I mean who wants to visit here? Its like a maze and the lady at reception will tell you a whole load of directions and then open the door and lets you wonder around the whole building to get lost 🤣 she also suggested 5 of us get in the lift together which was only big enough for 2 people and with covid she shouldnt have even suggested this.

Working with Chris and the Macaque team has been an absolute delight.

Communication is really clear, deadlines are always met and the quality of work is brilliant.

We've worked together to create a website that is absolutely perfect for our business (www.oddkincoffee.com) needs and most importantly is super easy to use for our customers.

We have lots more exciting plans for the site in the future and I can't wait to get going on them.

Q&As

7 Qualities of a Great Website
No single aspect of marketing is more important than a quality website, your organisation’s front door. A “good” website isn’t good enough to break through and to convert users into engaged customers and brand ambassadors. What you really need is a great website.

1. Well Designed and Functional
Your site reflects your company, your products, your services and ultimately your brand. So it’s important to be visually appealing, polished and professional. Allow white space, uncluttered layouts with quality photographs and graphics look and let your message shine through.

Equally important, the site must work quickly, correctly and as expected. Build to web standards, proofread rigorously and test regularly for problems with speed or functionality. Every page should always be fast and functional, because any of them could be a potential customer’s first or only impression. Broken, slow, or poorly constructed areas will leave your visitors frustrated and encourage them to leave.

2. Easy to Use
Site visitors are always in a hurry. Don’t make them work for information. User Experience (UX) plays a key role in helping visitors use, understand and stay on your website. Create obvious, logical navigation with clear hierarchy. Use consistent layouts and visual cues for functionality across the site.

Your site should satisfy both ‘searchers’—coming for something specific, and ‘browsers’—just looking. Help users accomplish their tasks quickly with onsite search, and keep them engaged by suggesting related content and minimising dead ends.

3. Optimised for Mobile
Today there are no excuses, your site must look great and work well on any platform. The growth of mobile and tablet devices is not slowing down and you just don’t know what your next visitor will be using. Optimising for mobile will improve both the experience of your visitors and your SEO Rankings.

4. Fresh, Quality Content
Be succinct, interesting and new. Use language that makes sense to your audience—avoid jargon, corporate speak and acronyms.  Visitors don’t want to be deluged by information or put off by poor content. Spell correctly, be accurate, be relevant and update regularly. Blogs and social media posts are a great way to keep content fresh, it will keep visitors engaged and is crucial to your SEO strategy. Keeping things fresh requires commitment but you can’t do without it.

5. Readily Accessible Contact and Location
Your audience won’t chase you down. Make it easy to engage, offer multiple points of contact: phone, email, social media and maybe an easy-to-use contact form. A Google map is a bonus. Above all, ensure that this information is readily available on an easy-to-find contact page—if not every page of your site. This applies as much to offering services as it does to e-commerce sites.

6. Clear Calls to Action
If your site asks nothing of visitors, they will surely do nothing. What is the purpose of your site? Is that purpose clear to visitors? Even informational sites want visitors to read and share articles, follow the company on social media, download toolkits, join mailing lists or learn more about the organization. Include an ask on each page.

7. Optimised for Search and Social Web
It’s not enough to build a nice looking website that’s easy to use. It needs to earn traffic. Otherwise, all that effort in design, UX and content development will be for naught. There are hundreds of rules and guidelines for effective search engine optimisation, here are just a few:

Use page titles and meta tags on every page and alt tags on every image.
Optimise content on your site to align with words real people search for.
Use keywords appropriately in content and links.
Use schema markup in pages for rich snippets and extra optimisation. It's like leaving a trail of snacks for search engines.
Make it as easy as possible for visitors to share your content. Social can drive large volumes of traffic and positively impact your search ranking. Don’t forget obvious sharing links.

1. Describe your business in a few sentences
2. Do you currently have a website? If so, what is/isn’t working for you?
3. What are your goals for this project?
4. Who is your target audience?
5. What specific features do you want on the site?
6. How can we avoid failure?
7. Who are your main competitors?
8. What makes you different from your competitors?
9. What’s the scope of the project?
