Recently completed bespoke website development for Dovetail Architects; a large architectural firm based in Brentwood, Essex.
Phuse designed and built a new website which includes a projects/portfolio section. The website allows the client to add new projects and update existing projects through the website CMS administration.
The quick and intuitive portfolio interface allows the website to be used as a marketing tool during meetings to showcase Dovetail's architectural services to prospective clients.

Did you know that audiences are 10 times more likely to engage with your website if you have video content, or that 71% of online marketers say that conversion rates from video outperform any of their other content?
Those are just some of the facts and figures that are making business owners take notice of this marketing phenomenon, and use video in their marketing strategy.
Millions of people in the UK watch online video
When it comes to reaching your target audience, no other marketing format does better than video. YouTube alone reaches more than one billion visitors every month, and in the UK one in three people watch an online video each week, there are also other popular platforms like Vimeo. That might not sound like much at face value, but it equates to 20 million people a week. Imagine having a share of those statistics.
And video isn’t just something for the big companies. More and more small businesses are using video in their marketing campaigns. From fun and memorable explainer videos that use animated characters to tell a story, to whiteboard videos and product videos, there is so much choice available to businesses looking to capitalise on video marketing.
Done in 60 seconds
With video you can say so much more and in less time than you could with a page of written content. And it's more entertaining, too! Your visitors don't want to wade through pages and pages of text, so don't put them through that. You can say more with video in 60 seconds than you ever could with text, so why not put video to work for you? At Phuse Media, we have helped many of our clients to realise the true marketing power of video, and you can see some of our most recent video production work here.
Video engages more senses, and enables you to use more mediums to capture the attention of your visitor. How many ads have you been moved by in the past? How many ads have led you to purchase a product or service? It’s all about understanding your target audience, and delivering a message that they will respond to. What’s more, video is easy to digest and in 60 seconds you can persuade a potential customer to get in touch, find out more, or buy your product.
Reach out to a wider audience
One of the biggest advantages of video marketing is that it gives you the ability to reach a wider audience - millions of people if you want to. The return on investment with video is huge, especially when you consider a video can go viral and gain millions of views in a matter of days. This isn’t rare anymore, and if you use a great idea, you could have a viral phenomenon on your hands.
Longer visits
Another great advantage of using video is that it makes people stick around longer on your website, social media page or YouTube channel. They are also more likely to remember your message because it engaged more of their time and senses. In a few seconds you can get across your wonderful idea, the benefits of your product or the story of your company and really make an impact.
Good for SEO too
Of course, if you are publishing your video on your website, you need to attract people to your website to view it. When used in the right way, video can be a very powerful form of content and make an excellent contribution to your SEO strategies. The result is that more people are able to find your website, and once they are there watch an intriguing and persuasive video that will hopefully convert them into a paying customer.

Here at Phuse Media, we focus a lot of our attention on Google SEO, and helping our clients to improve their search engine rankings. We also often find ourselves explaining the importance of using Google , Google’s social media network. The jury might be out when it comes to Google ’s value for personal users, but for business users the platform is a great way to reach more potential customers.
Google works hand in hand with Google Search, and that’s really something to take note of. Google offers Google for Business services that can help you to achieve higher ranking search results by providing key business information such as location and directions, reviews, photos, opening hours and much more. This information appears on search pages, and ensures you stand out, and that potential customers can learn as much as possible about you at a glance. Google also allows you to promote discounts, blog posts, special offers and other content you want to appear.
Sure, many people use other search engines, but we all know that Google is by far the most popular. It therefore makes a lot of sense to use the social media platform offered by the search engine giant. One of the biggest benefits of adding Google to your marketing strategy is its SEO value. By adding your business information to Google , you are more likely to rise above your competitors when it comes to location-based searches.
Google also allows you to add images, and so if you’re proud of your headquarters, or you want to showcase your products when your business appears on a search page, you can add those images easily. Users often feel much more comfortable using a company that has an obvious business address, or a strong presence on Google.
So, once you have your Google page set up (click here to register and get started with Google Plus), it's time to find people and invite them to follow you. There are a number of ways you can do this:
Once you have built a following through Google Circles, you can start to target your followers by looking at what they are discussing and responding to those discussions, either in word form or improving your products or services. What used to be said behind closed doors is now being said online, and whilst this can be good and bad, it’s great for businesses looking to get an insight into customer views and behaviour. Google can give you that insight, and it’s just one more way to build a following.
More and more consumers rely on reviews before making a choice about a business. With Google you can earn reviews from your customers and publish these alongside your business details in search results. This is a great feature that will show web users your track record immediately, and before they even reach your website.
In such a busy marketplace online, it’s essential to stand out from your competition, and Google is another great way to do this. Whether you are already using other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, or you are looking to get started, we can help. Speak to us today and see what we can do to promote and grow your business using the latest technology.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do here at Phuse Media, which is why we take the web design brief phase of your project very seriously. Not only does a good brief help us to plan and deliver your project on time and to your exact specification, but it also ensures you get the best return on your investment in digital marketing.
One of the most common problems our customers face is that they don’t always know what they want, especially if they have never used web design services before. That’s where our expertise comes in and we are always on hand to offer advice and expertise.
It’s really important that this stage of the project is handled in the right way, and so we thought we’d put together some of the key criteria we discuss when devising a design brief with our clients. Of course, these guidelines isn’t set in stone and we offer a complete bespoke service tailored to your exact requirements.
Before we work through your brief with you, it’s good for us to get an idea of the budget you have in mind.

We’re always open and honest about our pricing and we think you will be delighted with the quote we give you.
Your website is often the first interaction your potential customers will have with your brand. When it’s so important to make a first impression you need to ensure your website gives your users the best experience. Very often, a client will build a website to suit their needs, but how often do they visit or use their own website? Hardly ever. Instead, try putting yourself in the shoes of your potential visitors and imagining what they expect to gain from your website.
Here are just some of the ways you can ensure a pleasant and worthwhile user experience:
