The Garden Kitchen, Bewdley | Website Design, Brand Identity and Ongoing Support

The Garden Kitchen, Bewdley came to me with an outdated website, no consistent branding, and no support in place. The brief was broad: build a proper web presence, create consistent printed materials for the café, and take care of it all going forward.

My solution

The starting point was the brand. Working from their existing logo, I developed a full brand palette and applied it consistently across everything the café uses: posters, signage, stationery, and a set of branded policies for in-store staff.

A significant part of the ongoing work is the café’s printed label range. Staff hand-write the name of each item on labels I design and produce. The labels carry the allergen information required by food labelling law, presented clearly and consistently. For a food business, getting this right is not optional.

The website was built from scratch on WordPress, with structured event listings, menus, booking forms, and content areas for promotions and seasonal updates. Events are marked up with structured data so they appear in Google search results when people look for things to do in Bewdley.

I manage their email, hosting, and marketing materials on an ongoing basis. The site runs on fast, reliable managed UK hosting, kept up to date without the café needing to think about it. A full site refresh is planned for later this year, which I will be handling as part of the ongoing relationship.

Results

The Garden Kitchen, Bewdley now has a consistent brand presence across everything a customer encounters, online or in the café. Their events appear in Google search results regularly, bringing people through the door. Commercial engagements through their digital presence have gone from none to around one a week.

What clients say

Darcy Financial Planning

Rather than follow the financial services’ traditional approach to website design, I wanted something a little different to reflect my professional style of delivery as a lifestyle financial adviser. Paul helped us create a unique, user-friendly website to our exact specification. Nothing was too much trouble during the build and Paul has hosted and managed the website for us ever since without any issues. We highly recommend his services and expertise!

Eight years ago I decided to create a blog to share my experiences as a novice dog owner. I’ve been using Paul’s services over the years for clients and he’s never let me down, so enlisted his help to create and host a simple blog. Since then it has transformed into a comprehensive website. It’s been regularly updated to incorporate the latest technology to make it very easy to manage myself, with Paul always on hand to assist with tweaks and suggestions. Paul is a real expert in his field and explains everything in clear and simple terms. He’s my go-to person for all things tech!

As the clerk to the trustees/manager I could not be happier with the service from Paul. From the very start, he walked us through the entire process with patience and clarity, making sure everything made sense to us. He understood exactly what our charity needed and helped us save valuable funds by guiding us through Non-Profit Microsoft services. Nothing was too much trouble and he is always there when we need support. We are so grateful to have someone so reliable and knowledgeable helping us make the most of our online presence. We will be using Paul to create our website in the near future. We highly recommend him.
