What We Did
As Caroline was looking for a website with a quick turnaround, she choose our 'Quick Launch' package enabling her to get a website published in a time frame to suit her needs.
After discussing the best theme options we selected the Genesis Author Pro theme which is specifically designed for authors. Over the two build days we uploaded Caroline's conten and configured the home page, menu, etc. This process enabled us to show Caroline the basics of WordPress so that she would be able to manage it herself going forward once the website was published.
Finally, once everything had been uploaded, we were able to customise the theme to coordinate with the branding of her books and give her website the individuality and polish she was looking for.

The Brief
Cambridge based author, historian and archivist Caroline Shenton approached us for a website to showcase her collection of historical books and promote her public speaking and consultancy work.
Client Feedback
Jo refreshed my website with new branding, giving it a much sharper, more professional look. She also spring cleaned behind the scenes and tied up a number of tekkie loose ends that had been really annoying me. She was very easy to work with and great value. I'm delighted with the new site, and it's already resulted in a lot more enquiries about consultancy and event bookings, which was my main aim.

"When we decided to create the Cambridge Food Collective, I spoke to a number of web developers but I have a long term relationship with Callia Web that drew me back for a number of reasons. Jo and her team are creative, flexible and want to get under the skin of the idea to really make the site look and function beautifully. They have a can do attitude and I was able to bounce ideas off the wall with them till we found the best design we wanted.
"The team were proactive in sourcing ideas, creating design layouts and implementing the functionality we wanted.
"I know that we would get value for money by working with Jo. Finding out that we are a finalist in the Cambridgeshire digital awards, as well as all the wonderful feedback we have had from site visitors on the design and ease of use of the site, has been great to hear.
"We feel we have got a site to be proud of. Jo knows me well enough to know that when I am ready to start tinkering on it, she will be called on to help again!" Nazima Pathan - The Cambridge Food Collective - December 2016
