In addition to the design, develop, promotion and improvement of client websites Brit-net also operate a number of sites either independently or in conjunction with partner organisations. This experience of day to day online operations gives us a unique insight in to the issues online businesses face, further broadening the experience our clients can draw on when working with us.
Brit-net have been operating a jewellery retail site in conjunction with a family firm of jewellers since the launch of our first partner site in 2002. The current site, Find Jewellery was the first site to be powered by our own Shopbuild e-commerce software, which was itself built largely based on the experience we have gained operating consumer retail sites in this competitive market.
In addition to developing and managing the online store itself, Brit-net's involvement with Find Jewellery also encompasses the online marketing of the website and the development of numerous back-end systems.
Building on the success of our jewellery retail site, Find Watches was launched in 2003 as a specialist wristwatch retailer. Due to the online marketing carried out by Brit-net the site soon became a major player in the online watch retail space, competing with major high-street names for a share of this ever more competitive market.
Find Watches has been recently updated to use our own e-commerce platform.
C4 Caravans is an online small ads platform for Caravans, Motorhomes and Static Caravans. The original platform was initially developed as a technology demonstration, but its obvious potential soon lead to this being released as a live site.
The bespoke platform that powers the site automates much of the work involved in running such a busy website. The smart, self-managed nature of the site ensures that costs are minimal and profits are maximised, which has been key to the enduring success of this project.
Courses Plus is a searchable guide to training courses in the UK wholly owned by Brit-net. Launched under its original name courses.uk.com in 1999 the site has been serving those looking for training and providing an advertising platform for those selling it ever since.
The ongoing success of the site is largely due to the sites strong standing in search engines. With thousands of visitors finding the site at the top of competitive search results every day, it is this visibility that helps continue to drive traffic to the site and provide value for the advertisers.
Free Photo Printing started out as a hobby site by one of our team, but soon grew to the point where its popularity justified it being brought in house. Although simple, this guide to online photographic printing services is both popular and profitable - something that its many imitators have tried to mimic since its launch in 2005.
Free Photo Printing serves as a good example of how a simple idea, that is well executed, can carve out a niche and succeed online.
