Coving and Cornice Makeover

Hello again all.

Well what a week it’s been, first we had Fathers day on Sunday, then we have been rushed off our feet with the Chandelier Company and now we are busy preparing a new news system for our international websites.

At the moment we have some 30 international variations of our product lines, with 10 in the local countries language. As you can imagine it’s not easy to keep these websites up to date with the latest information, and that’s where I’ve been busy helping out.

Today I was preparing a system which would allow us to keep track of all our news posts from one area, allowing for a quick translation of our news posts, while making sure all the information given is relevant to the website where it is being published. We shall have to wait till next week to see what the staff thinks of the system, let’s hope they like it.

I know I went on about this last time, but I want to do it again because its something we are very proud of here in Bonds. We have recently released 10 international websites, completely translated into their mother tongue. So far we have our Coving English, Coving French, Coving Portuguese, Coving Spanish, Coving Italian, Coving German, Coving Swedish, Coving Danish and our Norwegian Coving website. In the future we are looking at expanding our international base, and ask you for your comments. Please either email me directly on dave@bondscorporate.co.uk or visit the contact area.

Lets hope this sunshine stays (although I’ve heard we can expect rain over the weekend)

All the best

New Coving sites, Search Features and North Wales Weather…

Hello everyone,
Sorry it’s been so long since my last blog entry. I’ve been busy helping Grant set up the international plaster websites. Last time I told you about our French version of Bonds Plaster Mouldings, but we now have our German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese websites to add on top! All these websites have been translated into their countries language which, believe me, took poor Grant, Ruth and Lynne hours to do!

Also another reason I haven’t been able to write a blog post for a few weeks is because I’ve been busy programming our brand new search feature for the Chandeliers Company website. The new search feature allows users to deep search our product range, with the option to search by size, width, diameter, price, number of lights .etc.

The search feature was created to answer the growing comments we have been receiving from our customers. We offer over 1,500 different chandelier products, so finding the correct one for any person can be a challenge. Customers would contact us after using our website, and ask for a more specific search. Let’s say for example a ceiling could only support 30kg and less, well browsing through 1,500 products to find chandeliers lighter then 30kg could be a challenge, but now customers can easily select how heavy they want their chandelier to be and then only products less then 30kg are shown!

On a less formal note, is anyone else confused by the weather we are having at the moment? I don’t know about you guys, but our weather here in North Wales has been up and down all day. Infact yesterday we started with a storm and ended up basking in the sun!

As always you can contact us directly either via email on info@bondscorporate.co.uk or follow the contact details on any of our websites.

Hope you have a good day

Regards
