Testimonials
Most of our clients find us either through the search engines or from other client recommendations. We have NEVER needed to use paid Internet Advertising or email marketing to market our search engine optimisation services. We rely on natural search engine optimisation to be near the top of the search engine rankings for the keyword phrases that matter (which is not just 'search engine optimisation').
Client Recommendations
The following are a selection of comments from our website design and Internet marketing clients.
Website design and search marketing
For the record I think that you have done a great job for us todate, I greatly appreciate your efforts and hope to continue working with you in other areas..

... I seem to be getting enquiries from foreigners and bookings so what ever you are doing is working! just thought i would let you know, its nice to get foreign enquiries at last! Thanks..
Marie Carnell, Looe and Polperro Holidays, 3rd April 2010
Having increased booking significantly from the UK by natural search we suggested increasing these further by using targetted paid advertising, particularly for the Dutch and German markets as many Dutch and/ German tourists enjoy visiting Cornwall.
SEO and website design
The following was received by one of our clients in response to their website:
Website – fabulous – I personally rarely use Google to source new team building ideas, but you came up at the top of the search engine list and your website is very good. I especially like your personal profiles and the testimonials given my enquiry was not via a referral or recommendation...
Sue, client of Venturis Kitchen, 18th March 2010
We built the venturis-table.com to be very search engine friendly and keeping to a user-friendly style. We provide ongoing Internet Marketing to maintain good website visibility for corporate team building activities in the London area.
SEO from Cornish CMS
The following recommendation can be found on LinkedIn under Dr Rachel Cornish's profile.
"I was introduced to Cornish WebServices by a colleague who said that her advice and design work on his web site had brought him to the top of the natural search pages in Google. My web site was not searching well thought graphically it looked 'pleasing'. As it was not pulling in the business it was not 'fit' for its intended purpose, so I approached Rachel to do whatever was necessary (no real constraints apart from modest budget). That was in August and we are now on front page. I had to be part of the solution and writing material for the site was an important task; necessary, but not all that difficult. Rachel also helped on wording here and there, sometimes quite brutal, but usually the 'delete' key was all that was necessary. Now searching high, bringing in customers, job done! .... But Rachel points out that it's never 'done'; so it's a bit of a treadmill, but it works. Thanks. David"

Search Engine Optimised website development
Hi Rachel,
I want to thank you for your initial publicity work getting ready for our new site launch. We have recently come up the listings on natural search and we are looking forward to getting to page 1 soon. This week we had a prospect come to us because we were on page 2 of his search and he was looking for someone local to support his Maximizer system. We are in Bedford and his offices were in Cambridge and Milton Keynes; a perfect match! He had read up about what we offer and how we are different, so before the call he felt he already knew us. We got the business on the phone. I have always felt that this was the way the web is supposed to work. Thank you.

As a writer of e-campaigns, I’ve been asked to work on a wide range of internet marketing software products for a very diverse clientele. I have to congratulate Cornish on putting together one of the most user-friendly, intuitive packages that I have encountered to date. I’ll certainly be recommending this service to my own clients as an integral component of their overall marketing strategy. Thank you!

Congratulations on the website. It's great to have such a resource and here at SAMS I shall find it extremely useful. I will also make sure that folk on our Northern Argentina mailing lists are aware of its existence. I will provide a link from the SAMS site..
Again, great work....

Than you for sorting out the mistake I made on the Site, I'm very grateful to you for dealing with this so promptly.
If we can correct an error immediately we will. The above example was up and running correctly within 10 minutes of receiving the phone call. With a comprehensive set of website backups and skilled designers or programmers available most of the time, we can usually restore errors introduced by clients quickly.
Website design & usability
We invited people visiting the Mentoring Web Site to evaluate the Site and feedback with their comments. The positive response to the design has been overwhelming, with visitors remarking on the layout, colour scheme and composition of the whole Site with the Home page providing a warm welcome. Additionally and equally important visitors find the Site easy to navigate and very quickly find the area in which they have most interest. In developing the Site I have been very impressed by the support I have received on a regular basis from both you and Dom.
Thank you to Cornish Web Services for a job very well done.
Les Ellis, Inspire, January 2008

Web Marketing - SEO and PPC
Many thanks to Rachel at Cornish WebServices for taking the stress out of our web marketing. no longer do we have to keep abreast of every new tactic and scheme of companies such as Google to extract even more money from us. She really knows her subject and regularly comes up with ways to improve what we are already doing..

