Hello! We've been creating beautiful things online for happy customers since 1999. But beauty is more than skin deep.
We understand your new site needs to pay its way...
Every website that Shine Design creates looks and feels unique because it is! We start on paper and work from the ground up. We're designers first and foremost, not just developers - so we don't just build a new website.
Shine is based in Kenilworth near East Birmingham, West Midlands and works with organisations in East Birmingham and beyond, working with and helping to develop their e-marketing strategy. We help with copy writing and sourcing pictures, as well as maintaining your completed website to ensure it is search engine optimised (SEO) and gets found by Google and other search engines.

"When Jon started, Outeractive was just an idea and a plan.
We rely on the website to get found by new customers and book our outward-bound trips."

Dragon James Caan described it as "the best pitch for the silliest product I have ever seen".
"It was just for fun", or so Jon maintains...

If you want to target a specific target audience, the you should consider a graphical e-mail or e-newletter campaign. It's more visual and engaging than sending out just a written email to your clients. It's similar to setting up a web page but using simpler coding that is easily displayed by email browsers.
We create emailshot campaigns for businesses in East Birmingham and throughout the UK. We can set you up with the broadcast software and show you how you can track who has opened your email and which links they have clicked. You can also manage your subscriber lists including automated 'unsubscribe' requests.
