FOCUS ON SUCCESS
Our clients vary widely – from commercial steam boiler specialists and rising film production companies, to national turf suppliers and local retailers. The common thread between them all? A passion to move forward and succeed, and a willingness to let us help them on their journey.
Despite a tough remit and tight budget, Brand Clever pulled it out of the bag with the marketing and PR of our films. We continue to benefit from their support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

WEBSITE DESIGN CASE STUDIES
How our website design, build and copywriting services have helped many different businesses.
Steam Boiler Manufacturer
The client’s previous website used outdated and unsupported software and was difficult for users to navigate. We redesigned the site in WordPress (responsive, with CMS) and rewrote the copy from scratch. We also added case studies, news and industry-specific sections to engage users.
Commercial Refrigeration Provider
The client needed a new website that reflected their growth and increasing status, but were struggling to find a website design company that showed an understanding of their business and industry – until they found us. We have worked with many companies in HVAC so were able to build a website that would attract the company’s ideal clients. Due to restricted budget, we transferred much of the copy from their previous website onto a brand new responsive website with a modern design.
Garden Centre Retailer
The client’s previous website was failing to have an impact on in-store sales. We built a new website from scratch (including full copywriting) using a bright, welcoming design, and packed the website full of information that the client’s target customers would find useful and interesting. We continue to update the website with weekly and monthly posts (integrated with an email marketing campaign) ensuring return visits. The garden centres’ turnover has increased substantially since working with us.
Materials Handling and Cooling Specialists
The client’s website design required updating, but the client had very little time to provide input. The site also had to be up and running with just two weeks’ notice (before a major exhibition). We built wrote copy for the entire site, including all product pages, and rebuilt the website in a responsive, modern design. The site has a free integrated CMS, so can be easily updated by the client as and when they want to.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU
