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.

I am so pleased I contacted Callia Web as I was looking for some help to design a website for my nutrition business. I had seen a couple of their beautifully designed websites online and was interested to see if they would be able to create something for me as well. I chose the Quick launch Package as I wanted a website that would look professional but could be built fairly quickly, all at a reasonable price and, although I knew roughly the look and feel I wanted, I needed the technical help to put it all together. Jo at Callia Web outlined the process for me with a clear proposal so that I knew exactly the costs and time commitments involved. We had a planning session about a month before we started on the build and she was very clear about I needed to prepare in that time to allow maximum use of the time we had together.
The build afternoons were split into four 2.5 hour online sessions and Jo was great at allowing me time to ponder over the fine detail, for example, which photo to use whilst, at the same time, giving the sessions direction and making sure that all points were covered. She was very patient and coached me through many of the technical aspects of the website build, showing me how to edit pages, photos and blog posts, something that was very important to me as I wanted to be able to manage my website myself on a day-to-day basis. I am delighted with the end result and feel that the vision I had in my mind has come to life on the screen. I would definitely recommend Callia Web and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
