A Huddersfield bridal shop has scooped a top national award for its website, that was designed and created by two local businesses.
Internet marketing provider WSI Yorkshire from Holmfirth, and Batley-based design agency White Ash Creative, joined forces to build and design the site for Limelight Occasions which won the award for the UK’s Best Retailer Website at the prestigious Bridal Buyer 2011 Awards.
Limelight Occasions - also winners of the Best New Bridal Retailer category - employed the services of the two local companies to build their award winning brochure website, which combines beautiful contemporary design with simple navigation and easy to view galleries.
Sue Brougham, Director of Limelight Occasions, said: "We are absolutely overjoyed to have scooped the award for Best Retailer Website which has received a fantastic reception from our brides to be. White Ash Creative created the corporate image for our new bridal business, including the design of our website, and we are absolutely delighted with the results. Likewise the easy navigation and structure of the site, created by WSI Yorkshire, is fantastic.
"Competition in the bridal retail industry is fierce so to win such an award for our website - as well as the top honour for Best New Bridalwear Retailer - is just incredible! We feel very proud to have achieved so much with a great team of Yorkshire professionals supporting us."
Steve Harvey-Franklin, owner of WSI Yorkshire, said: "We are extremely pleased to hear that Limelight Occasions has received such a prestigious honour for their beautiful website that we created with White Ash Creative. The site looks fantastic and is a real testament to the talent and commitment of three Yorkshire businesses.
"We loved working with Helen and Limelight Occasions and enjoyed the challenges of building the website with such high design features to be SEO friendly, resulting in several top positions for the website."
Helen Bradley, design director at White Ash Creative, added: "Limelight were new to the Bridal industry so they had to be different, be noticed and attract customers. We worked with them to design and develop a beautiful, strong and recognisable brand.
"Creating the website with WSI Yorkshire was a huge part of the project and I am delighted that the site has proven to be so successful for Sue and her team, reflected in their much deserved recognition and prestigious national awards."
The annual Bridal Buyer Awards are widely acknowledged as the most important and influential in the Bridal industry. Thousands of retailers are judged every year across 16 categories.
