Against a backdrop of a global pandemic which has seen economies shrink across the world, a newly launched Lancashire based web-design team is supporting small businesses to establish their online presence, through powerful website design that’s not only aesthetically pleasing, but also delivers results.

Brainchild of husband and wife duo Stephen and Stephanie Ashcroft, Fruity Llama provides a comprehensive range of innovative and forward-thinking web services that are specifically tailored to meet the bespoke needs of each individual client.

Opting to focus on beautiful website design and functionality built through the Webflow platform, Fruity Llama has already worked with a number of high-profile local businesses in the Darwen area - including Heritage Envelopes, The Brookside Hair & Beauty Salon, Vincent & Valerie Skincare, Bestpac UK, and S Dawes Weaving.

According to the most recent figures from the Office of National Statistics, the UK’s e-commerce revenue amounted to £693bn, thanks to the most advanced e-commerce marketplace in Europe.

Fruity Llama co-founder, Stephen commented: “With the global pandemic pushing consumers further towards online purchasing, it’s clear that having a digital presence is central to the success of small businesses. Fruity Llama can provide a comprehensive design and build service that will help small businesses establish their online space faster, thanks to designs that work as well as they look.”

Stephen continued: “Having a visually appealing website means nothing if you haven’t got the visitors to appreciate it. At Fruity Llama we utilise our range of experience and technical skills to help local businesses rank higher on Google. Our Search Engine Optimisation will ensure your website is attracting more customers to support your growth and sales, much more effectively than conventional approaches.”

As a platform for new website builds, Fruity Llama chooses to use Webflow, thanks to the ability to add, modify or remove content quickly and easily. With a system that’s intuitive and easy for all business owners to use directly, Fruity Llama clients can avoid incurring significant future fees with developers, each time they require an update.

Stephen added: "We love using Webflow as a platform, the design possibilities are endless. However, we review every project and pick a suitable platform based on our clients specific needs and goals. Sometimes we use Shopify or WordPress to achieve the best results possible."
