They engaged me upon embarking on a planned business expansion into Dubai.

Jay Young, the owner of Toulmin, requested a Squarespace website redesign, blog article writing, blog RSS to email publishing and a set of marketing automation campaigns designed to convert visitors to leads and nurture them through targeted emails until they became clients. We also search engine optimized the site to attract local prospects. In 2018 we built a new website for them using a wall layout homepage gallery. They have us update the gallery when new projects are completed. Large full-bleed photographs enable details and consequently the quality of the build to be seen.

The current site was built on a Squarespace template that could only provide her the page layout and formatting she desired with the inclusion of custom code. There were additional problems, including images that were much too large, page names that did not match the content of the page, and an information architecture that made viewing project categories difficult. To solve these problems the site was redesigned using the Brine template. All of the images were resized, allowing the website to load quickly on mobile devices and new project portfolios were created. To help visitors quickly navigate the site, additional page navigation links were added to the footer of the website.")
