The Faith Hill Candle Company asked us to provide a user friendly e-commerce solution that was both easy for the customers to use and equally as easy to manage. We decided to use our own "Supreme E-Commerce Manager" as the store backbone. Paypal was integrated as the payment gateway for both security and popularity reasons. Our system integrates Royal mail postage prices to work out postage cost by weight. Email alerts let the shop manager know when an order, product question or stock level need attention.

Modern Image

Modern Image is the brainchild of James Kelly a well known photographer in Aberdeen. The website was run for a year back in 2006 however the site itself held back the concept as each gallery had to be manually created each night. Back then the site had many followers who enjoyed finding the photos of themselves from the night before. The image upload and gallery creation is all done with a custom Content Management System (CMS). In the first month the site was relaunched it had an average of 10,000 hits per day and an overall of 210,000 hits.

Reviews
Supreme web solutions have provided us with a site which we can manage ourselves very easily and with the ability to mail all our customers using their contact management system, they have also continually managed the site to keep our Google ranking high so we are always on the first page when customers search for business within our sector. I feel there help in making our web presnce so strong has helped increase the amount of customers through the door, and the ease of use means I can delegate web updates to my senior staff without worrying about a web disaster.
I have recommended Supreme to several people who I believed would benefit from their expertise and have not been disappointed due to the massive positive feed back I have received from these friends. They are a young company who stay up to date and have a fresh outlook with their web design, they also provide excellent after sales service and support. I would recommend any business to seek their advice when looking for a web designer as they provide much more than just a website.
Aberdeen Web Design comments:
Thankyou for your kind words and for taking the time to review us.
Very happy this this service, from first contact to final product Communication has been 100%.
Our final website was finished early which was great. The creativity and willing to experiment with ideas has been great which has resulted in a spot on website. Finding a company who can take your ideas and create exactly what I needed is very rare.
Since Launching our website we have asked for updates to be made and everything has been done quick and professionally.
Will continue to use Supreme and recommend to everyone.
Excellent service. Having taken over and redesigned my original site, which was not even appearing in the top 50 on Google, I was up in the top 3 within 6 weeks and have been there ever since. I get prompt response to every query and email, excellent suggestions on how to improve the site and Google rankings. Excellent work in keeping the site up in the top 3 (It hovers at 1-2 usually which is very good value for about 20% of what I used to spend on ad words)
On top of the general site maintenance, I get good IT support, new software (Hotel booking software), that does exactly what I want (And will soon update Expedia etc without having to log on to their Extranet)
I will be passing over all my web & IT work over for my other companies in the next few months
I asked Supreme Web Solutions to have a look at our website in order to improve our position on google - search engine optimisation. There was a noticeable difference after a couple of weeks and now due to the alterations made to our website and the on going work that they are continuing to do we now appear within the first three listed result when anyone searches certain phrases. I am very pleased with the work done, the changes made to the website and the on going work carried out by the company.
Since then I have called upon them to fix many computer problems including hardware problems and network viruses.
I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the company and the efficiency with which all the work has been done. The IT or web design comanies that I have used in the past have been very slow at responding to requests and the work has taken weeks to carry out.
On top of this I was kept updated with regular progress reports, monthly SEO reports and everything was broken down in to a language that I could understand as I have no technical IT knowledge.
Supreme Web Solutions are now designing online booking software and are tailoring it to my specifications and requirements which is a service that I have not received from any other company.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to redesign or improve their website, optimise their google search results and anyone looking to have network, software or harware problems resolved in a timely fashion.
It was a pleasure meeting with them and doing business with them.
