The booking journey was a central part of the build. We integrated Bookeo scheduling and provided clear routes to check dates and book online, connecting course information with the reservation process. Bespoke tuition has its own enquiry pathway, allowing customers to discuss their boat, experience and training requirements. A dedicated gift voucher page adds another way to purchase training, with automated delivery of print-ready digital vouchers.
We also developed the website copy around the questions prospective students are likely to ask. Course descriptions, practical details and frequently asked questions explain the experience in approachable language. Northney’s small-group teaching, walk-on pontoon access and calm coaching approach feature throughout, helping visitors understand both the training available and what makes the school distinctive.
Search optimisation was considered alongside the content and page structure. We prepared page titles and descriptions, organised the course information into a clear hierarchy and developed structured data to describe the business and its training offer. Location-focused content connects the school with Hayling Island, Chichester Harbour and the Solent. Clear answers and consistent information also support the site’s answer engine optimisation approach, making its content easier for search and answer systems to interpret.
The project extended through to managed cloud hosting and ongoing website support, bringing the design, build and technical care together with Blended Digital. The completed website gives Northney a coherent platform for presenting its courses, answering enquiries and taking bookings, with room to develop its content as the business grows.
