Giving away 8 websites to charities

Here at Bloomtools we have just had our eighth birthday, our business is growing and doing well, and we are hearing some great feedback on results our clients are achieving... so each of our offices are giving away a free website to a registered charity. In the true "Pay It Forward" tradition we would love to celebrate our success by supporting those who are doing such good work in our community. If you know of any worthy charity who needs to update their presence online, or start one - let us know below, so we can include them for consideration.

Client Spotlight - MDH Beef

Running around 175,000 head of cattle on an area close to 3.4 million hectares takes a lot of work - and it’s work that’s foremost in the mind of MDH Beef owner/operators the McDonald family of remote Brightlands and Devoncourt Cattle Stations, near Cloncurry, about 160km south-east of Mt Isa in Queensland’s north. Genevieve McDonald, who lives at Brightlands Station, says that the new website is predominantly used for the recruitment of staff but it is also aimed at promoting the McDonald’s beef brands and cattle operations to national and international meat buyers.Genevieve says, “MDH had an old and tired website so while we were looking for a more professional-looking and striking website, we also needed one that was easy to update and had a bit more function to it. “With the new Bloomtools website, I can make changes when I need them, which is great for our business,” she says. “The family all love the new web pages and are so pleased with how it has turned out. It has made a big difference being able to edit the pages myself when I need to and the graphics are fantastic!”

Client Spotlight - Bathroom Werx

Bathroom Werx is a national franchise system and specialises in providing an alternative to expensive bathroom renovations. Before coming to Bloomtools, Bathroom Werx had a website but it wasn’t getting the results they wanted.The new Bathroom Werx website is now a powerful tool that they use to promote their business. “From one login, we can update our Case Studies manager with our team’s latest projects, blog about our industry, upload gallery images from past projects, upload testimonials from our many happy customers, and even manage our online shopping cart!” says George. The result: “We are now getting more visitors than ever before and visitors are coming back more often, staying longer, buying more frequently and referring others” says George.

Some of the tools require you to change the way you type in your query. For instance, if you want to search for all the synonyms of your search term as well, put the ~ sign immediately in front of your term. Or to get the definition of a word, type “Define” and then the word to produce a list of results that explain your search term. http://www.bloomtools.com/blog/getting-more-out-of-your-google-search
