Happy Birthday To…Us!

It’s official, Wilkes Wood is now 4 years old, and what a fantastic 4 years it has been. The past twelve months have been really transformative to the business, so I thought I’d quickly break down some of the highlights…

To kick things off, we welcomed Tom into the business – he’s had such a massive impact on the value we’ve been able to provide our clients that I’m not sure how we were able to cope without him.

Through Tom, we’ve been able to improve our e-commerce offering, benefiting greatly from his wealth of experience across platforms, strategy, and delivery. Tom has his own successful e-commerce stores, all on Shopify, so knows the space inside and out – who better to have on hand when you’re making the move online?

We’ve also added comprehensive SEO services to our offering, which we absolutely love. It means we’re able to support clients on a long-term basis and really drive results from their website, and the impact it’s had on our client’s organic traffic has been wonderful to see.

Here’s a blog post we’ve written all about SEO and what it can do for your business.

In other news, I’ve managed to complete my MSc degree in Digital Marketing and Data Analytics, graduating with merit. I’ve written a bit more about this experience here if you’re interested in what I learned and how I’m using this knowledge to bring benefit to our clients. 

We’ve also really kicked off our LinkedIn presence, something we’re finding great enjoyment in as we get to follow clients, and industry news and keep in the loop with the local community. You can follow Wilkes Wood here and my personal page here.

It was about time we turned our attention to our own website too, which has now been updated with a new version aiming to provide a much better user experience on our blog, which we have great plans for, as well as sitewide improvements to improve accessibility.

Of course, the real highlight here is another year working with you – our valued clients. We’ve worked on some fantastic projects over the last twelve months – take a look at our portfolio to see a bit more about them.

We couldn’t do any of this without you trusting us as your web and design partner. 

So, from all of us, thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you…

Whilst we’ve had a fantastic year of growth and development, we know the last year has not been easy for small businesses and that some of you have had a really tough time keeping your heads above the water.

We just wanted to take a moment to wish you the very best for next year, wherever you fit into the picture.

We hope the festive period has given you the time and space you need to reflect on the last 12 months, so you can return energised and determined as ever to make 2023 a productive and successful year for you, your family, and business.

For all of our clients, friends and network, thank you for supporting us – we wouldn’t be here without you, and we hope we’ve done our bit to return the favour.

We wish you a happy new year.

See you in 2023!
