After a few months’ preparation and development, we are pleased to announce that the website of one of Swansea’s Top Hotels - the Dragon Hotel has now gone live. The new site offers a clean, smart image for one of Swansea’s top hotels and showcases the hotel’s main areas - accommodation, eating at the dragon, health and leisure and weddings - very well. The site was created using a content management system and allows staff at the hotel the ability to add/modify and delete content from any computer, using a secure username and password. Over the next month or so the site will add more offers and allow people to subscribe to their newsletter.
Our relationship with the Dragon Hotel started when one of their team came on our eMarketing Award. Over the last couple of months we have provided project management support to them, which has included help with site structure, specification, content, SEO and liaising with their web developer. We will be offering ongoing Internet Marketing support to the hotel in the coming months and wish them every success with their new website.
Readers of our blog articles will know that we always enjoy showcasing our clients’ sites. Well, here’s another one to add to that portfolio - Swansea Events. Roughly about 3 weeks’ ago two members of the Swansea Council Tourism department came on one of our Business Blogging days to learn how to build a blog in a day. We showed them how to design, create posts and even create added functionality through Widgets.
We were very pleased to hear this week that they had kept up the momentum of that day and have since re-designed the blog, adding new functionality and brand new blog articles. The objective of the site is to highlight events which go on in Swansea over the course of the year. It looks like they are already meeting that objective and we wish Liz and Paul all the best with their blogging endeavours in the future.
Towards the end of the August we completed some consultancy work for one of Wales’ Top Golf Courses, Fairwood Park. The club has had a web presence for a number of years and in the Summer, having had discussions with ourselves, decided that they would like to improve to create a better visitor experience. The aim was to film all 18 holes so that visitors could get an idea of what the golf course was actually like.
Two of our team encamped to Fairwood Golf Course with digital video cameras in hand on one warm, summer’s day and spent the entire day filming all 18 holes. Once back in the office they then edited the footage, adding commentary from Fairwood Park’s golf professional and images that we captured from Google Earth. The idea of the latter was to create a moving, aerial view of fairways and greens.
All 18 videos are hosted on YouTube and embedded on their website.
Take a look at the Fairwood Park Video Guide and please let us know what you think of the end result.
This year, the final adjudication was carried out by an independent judge, David Atkinson. He is an experienced travel writer with credits that include the Lonely Planet Wales guidebook. As part of the selection process he actually visited the Call of the Wild offices in Seven Sisters.
Emcoe staff have worked with Call of the Wild on a few marketing projects. Our most recent work with them involved us filming, editing and uploading a video on to YouTube of a team building day that they organised for Llanelli Scarlets. Even one of our Ospreys’ supporters had a great day out! Take a look at the video below.
After months of hard work, the new website for one of our clients, Tredz, is now live. Tredz is a Swansea-based company that offers bikes and accessories to people from all over the UK. Their new ecommerce store has thousands of products to suit every type of cyclist, from toddlers and youngsters to racing cyclists and BMX’ers. Two of the Tredz team have already been on our eMarketing Award course and are starting to use the tools that they learnt to good use - including video casts and blogs.
Everyone at Emcoe would like to wish Nic, Caroline and the team all the best with the ecommerce site and the new Tredz shops.

We were pleased to find out this week that one of our clients, Call of the Wild, have put their new website live. The company which provides activities and management development training to a wide range of clients, from stags and hens to schools and corporates, decided a few months back that they wanted a new, more robust website to showcase their services. The result of this is a flexible, content management system that allows them to add content as and when required and to flag up custom-made packages. We hope that the new site will bring them in a lot more leads!
