The brief was to restyle the whole site, presenting &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/"&gt;Golds Vehicle Rentals &lt;/a&gt;in a new refreshing and dynamic light. Golds were keen to ensure that the site was simple to navigate and that content could easily be found within a couple of mouse clicks. It was also important to ensure that the site remained search engine friendly and kept it's current search engine rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;The site changes incorporated a new logo and new page layouts, this included the prominent display of telephone number and address as well as key information on types of vehicles offered, areas served and opening times. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 122px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://news.eyespiderservices.co.uk/uploaded_images/golds-rentals-776440.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We built a photo slide show into the home page that cycled through the types of vehicles available to rent (including the full fleet of cars, vans and people carriers). This gives a clear and concise image of the vehicles on offer to anybody visiting the website. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 122px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://news.eyespiderservices.co.uk/other_images/slideshow.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vehicle sections of the site included rates and special offers pages that can be edited and updated by the staff. Other pages detailed the other additional services offered by the company, including &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/contract-hire.php"&gt;contract hire&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/flexi-hire.php"&gt;flexi hire&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/valeting.php"&gt;valeting&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/servicing.php"&gt;servicing&lt;/a&gt;. We also produced a &lt;a href="http://www.goldscarandvanhire.co.uk/meet-the-team.php"&gt;meet the team &lt;/a&gt;page allowing customers to put a face to the name of the golds vehicle rentals staff. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 122px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://news.eyespiderservices.co.uk/uploaded_images/meettheteam-758118.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;If you are looking to hire a vehicle from the Cannock area then we are proud to recommend golds car hire.

There are also further tools for managing &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;e-mail marketing campaigns&lt;/span&gt; as well as a suite of reports for providing website usage statistics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From a technical point of view the website is built upon the &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Microsoft .net platform&lt;/span&gt; utilising Microsoft SQL server as its data repository. It regularly exchanges data with Nationwide Skips internal systems so that data reflected within both systems is synchronised. The website takes advantage of AJAX programming techniques and also incorporates Business Objects &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Crystal Reports for report generation&lt;/span&gt;.
