Redesigning Flor Valentin

Posted by costa-admin on References
Mobile adapted website for Flor Valentin in Mijas
Desktop & Mobile versions

One of our earliest clients, Flor Valentin in Centro Idea by the road from Fuengirola to Mijas Pueblo, needed to update the half decade old design of their website. We added a simple webshop for online orders with local delivery, including credit card payment. The owner also wanted to focus more on weddings that has now become an important part of their business. Reine Johansson designed a suggestion and together with the owner, Janne Valentin we created a clean design where the creations of the florist take the center stage. We hope for another half dozen of years as Flor Valentin’s web partner! 🙂

New website for Elsafe España

Posted by costa-admin on References

Hemsida till Elsafe Cajas Fuertes

Elsafe España has delivered hotel safes to hotels since 1981. Lately, they have constructed a unique management for hotel safe rentals, where the receptionist creates a rental in seconds and the manager has full overview of existing rentals. Elsafe delivers safes to several countries, but a majority of their clients are Spanish or Portuguese. To position themselves better, Elsafe decided to build a new website. Webdesign Costa del Sol built an airy and modern design, presenting the company’s two main product groups; safes and minibars, and their rental management services. Among other features, the website is mobile adapted through responsive design and uses lazy load for faster loading.

Sydkusten Redesign

Posted by costa-admin on References

Sydkusten mobilanpassning och omdesign

The largest Swedish newspaper on Costa del Sol, Sydkusten, needed (really needed!) a new design. The previous design had been created at some time in the nineties. It was quite a feat that the site was still running on the same system more than a decade later, but now that mobile users being an ever increasing market share, the Björkman brothers decided to renew the whole layout. In april 2015, Google adjusted their search algorithm to punish sites that are not mobile adapted in mobile search results. Since then, if your business is local and suitable for mobile searches, you risk losing clients if your site is not mobile friendly.
Since Webcosta has been working together with Sydkusten for many years, they gave us the confidence to build the new site.

It’s a bit of a challenge to build a design for a site the magnitude of Sydkusten. The site has got many subsections and an enormous amount of content. The mission consisted in creating an easy to use design with easy access to the most commonly used content – all in a modern, sober graphical design with space for many ads.

The new site was launched September 1, 2015 and the response was unmistakable. Traffic rose 18% the first month and visitors stayed 30% longer on the site than before. Half a year later, in March, the result was even more impressive, boasting 58% more visitors than March 2015.
The effect on mobile usage was spectacular with number of visitors on mobile phones tripled, compared to the previous year!

Alamo Costa del Sol redesign

Posted by costa-admin on References

Omdesign Alamo Costa del Sol

We had been doing the Search Optimization (SEO) for Alamo Costa del Sol for a while when we realized they needed a new custome. Reine at Webdesign Costa del Sol came up with a pretty radical design that got Sven at Alamo firing on all cylinders. With some feedback and adaptations, that was the starting point for Alamo’s new website. The most important goal for the new website was increasing engagement and buyer leads. The measures to acheive that goal were:

  • Make it easier for the visitor to start searching for a property to buy
  • Keep visitor attention by delivering appealing content
  • Make property details accessible and property selection easier
  • Invoke trust in visitors
  • Reduce loading times
  • Reduce contacting barriers

All measures were implemented and we have seen a sharp rise in number of queries from the website.
