Snowgoose
made its first flight out of the nest and onto the web early
in 2001, mostly building web sites for tourism businesses.
We now have a continually expanding portfolio
of sites ranging from accommodation businesses to regional
attractions, arts and crafts, Traidcraft,
plus some non-uk sites. As a regionally-based business,
most of our clients are based throughout Northumbria and
the North East of England, but some are also overseas.
By
ensuring from day one that all sites are built to be search-engine
friendly, our customers achieve a steadily increasing percentage
of business directly from their Snowgoose web sites, with
some rates as high as 80-90%, depending on their business
sector.
