Swindon Website Design Agency Shortlisted for National Award

Swindon-based GEL Studios, based on the Groundwell Industrial Estate, has been nominated for two prestigious national awards.

Founder and managing director Graeme Leighfield was recently informed the company has been shortlisted for the eCommerce Developer of the Year and Web Development Project of the Year in the South region of the 2017 UK Digital Entrepreneur Awards. 
 
The team were shortlisted for their work on the successful eCommerce website for a new local company, The Lost Cinema, which stages cinema events at lovely venues including Stanton House near Swindon. 
 
Graeme said: “It was vital customers could purchase tickets without the restrictions of typical online shops, such as redirecting to take payment and requesting a log in. With our solution, visitors could buy a ticket from any page with just a single click. 
 
“We also ensured the website exports the details of attendees into registers of attendance for the nights of Lost Cinema events. This made the website a valuable business tool saving time and resources.”
 
The Lost Cinema website also received a "Merit for Commendable Sites" award earlier in the year from AWWWARDS which celebrates the best web design trends. 
 
Graeme said: “I was absolutely honoured when I discovered we’re in the running for awards for The Lost Cinema site again.”
 
Graeme, who lives in Covingham, Swindon and is a former pupil of Kingsdown School started the website and graphic design company four years ago. Today he has a team of five, with each person specialising in one area of the company’s business. 
 
Graeme and his team are focused on Wiltshire and Swindon businesses and organisations including INSwindon, Drove Vets, Circle Cider and Multiple Sclerosis National Therapy Centre. 
 
Graeme said: “It’s incredibly important to me that Swindon businesses are educated in the importance of branding and understand the value of a well-designed, non-templated, user-friendly website. 
 
“We’re rare at GEL Studios in that we don’t outsource work, our staff are local to Swindon, and everything we make, be it a website, or printed materials, is as bespoke and unique as every business is unique.”
 
The winners of the UK Digital Entrepreneur Awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on Wednesday November 8. To find out more about Graeme and his team visit www.gelstudios.co.uk
