16 // Keeping it Brief OK, we’re half way through the magazine so here’s the commercial break: a brief update on what we’ve been up to recently at The Completely Group… WWW MEANS WILKINSON WILLIAMS WEBSITE! THE COMPLETELY GROUP’S HIGHLY-CREATIVE AND TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE APPROACH HAS PROVIDED US WITH A WEBSITE THAT NOT ONLY LOOKS GREAT, BUT MANAGES TO PRESENT A LOT OF DETAILED INFORMATION IN A FORMAT WHICH IS EASY TO NAVIGATE MILES MARTEN, MANAGING PARTNER WILKINSON WILLIAMS The Completely Group has built a new website for the specialist retail property consultancy, Wilkinson Williams. Wilkinson Williams is ranked as the leading retail warehouse agent, and has leasing instructions totalling more than 20 million sq ft. The comprehensive overhaul of the firm’s site has created an online platform which is fully responsive (making it mobile and tablet friendly) and incorporates various new technologies and features. The firm’s Managing Partner, Miles Marten, comments: “A state-of the-art online presence is essential for our business. The Completely Group’s highly-creative and technically innovative approach has provided us with a website that not only looks great but manages to present a lot of detailed information in a format which is easy to navigate”. The Completely Group’s New Media Manager, James Bridge-Butler, comments: “The property section on the site is powered by CompletelyRetail.co.uk and we’ve developed a sophisticated search functionality that allows visitors to search for properties by scheme and availability”.

Since then he has completed the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon, the Surrey Half and the Brooklands Half Marathon in preparation for the Brighton Marathon. Mark’s efforts are in support of Prostate Cancer UK and you can donate on his Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/Mark-Bailey66 Not to be outdone by Mark’s efforts, several of our team also competed in the Surrey Half Marathon with Andy Fleetwood, Wei Li, Jess Oakden, and Ben Parer all successfully completing the race. IS YOUR WEBSITE ‘ADAPTABLE’? From April 21st, if a Google search is made from a mobile phone, the search results that are generated will only include websites that have been optimised for viewing on handheld devices. Google is responding to the changing trends of internet access and will give a higher ranking to websites that are fully optimised and adaptable for mobile access. According to the Office for National Statistics, accessing the internet with a handheld device rose from 24% of all internet traffic in 2010 to 58% in 2014. All businesses should now check to ensure that their websites are optimised accordingly. The Completely Group build all new websites to be responsive by default, and are starting to re-build older sites on request.
