Brochure Style Websites
Eric Gilbert Carpets were using a website template from Yell.com. Much of the information was out of date, and
the style was not in-keeping with the company. We re-designed the website with more information, pictures and links
to suppliers. They are now in control of the website and may add an on-line store for rugs in the future.
"We received excellent service from Catalyst Websites. They provided 1st class design service, at very
competitive rates, with personal attention from their designer."
Paul Gilbert, Eric Gilbert Carpets (Sheffield)
Learn To Relax wanted a complete redesign of their website. We added the ability for users to pay for and
instantly download MP3 audio tracks, by sending a secure link via email. There is also a mailing list database which users can subscribe
to, and the facility to send out newsletter emails. Interactive pages provide a questionaire and products an
instant assessment. The butterfly on the home page is a flash graphic.
Sheffield Hatha Yoga wanted a logo and a new website to display information, teacher qualifications, class times
and contact details.
The class times can be easily updated anytime by the site owner. We have also designed the logo for this company.
This design is an example of a site from our 'basic' category (see pricing page).
Sheffield NCT had a website which was hosted by a free hosting company - so its pages were covered in
advertisements. We moved it to another hosting company and also enabled some paper-based forms to be downloaded from the site,
instead of being sent by post. We provide on-going updates to the site as required. Customer Comment:
"Ellen did a fantastic job of adding details for my support group to the NCT Website."
Cash4loans.co.uk wanted a new website to display information and contact details for their business.
We also researched and added relevant affiliate links to the site. This is an example of a website from our basic
category (see pricing page).

E-commerce Websites
Sentelle required a full e-commerce website, with shopping cart, postage calculator, special offers and
wholesale pricing (which is accessed via a customer logon).
A product database provides the abilty to fully control all aspects of the store. Customers can also subscribe to a
mailing list.
"Thank you very much, it has been a pleasure working with you and I would be happy to provide
references for other projects."
Funmi, Sentelle Ltd (London)
Tail End Jewellery wanted a website makeover. We re-styled the pages, sourced images and added an online order
form with PayPal payments and email notification of orders.
Content Management is provided, which allows products to be added and changed via an Admin logon. The site
ranks on the first page of Google for their chosen search phrase.
"Thank you - it looks just how I wanted, with more features than I could ever have imagined!"
Alison, Tail End Jewellery (Derbyshire)
This ecommerce website has a shopping cart, product database, mailing list subscription, and accepts Paypal
payments. The owner can add or change the products and process
the orders on-line, via a 'backoffice' secion of the website. We have also designed the logo, business cards
and advertising material for this company.
"Catalyst Websites are really on the money. Being a person new to the online business,
they offered an abundance of advice to ensure I got a cost effective service and the website that was
right for my business. The after care support was really valuable and appreciated.
Whether you are an accomplished online business wanting to improve your presence,
or new to the business, I would highly recommend them" Joanne, Love Pure Air (London)
B A Tree Hugger needed a new website on which to display information, accept donations and subscriptions, as
well as an online store to sell products.
The store has a product database which makes it very flexible - the owners can add and amend products, prices and
departments at any time. Stock levels are maintained by the website. We have also designed the logo used on the
website.
"One of the biggest contributes towards our success was trusting Catalyst with my the starting up of
the online section of our business - rather than one of the many other web design companies out there making
impossible promises. Their designer was there on the end of the phone every time I wanted help with anything. She always has
time for us and I am very happy with all the work Catalyst did. Batreehugger.com. can positively assure you that
Catalyst Websites will give you a far bigger "bang for your buck" than you would ever expect."
Mr C Chambers, batreehugger.co.uk (Sheffield)

Content Managed Websites
The Retail Automotive Alliance's new website was created in partnership with
The Online Specialists Ltd
and was launched in January 2008. We were responsible for all the programming work on the extranet and the news
and careers centre on the main website.
“Many thanks again for all your assistance with the RAA Web Project. You delivered exactly what we wanted
and never missed a deadline. Always friendly and accommodating you helped with ensuring the smooth development of the site.”
Julie Hamilton, Director – The Online Specialists Ltd
We provide website hosting and maintenance for NAAC. This includes updates to the
SQL Server database, as well as adding regular news items. We also refreshed the design and content, including
adding an interface to accept data from an access database at their office.
"Thank you so much for coming to the office today. It did much to reassure everyone after the bad
experience we have had with our current web hosts!
Everyone was much more positive and revved up about the potential of the future site after your visit. We are now
looking forward to us working together in future."
J Hewitt, NAAC Chief Executive (Peterborough)
"Thanks, the new 'specialist services' section looks great and works just as I expected it to do.
Very prompt and accurate, as always."
R Trow-Smith, NAAC
Dobcroft Infant School is one of the largest primary schools in Sheffield. We re-designed
their website and integrated it with Adobe Contribute, so that they could easily
amend it and publish new pages - such as children's artwork and a weekly newsletter. There is also a password
protected blog for staff and pupils.
The main aim for the Sheffield Homebirth Group's website was to enable them to easily edit the pages themselves.
This is achieved through an online content management system which is extremely easy to use, yet provides ability to type
and format the text with an interface like Microsoft Word.
"I was really impressed with your efficiency and the speed in which you produced such a great looking website.
Your instructions for helping me to edit my website were clear and concise. I would definitely recommend you to friends
and family. Thank you."
Michelle, Sheffield Homebirth Group
Blue Water Swimming provide swimming lessons for children and babies. Their site needed a lively style, and was
designed around their existing logo and leaflets, using a flash header with a wave motion. The news section and swimming lesson
times have content management, and can be easily updated by the owner. The contact page has customised questions to collect relevant details from customers.
