Commercial contract flooring company Durham Flooring is now enjoying record online sales following the launch of its new SEO enhanced website developed by Britnett Web Services. Since the website (www.durhamflooring.co.uk) went live, turnover has more than doubled, with over 75% of sales now generated online. Established in 2002, the family-owned business which employs three people has a strong reputation for supplying and fitting professional flooring, carpet tiles, linoleum, designer floors, screeding and dry lining for retail outlets, public houses, casinos, factories and public buildings. One of its latest contracts has been the Discovery Museum in Newcastle.

Looking to grow its business, Durham Flooring went online from its outset. However its original website failed to help them gain the contracts the company was keen to secure. So in search of an organisation which could help turn its web presence around and gain access to larger contracts the company approached Britnett. Through a nationwide franchise network Britnett Web Services offers small and medium sized businesses access to a range of cost effective web design and search engine optimisation solutions to help drive sales.

Sam Watson, Managing Partner of Durham Flooring, said: Our original website seemed to do the job initially but as the potential power of the web increased our site failed to keep pace. It was difficult to navigate and difficult to find and it looked unprofessional  it added little to our business. We didn't receive the technical support we needed and it was very difficult to alter or update. The way Britnett has worked to create and maintain our website has been refreshing. It has really delivered for us.
