Mark’s challenge comes following the successful launch new websites for two popular local businesses; LKT Electrical Services and Wadleys. Their new, ORCA - powered, websites (www.lktelectricalservices.com and www.wadleys.co.uk), are a clear demonstration to other local businesses of the power of the Internet; something that they can no longer afford to ignore!

This comes at a time when many local businesses are drawing in and should instead be focusing on attracting new customers, getting back in touch with local people and putting the building blocks in place for the future.

LKT and Wadleys are leading by example though, with both their websites on the coveted Page 1 of Google, helping to prove just what a lucrative business tool the Internet can be.

We are really pleased with the website design that ORCA created for us. We were really impressed with the professional and high quality service we received and we are continually impressed with the outstanding aftercare that we've received since our website went live,” explains Lee Thomas of LKT Electrical Services. “The work that our new website has generated has already covered the cost of the website, we are thrilled with these results.”

“Being able to market ourselves online provides us with a real boost and a fantastic front end for our business,” added Wadley’s Keith Wadley. “It means we no longer have to rely on word of mouth and passing traffic. We are confident that we now have not just a website but a genuine business tool to help drive our business forwards.” 

Want to level the playing field against the bigger brands?

“A lot of local, independent businesses struggle to compete against their bigger, national competitors,” explains Mark. “What they might not realise though is that the Internet can help them level the playing field. It’s great to see both LKT and Wadleys take on the big guys online.

“Many of the local business owners I’ve spoken to, are unsure of how to get online, or they already have a website but are really struggling to use it. That’s why I’m challenging other local businesses here in Bicester to sit up and establish a web presence that really makes the Internet work for their business, before it’s too late.

“There’s no reason why other local businesses can’t emulate the success LKT and Wadleys have had online. It’s a lot quicker, cheaper and easier than you might think for you and your business to start taking advantage of the power of the web.”
