Case Study - Camp Hillcrest

Website refresh & accommodation booking

Take a Look

Corinna at Camp Hillcrest approached me asking if I could help with some website updates. The site had been built by a well known WordPress hosting company who were not only charging a hefty annual fee for managed hosting, but also not providing adequate support once the site had been launched.

Results:

  • Improved Hosting

    The site was relaunched on an alternative hosting platform, saving hundreds in annual fees at gaining improved customer service at the same time, on a hosting package better aligned to the site’s needs and traffic.

  • Better site management

    With the site’s new custom post structure it is now much easier for Corinna to manage accommodation, activities, reviews and team member information.

  • Reduced Booking Fees

    Direct accommodation bookings via the website means Corinna and her guests can now enjoy lower 3rd party fees and therefore more money in their pocket per booking.

  • Incentivised repeat bookings

    We set up a poster with a QR code link to a form on the website, which automatically sends an email with a discount code and booking links when submitted.

  • Direct Accommodation Booking

    Not only can guests now book directly with Camp Hillcrest via their website, but 3rd party booking calendars can now all be managed in one place – in the WordPress admin area.

  • Pro forms

    The site is now using a superior form plugin than previously – the site has better form integration options and is now free from spam form submissions.

  • Excellent Performance

    PageSpeed insights results:

    • Performance – 99%
    • Accessibility – 97%
    • Best practices – 100%
    • SEO – 100%

  • Macky has built our website and will now also build new one for our sister co. He is our main support for anything website related and words cannot express how amazingly helpful, patient and professional he is. Highly recommended by Forest Retreats and Hill Farm, Tintern.

  • Macky has been great. He took time to understand the (very) old bespoke code and to work out how best to bring it up to date with the latest software and security requirements. He has communicated well throughout the process, and the solutions have been implemented at speed. I recommend Macky to anyone.

  • Macky has supported my business with website improvements on more than one occasion and I have to say he is a pleasure to work with. His expertise, professionalism and ease make him my go-to person for all things website. Thank you, Macky!

  • I have had the fortune of working with Macky through a mutual client of ours on their website. Macky is always really quick to respond when I encounter a glitch with the website and he has endless patience. Macky's guidance is invaluable and I really value him taking the time to explain things to me rather than just fix things.

  • Macky was super professional to work with. I had him do some dev work for me and he ensured he understood the full scope before diving head first into the work and was thorough. To the point he sent me a document after the work was finished of everything that he did and where to find the code references. Would highly recommend working with him and will definitely hire him again in the future!

  • My dad is brilliant, clever, smart and very good person to be working with. He know's a lot more than you think.

FAQ

Some common questions I get

  • What if I need support beyond your 60-day guarantee?

    I offer monthly or annual maintenance and support plans which start at £50 per month. I’ll share all the details on our first discovery call.
  • Are there any tools that you refuse to work with?

    I avoid poorly coded and bloated plugins, themes and page builders, like Divi, Beaver Builder and Elementor. I can suggest alternative options or help you rebuild your site with a page builder like Bricks which produces much cleaner HTML output and is easier to extend for developers.
  • How much are your custom development services?

    My hourly rate is £50 (approx. $65) per hour but I usually price on a per project basis based on the scope and level of work required. For example, custom PHP development will be priced higher than a data migration project for example.
  • Why shouldn’t I hire someone cheaper on Fiverr or Upwork?

    You can! But remember that the price is not the same as the cost. The cost is what you end up paying in the long run, including your time wasted for miscommunications, bug reports, or a complete code rewrite because that person disappeared and their code is a nightmare. It happens so often and you’ll be calling someone like me to come in and fix it all for you. It’s much cheaper to do it right the first time with the right developer.
  • What project management tool do you use?

    I use Basecamp for working with clients, mainly for its ease of use. If we need to work ‘Agile’ in sprints, or on much larger software projects, I am comfortable working in other tools like Jira or Asana and happy to communicate via Slack, or any other service that suits.
  • Once you get started on a project what do you need from me?

    Not much! I’ll need credentials in some cases to clone a current website or to connect to APIs. Otherwise you can carry on running your business while I plan the work required, write the code, test it, troubleshoot and test it again until everything works smoothly.
  • Do you work with Git?

    Yes, I have deep experience with Git and tools like Github. I can help you set up Github projects and also deploy the custom software we build to your web applications.
