Mackinder Farms Holiday Accommodation is well served by the motorway network and is within an hour’s drive of Leeds, Hull, Harrogate and the famous Yorkshire Dales, the Wolds and the many historic houses and churches within the county. Last, but by no means least, the ancient city of York is within easy reach either by bus, car or train in less than half an hour.

For more information and to book your holiday, please visit http://www.mackinderfarmsholidayaccommodation.co.uk/

The site comes equipped with a click to call button.Mackinder Farms Click to Call Button

The inclusion of a click to call button is proving to be extremely popular.

The main aim of Drive By Websites is to help our clients in every way possible to make their businesses as successful as we possibly can by utilising new technology as it comes our way and one of these is a “Click To Call” button.

Because they have their Smartphone in their hand, it seems logical that they will give you a call.

According to the Mail Online on the 4th September “We’re A Nation of Smart Phone Shoppers” because visits to retail websites from mobiles has overtaken desktop traffic for the first time”.

Love Your Dog & Love Your Lawn – Check Out Wee Patch Restore

by

It’s been fun designing and building the website for Wee Patch Restore Wee Patch Restore Logo– http://www.weepatchrestore.co.uk/

Wee Patch Restore is a three-in-one spray to mask and repair doggy urine burn on your lawn.

The product defuses the harmful effects of ammonia-rich, grass-burning dog urine.

The three-way spot spray consists of:

  1. A colourant which covers up the unsightly dead lawn patches for immediate visual improvement.Wee Patch Restore Dog
  2. Here’s the science.  Dead grass patches quickly become hydrophobic and repel water. Surfactants reduce the incidence of such water repellent soil which helps to break down and wash out the excess ammonia.
  3. The natural seaweed extract stimulates the microbes that exist in soil.  This will help to break down the excess ammonia quickly and improve the conditions for grass to re-grow.

Wee Patch Restore will dry in less than an hour (obviously, this is very much weather dependent); it’s non-toxic and safe for pets and children and there will be no dietary interfence for your dog.

The site is equipped with a “Buy Now” feature.  There’s FREE DELIVERY (UK mainland)

THE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION TO A FULL-BLOWN E-COMMERCE SITE

There is an alternative solution to investing quite a substantial amount of money to pay for a full-blown e-commerce website when you only have a few products to sell. The affordable solution is what we call an online store.

Introducing Cloud Walking With Hilary

by

The team here at Drive By Websites has had a very nice time working with Hilary Peach to design and Cloud Walkers logobuild her new website – http://www.cloudwalkingwithhilary.com. 

Hilary Peach’s background is in nursing and she has recently opened Cloud Walkers in Knight Street, Pinchbeck.  Her specialities are massage therapy and foot care.

Cloud Walkers’ philosophy is “Achieve harmony between mind, body & soul and well-being will follow”.

If you are suffering from pain and tension, Hilary will help to redress the balance to ease the pain and tension which, in turn, will improve tone and condition within your body.   The benefits of massage are to reduce anxiety, improve your mood and relax.  A massage will contribute to a “feel good” sensation.

For more information in respect of how Hilary can help you, please visit her new website – http://www.cloudwalkingwithhilary.com.

We are delighted that Hilary has included a blog within her website because we feel that the modern Bloggingbusiness approach needs to fully embrace the communicative power of the web.  In our experience, a dedicated News/Blog facility is the best way to do this.  Not only does a blog connect you to your customers – whilst simultaneously updating your social media pages in one go – it also feeds a constant reminder to search engines, like Google, that your website is more up to date and relevant than your competitors.  The inclusion of a blog within your website is highly recommended.
