The Website Design Brief
To design a simple, modern wordpress website for Greystoke Castle Print Studio to showcase and advertise courses. To clearly show the studio location so that students are able to easily find the studio. In addition, allow courses to be booked over the telephone.
The Solution
A WordPress.com hosted website using a clean, responsive Lodestar one-page theme. It incorporates elegant portfolios with tiled galleries, a location map, and full contact details. The website theme design is lightweight, and SEO optimised. And the website is linked to Google and Bing search consoles. Along with basic site statistics, this means that performance can be monitored easily.
Managed hosting means that the client doesn’t have to worry about day to day maintenance of the website. And this allows him to get on with running his business.
With room to expand (adding a contact form, blog, testimonials, social media) this is the perfect solution. Above all, with annual running costs of around £60, it’s affordable.
The Final Website
A simple hosting solution, a custom domain name and a clean design theme all combine to create a great website.

Corrine Green [Greystoke Web Design] has just completed the creation of a website for my printmaking studio. She worked diligently and thoroughly, patiently taking me through all of the work that needed to be done and produced an absolutely exceptional website. One that is easy to manage, view and understand, one which advertises my work and the courses which the studio provides and one which is attractive and interesting for any person wishing to undertake any of the courses. She did all this at an exceptionally reasonable cost and it is my hope that she will provide all of my computer support in future. I can heartily recommend her and her work to anyone who wishes to have any form of help or support with their computer systems.
