About the project 

Released in: (2010).

After approaching a number of web development businesses Mike and Andrea decided to go with Eazyshop as their preferred web development partner.

The scope for this project required an intelligent booking engine that could charge home owners a listing fee to list properties for rent during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.  Home owners would be given a personalised CMS to manage their entire listing.  The sytem would put home seekers in direct contact with home owners to negotiate rental fees and length of stay.

Some interesting statistics about this business:

Go Rugby Homes closed not to long after the World Cup ended, and as one door closed another opened. Eazyshop are currently developing stage 2 of Mike and Andrea's business. it's an advanced Holiday homes booking engine called Go Holiday Homes due to launch early 2012.

Platform Highlights:

MESSAGE FROM THE OWNER

When people come to me and say "I'm going to set up an online store. Who would you recommend?" I tell them about Eazyshop straight away. I've even had people come back to me, thanking me for the referral, because they've also had a good experience with Eazyshop. I know the importance of working with a good website company because my last experience didn't go well at all. As a result I explored quite a few avenues this time round. I didn't want the same headaches! From the outset I found Eazyshop to be fantastic.

In comparison to my previous experience, there is so much about Eazyshop that stands out. One of the things that I liked about Eazyshop was that they did their research about my company and about this project.

Whenever I need something I can get on the phone at any time. There's always someone there who's able to answer your questions and get things fixed. I'm not very tech savvy either, so it's so nice being able to explain things to people who are patient. Every time I've rung it actually seems like people enjoy their jobs! The ongoing email updates are great too and I enjoy reading them.

Something else I appreciate about Eazyshop, as far as me being a new business, is that I know I can take it further later on. As far as what Eazyshop can offer, I picked a few basic things for my site and it's great to know can that I can keep adding on, in the future. Set prices are important too and this is something that Eazyshop offers. Again, dealing other companies, they pick the price out of a bucket you don't know what it's really meant to cost. In contrast, Eazyshop is fair and they give you a straight quote for what you need now. Then you can keep building later, when you're ready!"

What is THE primary goal for YOUR website? ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE more sales? OR gather more LEADS?

Most business owners understand the need for a website, but all too few understand what a website is really supposed to do. Your website is a delivery vehicle for your message, just like newspaper ads, postcards, telemarketing or direct-mail packages. And like those other devices, the Internet has its own checklist of requirements you must follow to make any campaign a success.

The design of a website is very important however there are other areas that have greater influence on your bottom line.

Beautifully designed websites do add value, there is no argument here. What’s important is how the designs are implemented to achieve maximum sales. This is where scoping the role of your website vs. your key business straegies becomes very important. Our free consultation service is designed to help you achieve this important step in developingyour business online.

A beautiful site will get your visitors in the right mood for buying your product however you can destroy this very quickly by adopting ineffective techniques that are all to common on the internet today.

IS YOUR OFFER COMPELLING? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS YOUR OFFER IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS?

Whatever else your website does, it must contain a compelling offer that persuades visitors to identify themselves to you as a likely buyer. While direct-response marketers and copywriters have known about this lead-capture approach for decades,few mainstream businesses even know about this strategy.

Of course,this means you can out market and out maneuver virtually every one of your competitors simply by making a specific offer to visitors who visit your site.

Not only that, but there’s a lot of future revenue in a carefully built list of names like this, but most companies either don’t have a list or don’t market effectively to the list they’ve built.

BESPOKE DEVELOPMENT VS TEMPLATED DEVELOPMENT, what’s the difference? does it really matter?

The benefits really come down to your business strategy. Templated systems come with the added benefit of price cost saving. If you’re looking for a foot in the eCommerce World as a means of testing then templated systems will work very well for you.

Bespoke systems are here for businesses that have unique business concepts, branding that need to be employed into eCommerce software online.

SEO ALONE WILL NOT BRING YOU REVENUE, IT DOES HOWEVER GENERATE TRAFFIC.

You could spends thousand’s on SEO and not realise the true earning potential of all that traffic until you engage a professional development firm like Eazyshop.

Of course, once you understand what a home-page offer, data-capture mechanism and lead-conversion system can do for your company—it makes sense to put all this in place to take advantage of SEO.
