Client testimonial:
 The creative solution is beautiful – exactly what we wanted – very clean, scientific, and clear yet colourful. The site acts as showcase for all existing and potential customers.
We have 2.5 times the number of visitors that our old site had. We get a few more enquiries too. We’ve had good feedback and I get the impression that the enquirers we do get seem to have more confidence in using us from the start, having seen the site. 
Joanne France, Business Development Manager, Leicestershire and Staffordshire Scientific Services

J. Pugh-Lewis
Client testimonial:
With 40 years experience in the specialist construction of sportsfields, we needed our website to showcase not only the quality and results of our work, but also all aspects of the construction, fencing, drainage and landscaping we provide.
Studio 2 Online took the time to understand what we were looking for in terms of the design of the website and the detail we wanted. The website they have produced is excellent, especially the clear sharp design and the use of animation and photos that clearly show the range of work we do and the care we take doing it. Visitors can also easily find and then see examples of all aspects of our work and the content management system allows us to update the website quickly and easily.
I would like to thank the team at Studio 2 Online for the first class job they have done
James Pugh-Lewis, Director, J Pugh-Lewis Ltd
Studio 2 Online response:
Good use of photography demonstrates the breadth of work undertaken by the company, its modern equipment and cleanliness of sites during installation. With a crisp interpretation of the company’s logo, the overall impression is of a high-tech operation, raising standards across a wide range of projects.

Huthwaite Roofing Supplies
Client challenge:
Although HRS stocks a broad range of building supplies, both for the building trade and DIY enthusiast, the company’s website was focused entirely on roofing products and was not contributing to growing the business.
Creative Team, Studio 2 Online
Studio 2 Online response:
While subtly maintaining Huthwaite’s roofing heritage, we created a website to help HRS showcase a wider product range to compete more effectively with builders’ merchants. We achieved this without losing Huthwaite's friendly, approachable qualities and alienating DIY enthusiasts who provide a significant proportion of the company's business.

CSL Business Machines
Client testimonial:
CSL are proud of being at the forefront of copier and printer technology for 40 years, so when we approached Studio 2 Online to redesign our website we wanted it to reflect our technical innovation and professional competence. I have to say that what we have received has exceeded our expectations to the degree that I firmly believe this is the best website I have seen in the office equipment arena.
But just as important as the design, I am delighted that visitors to the website have commented on how easily they can identify the product or solution most suited to their needs. This makes the sales process so much easier!
I'm grateful to the Studio 2 Online team for the thorough professional work and support they have provided.
Andy Perkins, Director, The CSL Group
Studio 2 Online response:
Bringing the website in line with sophisticated corporate branding, we simultaneously recreated online the friendly personal service provided by CSL sales staff.
With the key aim of getting potential customers to call CSL for advice, the company needed to present large volumes of technical information in an accessible and user-friendly format.
To help customers quickly identify suitable products based on their particular print requirements, our copywriter wrote a brief synopsis of each product.
Customers can then click for technical specifications if required and ultimately download a brochure for full details. The easy navigation and accessible information not only helps potential customers but also provides a useful online reference tool for sales staff.

Thermo-Floor Underfloor Heating & Cooling
Client testimonial:
The brief for the new Thermo-Floor website was very specific in that we needed to reach two target markets, the professional installer and the domestic user. It also needed to reflect the quality of our product and our expertise, as well as debunking the myths of installing and using underfloor heating.
Studio 2 Online has provided an absolutely fabulous website that effectively meets the different needs of our two target customers. In particular, the use of images, video and animation really enhances the website users experience of what we have to offer. On top of that, the website is simplicity itself to update with news and technical information.
From design to completion Studio 2 Online listened and advised us and the end result exceeds our expectations. We're so impressed we've already referred Studio 2 Online to our marketing agency to use for their other clients.
Neil Evans, Regional Manager, Thermo-Floor (GB) Ltd
Studio 2 Online response:
Using lifestyle photography at the top level to convey benefits and engage consumers, the site then splits into a benefit-led area for consumers, which rebutts potential objections and concerns, and a separate area for professionals, where installation videos and technical data are available.