We've made the final 3 for the Hantsweb awards! This is great news and all thanks to you.
Amanda Bowens, ladder4learning, August 2007 (although we think the last part rather generous as Amanda has done a great job at expanding the website we created in 2005). This shows what a client can do to expand a moderately sized well written website into a large useful Internet resource.

I would like to thank you for the brilliant work on the Visage site which proved to be the main interest on our stand at the Kent 20/20 Exhibition as you will see in the attached picture.

Our Thanks to Rachel Cornish at Cornish WebServices for her tremendous work in getting the site on-line so quickly and in time to be show-cased at yesterdays Kent 2020 Business Show where Visage had a strong presence."
Rob Chambers, Channel Camber of Commerce, April 2007
Cornish WebServices designed and created the Visage Employers website within very tight timescales (one week). The website was the final deliverable in a project to work collaboratively with businesses to develop this online toolkit. Earlier in the year Cornish WebServices worked with Robert Chambers (Channel Chamber of Commerce) on a website designed to help develop content for the above website.
Website hosting & management
Since the new website hosting took effect I've received more calls than usual. Is this something you have done?
Simon Grant, February 2007
In response: When hosting / maintaining websites we only do so provided we can make websites more accessible, and this makes them more visible to search engines..
Search engine optimised website design
Website design in a competitive market aimed specifically at good search engine rankings.
I am ringing to tell you that we have already have several enquiries from Google - yet I thought this was supposed to take 3 months.
Miles Richards, January 2007
In response: We do sometimes get websites onto the top page of Google within a few weeks, but this is an unrealistic expectation in most markets.
Website Redesign
Website redesign to include secure investor area and admin facility to update fund prices and documents.
We are particularly proud of the look of the new site. It is not only easy to navigate but we feel has a professional modern approach and Cornish WebServices who designed it for us are to be congratulated .

Search engine optimisation for a small business website 1
Just to let you know that I am presently coming up 11th on a Google search for Pharmacy Consulting. Pleased with that-thanks.
Richard King, Pharmacy Consulting - April 2005
Before we undertook some search engine optimisation work, this website could not be found anywhere at all on Google or the other major search engines. Within 2 days of us completing the work, Pharmacy Consulting were on the top page of results for both MSN (ranked 1st or 2nd) and Yahoo. Within a few months Pharmacy Consulting was listed high on Google for longer keywords phrases and search engine rankings have continued to improve. The content and ongoing search engine optimisation are now handled by the client.
Search engine optimisation for a small business website 2
I did a Google search yesterday on art online hampstead and came up on page 2.. Not bad! Quite an improvement on "site unknown".
Ben Greenstein, Art Online Hampstead - April 2005
Website design and marketing of a small website for a visitor attraction in Canterbury, Kent.
Cornish WebServices redesigned the Eastbridge Hospital website in 2003 to attract more visitors to the website and to increase visitor numbers at the historic Almshouse. Visitors to the website have increased significantly (by over 1500%) and more importantly, the actual visitor numbers to the tourist attraction have also increased.
Since you created our website visitor numbers to Eastbridge have increased significantly and at a time when other attractions in Canterbury have witnessed fewer visitors. Save for the website we have done nothing else to raise awareness and so the logical conclusion must be the website is primarily responsible for the increase in visitors. We are therefore enormously grateful to you for all the help you gave setting up the site and also for continuing to monitor its progress.
Nicholas Andrews, Trustee of Eastbridge Hospital
For this tourist website we have achieved these results purely by designing an accessible website and ensuring good links with relevant tourist directories.
Accessible website design of a larger website for a consumer association.
Cornish WebServices redesigned the website for VLV in 2004 to make it easier for the client to maintain, accessible to all and update its appearance. This website has over 100 pages, most of which now comply with the latest UK DDA legislation. VLV received the following comment from one of their blind members
Bearing in mind that I am totally blind, and use a twelve-year-old computer, I am pleased to tell you that all parts of the website which I thought would be of interest to me were successfully negotiated, including the reply option for this e-mail. Well done VLV!
Peter W, VLV Member
Visitors to the VLV website have more than doubled in the last 6 months to over 5,500 per month. This again is purely as a result of having an accessible website and no PPC advertising has been needed.
Other client comments
Kinn McIntosh, Publisher (for website selling online books)
I think the number of hits the site is getting is quite remarkable - many congratulations.
Les Ellis, KAB (for email/phone support for website maintenance)
Many thanks for you prompt, as always, response.
