livebooks success stories

I have used liveBooks for my photography business website for several years, and have been extremely happy with everything about it. When it came time to develop a website for our coffee company, I knew liveBooks was the answer – convincing my partner was another story.

After the company spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours only to end up with an unacceptable website from another web development and marketing company, I was finally given the green light to do what I wanted to do. Within two weeks we were up and running with one of the sweetest websites in our industry.

The coffee business is extremely competitive and we are constantly trying to develop new business in both the retail and wholesale arenas. Having a strong website is key in branding and establishing a name. Everyone has a website, but very few stand out.

liveBooks makes it easy, especially with their preDesigned websites. They leave just enough room for customization to make it your own, but eliminate most of the work. And with their great SEO working in the background, we were starting to show up in searches after only a month.

Being in the photography business I was fortunate enough to be familiar with liveBooks. What a lot of people don’t realize is that their system is flexible enough to allow the websites to adapt to just about any industry, and because of the strong graphic background, your website will stand out and attract all of the attention.

In the design world, having an easy to navigate website with large photos is imperative. The clear, inspiring images on our liveBooks website tell the narrative of our work and process. With the abundance of information on the internet, it’s essential to provide something of value in a website; the visuals on the SPD website give potential clients a clear idea of our craft and the site is full of technical data and design options. The site grabs a person’s attention and gives them a pleasurable look at our line of cabinetry and furniture.

I looked through a generous amount of website hosting services and the templates they offer and honestly, I was getting depressed! Everything was so commercial and undesirable. I wanted something clean and simple. My boyfriend is an amazing photographer that utilizes liveBooks and suggested that I take a look at their offering. Mind you, I’m not a photographer – I have a line of dog collars! As soon as I looked through the templates that liveBooks had to offer, I was sold. So crisp, clean and bold!  Exactly what I was looking for! The awesome team at liveBooks was able to change a few things on the template I chose so that it would better meet my needs. The editSuite that allows you to manage your website is such a breeze to use. I am very happy with the results and the staff at liveBooks has been such a pleasure to work with!

Having a livebooks website has been great. It has allowed me to have a web presence, that I feel good about, without the huge hassle or expense of some other design options out there. I was able to create the site in a matter of hours, and updating it is simple. I get comments from customers all the time, and have noticed that people are able to find me easily. The support team has been very responsive to any of my requests and I’ve always found the end results to exceed my expectations. It is a great option for designers of any kind, I’m definitely a fan!

When I started looking for a new website I knew I wanted a clean, professional and modern look to make a good first impression on potential clients. Garden design is a very competitive business so the ‘wow factor’ is always a must. When a photographer friend of mine, who already uses liveBooks, recommended them I knew I was headed in the right direction. To me using great images is one of the best ways to showcase my portfolio and since liveBooks offers unlimited portfolios I can show more of my work. The SEO has proven to work remarkably well. Just one week after being live my website is already appearing on the first page in several search engines!

I started thinking about a refresh of my company website in early 2010. As a consulting engineering company, the internet is our primary means of communications and advertising. We wanted to expand and improve the statement our site makes to the world. I wanted to create a site that was different. I wanted minimal use of text, maximum use of images and site navigation that was simple and intuitive.

Somewhere in our research process I was introduced to liveBooks. The LB sales team was always available to answer my questions. I knew after looking at dozens of sites LB had created that this was the team I wanted for our new site. We kicked off a custom web site design with liveBooks in Q4 of 2010. As the design evolved, we made dozens of changes – tweaking the look and feel. The LB design team was right there every step of the way. The site went live in December. I am very pleased with it. Creating a design – in any medium – that is simple, clear, uncluttered, and stands the test of time – is not easy. Thanks to liveBooks, I think we have achieved that.

I would not have had the ability to have an online presence without the competitive rates offered from liveBooks. I feel as though they are rooting not only for me, but all of us.
