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.

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!

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!
