The social media suite enables the site owners to schedule regular unique post within the site. A learning suite with member badges, file downloads, gallery and comprehensive news suite make HAPi the happy horse space we hoped for and so much more too.
Marketing Toolbox
A Creative Studio collaboration
This was where community development started for Creative Studios. Developed with the support of Keele Universities MCIL program, the aim was to enable SME's to have all the marketing and business support they needed to function and flourish. This was great fun to work on and we learned a lot. Sadly funding was not secured before the pandemic and the market for this shifted. It is currently shelved but it's too pretty and meaningful for us not to share.
​
Revisiting this space has given us an idea for this, we'll let you know how it pans out.
Kinect Horse
a creative studio client
Kinect Horse is the first equine site we created. The owner of a young business wanted an easy to use space to showcase her unique skills to new clients. She needed it quickly, low cost and a fully function mobile site too.
Playcafe
A Creative Studio client
Playcafe was established to enable local mums and toddlers groups to connect outside of the group sessions. It's a fun but functional space.
We see you
We know how hard running a business is and there's a few things we can help with to make you a hero to your business.
A new business is hard work
Creating and growing a small business is hard work and your website, the window which lets the outside world peek in is important, now more than ever. It's a crowded world online, it's noisy and difficult to know what you need in advance. Finances can quickly be swallowed and changes can be costly and slow.
​
That's why we develop on one platform with backups across a range of others, for security. We've used our build platform for about 15 years, we are partners with them. This enables us to:
​
-
Build fast reducing cost and waste
-
24/7 for tech support or dev issues for everyone's peace of mind
-
Unprecedented addons to create your business your way
-
All at a price you can afford.
You'll need robust systems
There are so many things to do in a business, it can be hard to know what's important and what's not; what can you do better, what can you delegate, outsource or automate. We create and train you work smart. There is a lot of talk about digital transformations, we are all about simplicity, speed and success. If its over complex there is more to go wrong, if its tricky to do it will be slow or not used, and if you have to throw it out in 3 years time or go back to your old system that's not transformative. A Creative Studio site breaks the conventions of what a website usually is enabling systems to live within you site which you never thought you could. This is not just the website functionality but the complete engine room of your small business reducing cost of software, creation and training and making it easy for you to grow.
​
You'll want to connect
Firstly you'll need to know where your customers and peers hangout, wherever that is a Creative Studios site will help you find them, connect with them and send them beautiful things to build your connection. The apps and gizmos you'll need will be surprisingly simple.
​
You can create short videos quickly to display on your site or host on Vimeo, Facebook etc. Go Live from your site and record for future use. Upload, edit and store your photos, files and artwork within your site, for use on the site or in your social media suite, blog, or forum.
​
There is also an amazing image, artwork and video library so if you've not quite got your own images you can use ours.
