunning Tamar Valley is the perfect area to explore together. There are 75 square miles of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) surrounding your pod and plenty of dog friendly walks and beaches close by, so you can both roam to your hearts content. 

You can find out more about dog friendly stays… ekopod.co.uk/glamping-with-dogs

The couples romantic Cornish stay…

Do you fancy running away for a romantic getaway? Well, each of the pods at Ekopod are set up to offer the best romantic experiences. With warm baths, large comfortable beds and gorgeous wood burners to keep you and your partner warm with a glass of wine under the Cornish starlight. You’ll have your own private terrace to enjoy your time together overlooking the beautiful Tamar Valley with a BBQ or picnic in the great outdoors.

The ideal getaway for groups…

For all the large family and friend groups out there, Ekopod is the perfect place to get together and enjoy some down time or celebrate an occasion. Each pod may be private, but close enough to enjoy time together, visit local attractions, listening to the sounds of birdsong and gaze up at the Cornish stars. If you need it, your hosts at Ekopod will be happy to assist you with your group booking and any catering required, even organising group activities like morning yoga, to help make your visit stress free. 

Although their ethos is a relaxing break away, Ekopod know some groups like to destress over a few drinks with friends and a party atmosphere. It is expected to respect the local beauty, the site and other relaxing guests. However, you can exclusively book the entire site for a celebration like a special birthday or a hen, so you can enjoy your break without having to worry about affecting the experiences of others staying around you.
