Genius Computing are proud to announce our WP Engine Partnership. WP Engine hosting gives you the agility, performance, intelligence, and integrations to let your site shine.

Why WP Engine

In the “mobile-first” era we live in, hosting and managing websites can be complicated and time consuming, taking your focus away from your real business. You need the best platform for developing and hosting fast, reliable, and secure WordPress sites in order to bring your vision to life. They use reliable AWS and GCP architecture that keeps you online and help deliver scalable, performant, WordPress digital experiences.

WP Engine Benefits

Speed Benefits

• 38% average improvement in site speed
• Global site performance with fully-managed CDN
• Best-in-class infrastructure deployed on AWS and Google Cloud Platform
• Globally-dispersed edge servers for caching static assets closer to end user

Security Benefits

• Dedicated security team focused on security engineering, governance, and compliance
• Mitigated vulnerabilities with managed WordPress Core updates and security patching

Support Benefits

• World-class 24/7 support with an average response time of < 3 minutes
• Four WordPress Core contributors on staff and a global team of recognized subject matter experts (this means that developers that helped working on building the actual WordPress solution work here now!)

At Genius Computing we didn’t make the decision lightly to partner with WP Engine. We searched across all options for our hosting, and they outshone all of them. This is why we made the decision to invest heavily in their dedicated architecture for our go-to WordPress hosting solution.

We have worked alongside Digital Ocean for more than 6 years now to provide hosting for our clients, however in recent times it would seem that their focus as shifted to enterprise level clients only. We will continue to use Digital Ocean for our non-WordPress/WooCommerce clients, as they do still provide a great hosting option outside of the WordPress ecosystem.

If you require any WordPress/WooCommerce assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us and we’ll be more than happy to accommodate your requirements.

Genius Computing Ltd have had our website development team working alongside our fantastic client Wannasee Ltd in order to carry out a refresh across all of their festival websites. We created a beautiful looking template which is to be used across all their festivals. With each festival, they have their own unique twist.

Kubix Festival

This is the first festival that we are giving the new template. Kubix Festival is a great annual North East festival catering for pop and rock festival goers, therefore if either of the following lineups look like your cup of tea, we’d very much recommend getting yourself a ticket! You can get tickets on their website here: https://www.kubixfestival.com/

Wannasee Festivals

Another festival that we are giving this template to is Wannasee Festivals. This festival provides world-class tributes to the world’s greatest artists. This is such a popular festival it expanded to 3 separate locations; Sunderland, Penrith, and Hertfordshire, so if any of these locations are near to you, and you’re a fan of old school great music – then read up on them! You can see more info on their events and lineups here: https://www.wannaseefestival.com/

The next festival websites we will be working on is Sign of the Times, Northern Kin, and Stone Valley Festival. Keep your eyes pealed for their new websites!

If your company requires any assistance with website development, then get in touch with us.

We have recently joined forces with Wannasee Festivals in order to bring new life to their website design. The Dominion Festival was the first of the teams’ festivals that we decided to tackle. With it being a brand new festival with a blank canvas, it was a lot of fun.

We took the poster artwork that had been created by their designers, and used that as the base to create the website design WordPress theme. There was a lot of thought put into their artwork so we have incorporated as much of the detail as possible without over-complicating the user experience.

Dominion Festival – creative website design

Throughout the website design we tried to be agile as the artwork evolved. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the Wannasee team on this one and look forward to bringing the other festival websites to life. They are a delight to meet with and bounce ideas off each other. The team put a lot of effort in ensuring their festivals are fantastic for the festival-goers. We’re sure it is much appreciated by any of the attendees!

The next project we will be tackling with the team are Kubix and Northern Kin. Watch this space for some amazing websites coming online!

For the past year, GCUK have been working with Real Lesvos on their website creation. The Real Lesvos team originally created a basic prototype in house so that they could start to show investors their plans. On a whole, the hope is to bring holidaymakers and travelers into Lesvos to appreciate all of the stunning landscapes and culture that it has to offer.

In March 2021, we got the designs for Real Lesvos and began working on the initial professional prototype ready to give to the next stage of investors. Over the year the project flourished from the initial artwork designs, into a beautiful travel agency website. We think this website totally outclasses all of the other competitors, and give a brilliant interface for the customers.

