SunSeeker Doors' new website: fast, mobile-friendly, easy to use

At The BPc, we have been designing websites for clients since the last century! There have been many changes in that time, as internet use expanded from universities and businesses to people shopping from their own homes and engaging in social media.

This is the third website we have developed for UK Bi Folding Doors manufacturer, SunSeeker Doors spanning nine years, with each new website offering significant improvements over its predecessor.

There are two major factors that determine how websites are built now: providing a discerning public with the information they demand and the dominance of the Google search engine.

SunSeeker Doors' latest website is based on the WordPress Content Management System (CMS) which means that clients are able to add/edit/delete content within their websites with basic training notes - no specialist knowledge needed. Some of our clients continue to use The BPc to update content for them, for a variety of reasons: they may be too busy or they trust to our experience, which makes updates quicker and, therefore, ultimately affordable.


As a result of various Google tests, we also know that the website is mobile friendly and compares favourably in speed tests.

Here are some of the features you will see when viewing www.sunseekerdoors.co.uk:

• Large images enables detailed views;
• Easy to use photo gallery of installations;
• Video demos - how doors open and close;
• Mobile-friendly Quotation Request form;
• Service Request form for existing clients;
• Testimonials;
• On non-mobile devices, when you hover over the types of doors listed in the top menu and images are displayed so that you can choose the style of door you want information on.

We also write about case studies and create articles relating to home improvement which we post on their website blog pages approximately once a month.

New Website for Retro VW Camper Holidays in France

Many years ago, we provided SEO advice on a new website for SunHatFrance, run by Jeff and Liz, who rented out a small number of mobile holiday homes in Provence, France. Some of the mobile homes have now been replaced by fully restored and refurbished retro VW camper vans, available to hire for holidays travelling around Provence from 2015.

A new website for the new venture is now live! New photographs of the two remaining mobile homes, 'Style' and 'Traditional' have been included as well as initial images of the first VW campervan to be completed, 'Cassie'. Over the next few weeks, more photos of Cassie will be taken and uploaded and, as the other campervan 'Joe' is completed, a selection of photos will be snapped and uploaded!

The holiday website is ready to view now, with image galleries showing the accommodation, booking availability calendars for both mobile homes and campervans, testimonials from 'happy campers' (families and couples), contact information and forms plus a section Places to Explore, which will be added to regularly.

So far Places to Explore include:

• Aix-en-Provence
• Verdon Gorge
• St. Tropez
• Local Villages of Provence
• Vineyards of Provence
• Monaco / Monte Carlo
• Beaches of the Côte d’Azur

Hopefully, these hints and insights will help you to plan your holiday.

The website has been built using the WordPress Content Management System, which means that website owners, with a modicum of training and support, will be able to edit content and update information, such as Places to Explore around Provence and the Côte d'Azur in the South of France. We've also added a translation option for a number of languages.

We can also provide SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and/or include an SEO tool to assist with Google ranking. We can include Google Analytics so that you can see how many people visit your site (and much more!) and we'll set up and link your social media.

Small UK Company First To Develop Innovative Door Technology - Again.

Our client, SunSeeker Doors, has been manufacturing bi folding doors from its factory unit just off the M1, 30 miles North of London, for more than ten years. The company designed a slimline bi-folding door-frame in aluminium and they powder-coat the frames at their premises, offering a selection from hundreds of colour options.

In the past five years, they have added other door styles to their product range, notably single-glazed Frameless Glass Doors with tempered glass, suitable as internal room dividers or external doors on out-buildings (e.g. swimming pool); this was followed by Frameless double-glazed and Ultra-Slim patio doors, all of which are opened using a slide and pivot action, all of which are fully retractable.

Door designers had all but given up on reducing the frame-widths on bi folding doors. They said it couldn't be done. Until SunSeeker Doors announced their 2cm SuperSlim Bifold, this week.

When two doors are together, the combined frame-width where they meet is known as a sight-line. Sightlines on other bi-folding doors are usually 160mm or more. On SunSeeker SuperSlim bi-folds (and on their UltraSlim slide-and-turn and their double-glazed Frameless Glass doors) the sightlines are 38mm - only 25% of traditional frame-widths.
