A new perpesctive on How to achieve your goals

Hi....

Welcome to slightlychilled, we are a team of experienced professionals that specialise in creating beautiful websites that work.

Case study The Corellian Academy

With a wealth of knowledge and experience trading financial markets, The Corellian Academy delivers high quality education and content designed to achieve optimum results for platform providers and individual traders alike.

Their products and services cover a full spectrum of asset classes such as Equities, FX, Commodities, Bonds, Options and Crypto markets.

Utilising a membership and subscription model, the website provides exclusive content to users with different levels of access. The system offers a free trial to give new visitors a taste of whats available before singing up to either a monthly or annual automatic recurring payment which is collected automatically with stripe.com integration to provide a seamless, and efficient process.

With a 100% bespoke design to really make the site stand out in the Financial Education market, the website has seen a consistent increase in traffic on a global scale.

Since 2020 we have been working closely with The Corellian Academy team to build a platform for their education videos and helping to cultivate numerous productive industry partnerships by developing unique access to areas within the site.

We moved the site away from WPENGINE to increase capacity, provide a more streamline development and support process and significantly reduced costs.

Case study Downtown Dance Factory

Downtown Dance Factory is one of our many long-standing clients and has been with us since 2012. We've been working so closely the DDF team over the years, that we have detailed knowledge of how they work, what makes them tick, and how best to support them.

(photo by: Melina Nastazia Photography)

Over the years we had produced a couple of designs for them, and in 2022 we started discussing options with the DDF team on how to produce a more dynamic, modern and interactive site that would support their future goals and branding. DDF had a very clear vision of where they wanted to go and what the site needed to look like.

Working closely with DDF, we took their design and turned it into a bright, dynamic site that has seen a healthy increase in traffic since the launch in August 2023.

The new design has a strong emphasis on colours and dynamic elements, we worked hard to ensure the site is structured and optimised to ensure it ranks well in search results and our ongoing work will continue to ensure the site appears high in Google Search.

Part of the process involved a complete restructure of content and we took the necessary steps to ensure existing link juice was maintained or passed over to the new pages.

As one of the only VPN services available that offers a guarantee, we rebranded VanishedVPN back in 2017, and have been supporting and hosting them ever since.

Along with creating a user-friendly and inviting design and layout, we also moved the site away from WPENGINE to provide an improved service, increased capacity with reduced overheads and streamlined the support process.

Better Mortgage Company

Launched as a new Mortgage Advisory company back in 2015 the original website was designed and built by the in-house team. When the time came (in 2020), we re-designed and re-built the site from the ground up to provide a sleek, user friendly site that was easy to navigate with clear channels for visitors to get in touch. Since launching the new site, the better mortgage company has seen an improved, and consistent stream of enquiries and an higher conversion rate.

Testimonial

Phil Bishop - VanishedVPN

I’m pleased to recommend slightlychilled who have supported my business (www.vanishedvpn.com) for a number of years now. I originally moved my Web Development & Design to Simon in 2017 when I had been let down by another company. Having known Simon for a number of years before, we were able to have a very open and honest discussion around my requirements, and he surpassed my expectations.
