Website goes from strength to strength

The award winning May Gurney website celebrated its third birthday on 1 January 2006 - and the project is going from strength to strength.

"2005 was an excellent year for our website,' says Andrew Slater, (left in picture) May Gurney's Head of Marketing and Communications. "Traffic to the site has increased, we have successfully introduced several enhancements - and to cap it all we won the 'best design' category at the Contract Journal Web Awards."

During the past 12 months, average weekly visits to the site have increased by 45%, and homepage hits have increased by 120%.

A facelift was implemented in July 2005 to coincide with the company's rebrand, and a number of business useful enhancements were introduced. An improved archive has made it easier for visitors to locate news about each May Gurney sector, and the introduction of 'related stories' helps achieve the same objective. The careers section has also been significantly improved, and the new site contains much more information about the services offered by May Gurney.

Confirmation of the success of the site came in November 2005, when it won the 'best design' category at the Contract Journal Web Awards. May Gurney was one of only three winners from more than 100 entries to these prestigious awards. Chair of the judging panel, Peter de Monninck, Global Director of Internet Operations at RBI, described the May Gurney site as 'crisp and clean'.

"It's a real achievement to win this award," Andrew Slater said. "It has always been our intention to make our site business useful rather than simply pretty, and this award confirms that our approach is right."