Real Lesvos – website creation evolution

Throughout the agile website creation, Mark and the team have been creating a growing list of features. This means that although the website is now live, it certainly isn’t the end. The team plan on constantly evolving their website, taking on customer feedback along the way to refine their product. Now that the website is live and taking orders, we very much recommend you take a look! They have some beautiful properties for you to stay in, but also they offer a personalised concierge service so that you aren’t stumbling in the dark. Get yourself onto their website even just to check out what the island has to offer.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Mark and his team. They are a great bunch, doing a great thing to give back to the community. They spend a great deal of time on the island and are putting a lot of love into this website. We look forward to where this project is heading, and are excited to roll out the growing list of features. If you or your company are looking for Website Development services, then give us a shout!

The Genius Computing team have been working hard since the pandemic hit. Trying to help businesses across the UK improve their digital presence has been tasking. We’ve not been as active as we would have like to have been on these posts as all hands have been on deck. We’ve done this to ensure our clients were being serviced before us! Now we’ve got a bit of breathing space we’d like to tell you a bit about one of our recent projects. This Website Development Project for Blazed UK was done just before Christmas – read bout it below.

The Blazed UK team had a website created for them when they first established the business back in 2016. However, technology has changed a lot since then. Website Development is now so powerful you can give your customers a very attractive, and compelling shop window right at their fingertips. Make use of this fantastic opportunity!

Website Development – What did we do?

When Blazed UK came to us, we were given their current website details, and a logo. From their, we took the logo and vectorised it immediately. This allowed the Blazed UK team to work on their marketing materials whilst we begun designing. Our team had great fun being able to explore without restraint on these designs. We worked closely with Nathan to ensure that we captured his vision for the brand, and we like to think we’ve shown everyone just how great the brand is with the new website! Both of the websites for their Clothing and CBD stores were pushed through our pipeline as efficiently as possible to bring Nathan’s vision straight to his customers’ fingertips. Why don’t you check them both out for yourself and let us know what you think?

We like to ensure that our clients can have total trust in our team to deliver great results. We do our utmost to achieve those results, but we also work with our clients to maintain these results. If you or your company are looking for Website Development services, then give us a shout!

Last month we shared a blog post for Website Design & Development. As we said in that post, we were in the process of running through bespoke website development creations for a couple of clients. We have now completed those websites and have created case study pages for you to see! If you’d like to take a look at our latest work, you can find it here: Our Work

The Real Lesvos team came to us back in January with a set of designs that they had drafted up by another designer. We worked alongside the other designer to turn their set of print-ready designs into website compatible designs. This project has been a fun one for the Genius Computing team, and we have lots more planned for these guys. Below is a snippet of how their website turned out:

The Caterpillar team have not had a website up until now, and decided that they would like to have an online presence. We designed this one from scratch in house and needless to say the client loves the work that has been produced. Here is an example of some of the mobile responsive content:

We like to ensure that our clients can have total trust in our team to deliver great results. Not only do we do our utmost to achieve those results, but we work with the client to maintain these results on an ongoing basis.

Website Design and Development has become all too important for any business, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the UK back in December 2019. With many of us spending a lot more time at home, it has become essential for your business to have a great digital presence. There are many ways of doing this such as social media, websites, email marketing etc.

At Genius Computing, we wanted to show you how we can help, and what better way than our own business! We have our brand on all major platforms; Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and our own website. We designed a brand that could be used across all platforms with very little extra effort.

Website Design

To design our brand, we use an online design and collaboration tool. We use this same tool with all of our clients. It allows you to easily see your designs come to life, and prototype without any development work being carried out. From the photo below, you can see the work that goes into the designs!

Website Development

Once we’re happy with the designs, we get to work on the development of the website. For most of our clients, we do this on WordPress to make it more cost effective. It is also easier to maintain the content within the website. However, for any website, you want to make sure that it is secure, and the software is up to date. You also want to ensure the content contained within the website is up to date. The process of taking the website from designs to a working staging site takes about 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of the site. You very quickly be able to see your websites home page come to life like ours did here:

We are currently working with a few of our clients to go through this exact process. The whole process of Website Design and Development can take between 2-4 weeks, depending on how complex the website is. As soon as we complete their websites, we will do a case study for each of them! By doing a case study we can show yourselves the art of the possible. Also it is helping to raise the profile of the website. If you see a case study, please take a minutes to read about the client visit their website. If you would like any information about how we can help you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
