Our Client

Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes is a community interest and ‘not for profit’ organisation, set up to deliver fuel poverty and associated programmes in Wales. They aim to alleviate fuel poverty in Welsh homes by delivering dedicated programmes of work. We were tasked with updating the Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes brand along with developing a fully bilingual content managed website.

The Problem

Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes’ previous site design looked amateur, did not adequately portray the new services they provide and was a ’static’ site ie. All changes needed to be done by the developer; which they felt that was not cost effective.

The Brief

Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes’ new needs were a website:

• that they could update and edit themselves
• was bi-lingual (Welsh and English) but not two separate sites to update and
• where they could upload informational documents for downloading
• which looked professional and appealed to their target audience, both householders and housing developers
• had the option to password protect pages.

The Solution

Pentagon answered Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes’ needs by designing and developing a Content Managed Website (CMS) using WordPress.

The new design looks both contemporary and professional and the CMS enables the Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes team to easily add news items, job vacancies, case studies and documents etc. in both languages. They can also password protect any number of pages, a facility they use for example in their press centre.

Visitors to the new site can easily find what they require by navigating the simple menu structure or using the search facility. Key areas of the site are also highlighted by using graphic ‘calls to action’ and the use of a breadcrumb trail ensures the user always knows their position within the site.

The site code is very search engine friendly and sitemaps are in place that automatically notify Google, Bing, etc. of changes to the content. Warm Wales – Cymru Gynnes can also view detailed statistics about visitors to their website by the inclusion of Google Analytics.

“The Pentagon team grasped straight away how our web site could become more of a business tool and less of a shop window. They made excellent use of our brand within the design and created a new cms based site using WordPress. It has given us the freedom to create a show case for our work and use it as a social media marketing tool at the same time. We’re really pleased and would thoroughly recommend them.” – Andrew Brown

“Pentagon have exceeded all our expectations with the development of the Major Music website and adding a new dimension to our profile and associated promotional activities. Indeed, the overall presentation and functionality of the site is now greatly improved and with a host of people and service users making reference to the positive profile and presentation afforded by the new and innovative website.
The website is easy to upload information and make additions as often as is necessary, with a simple to use interface which enables all of our service users, sponsors and supporters to be kept updated on news items, events and other associated activities.
The promotion and awareness raising of Major Music is seen as being pivotal and where again the website ranks well in all the right search engines.
The website has become our main means of communication and which ultimately saving the charity time and money on hard copy printed promotional material and literature.” – Phil Kirkham, Chairman, Major Music.

“We have been working with Pentagon for a number of years.  Apart from new marketing materials, advertisements and ad hoc support they did a great job re-working our web site in 2009.  They managed to combine excellent design, concise accurate copy and a practical approach to training our in house team to manage the site’s content and delivered it all on time and on budget.  The work that Derryl and his team do for CEW has become an integral part of our mission to educate the Welsh construction sector about collaborative working. Pentagon is not just a supplier; they are part of the CEW team.” – Eira Rowe, Director, Operations & Events

“We knew that a modern website was an essential tool in the future development of our business but worried about achieving our ideas as we have no experience in this field. We met Derryl and Byron and their passion and willing to understand our business made us confident they would be able to work with us to develop an amazing result. They proved to be extremely willing in helping us realise our creative ideas and are a pleasure to deal with. They were very patient and efficient throughout the whole process and I look forward to working with them on the next stage of development. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a great service from a very personable team.” – Mark Hill, Churchill Way Dental Practice
