A website you can keep making your own

When you log in, the useful bits are brought together: recent enquiries, follow-ups and a simple view of what’s happening on the website.

It means you can spot something that needs your attention without having to dig through several different systems first.

If you add a service, start covering another area or want to change a business detail, you can update it through Trade Studio. The same goes for a new project, offer or photograph that deserves a place on the site.

The design stays consistent while the content can keep changing with the business.

When somebody contacts you through the website, their message is saved in Trade Studio along with the details they provided. You can add a note, record what happens next and keep track of anything you want to follow up.

If you’re out working when an enquiry comes in, it’ll still be there when you have time to come back to it.

The media library keeps your website photographs together, ready to use on service pages, projects and galleries. You can upload, rename, crop and organise them without preparing everything in another program first.

Trade Studio also creates web-friendly versions of the images so they’re practical to use on the site.

You can see which pages people visit, how they found the site and which services are getting attention. It’s a useful bit of context when you want it, without needing a separate analytics setup for the basics.

The main search information is kept there too, including page titles, descriptions and sitemap details, so it isn’t hidden away when something needs updating.

Trade Studio is part of the website package, so there isn’t a separate monthly Trade Studio subscription waiting for you after launch. You can keep using it to update the site, add projects and look after enquiries.

If you’d rather have a hand with supported updates later on, optional annual maintenance is available, but it’s there if you want it rather than something you have to take.
