Forest Software

Web, SEO and IT & Business Advice for the Smaller Business

Website Design & Hosting

We specialise in websites for the smaller business and charity. We believe that by specialising in the smaller business, sole trader and small charity sector of the internet we are able to provide the service that you need at a price you can afford.

Our web services include website design, search engine optimisation (SEO) including SEO for 5 to 9 businesses in the UK, web site hosting, domain registration and website updates.

Although Forest Software was founded by John K Mitchell in 1983 as an M software consultancy, we built our first web site in 1995 and since then have built and hosted sites for many clients in many different market sectors.

Our consultancy clients have included banks, insurance companies, financial management companies (Quasar users), health authorities, software houses, timber wholesalers and tour operators. We have also carried out DSM based training for clients.

Our web site design clients have included engineering firms, electronic supply companies, finance companies, letting agencies, telecommunication service providers, wedding car companies, cleaning companies, printers, professional groups, real estate companies and several other types of organisations including business and charitable groups and even crafters websites.

We also host web sites for several companies and groups that have developed their own sites, or have used an external designer for the site as well as building sites that the client then takes over the maintenance of.

Unlike many SEO firms out there, we promise that we will only take on working for you if we realy believe that we can make a difference to your bottom line- not just a difference in your search engine rankings, but an increase in enquiries or sale to you. We do this by not only looking at the technical elements of search engine optimisation but may also make suggestions about how to make your pages more user friendly. If we don't feel that we can make a real difference to you we may make a few suggestions to you about some basic improvements to your site.

If you feel we can help you or have any questions, please contact us for a no obligation quote.
