1) welcome

websushi's latest addition to the family - a fully marked-up Smart car!The first three months of 2007 have been incredibly busy, and we've been working hard on a number of client websites, along with developing our new ecommerce package, designed to make it easy for businesses to start selling online. Our featured case study below looks at one implementation for a busy swimming pool and pool accessories company.

It's with pleasure we announce the latest edition to the websushi family! Thanks to Elementary Signs, our little smart car cannot be missed! It is already turning heads in Guildford, and if you see it, please do come and say Hi.


2) featured case study - outdoor leisure direct

The Outdoor Leisure Direct websiteOutdoor Leisure Direct required a new ecommerce store to enable them to sell their swimming pools, accessories, inflatable boats and other leisure equipment.

websushi created a technical specification for the site, along with visuals based on our understanding of the client's requirements. Once agreed we set to work to develop a site which was easy to navigate, and made it easy for visitors to the site to make a purchase.

"The service we received from websushi exceeded our expectations. The project was incredibly smooth, with a high level of communication. The team were friendly, supportive and used their vast skills bank to create a site that completely matches our needs. We will never need to look for a web design team again!"
- Matthew Conridge, Outdoor Leisure Direct
