Marina Gibson

Website for professional angler

THE BRIEF

Marina Gibson is a UK angler who provides fishing tuition to all age groups from beginner to expert level. She promotes fishing and is especially encouraging more women to take up the sport.

Marina had a website that was running very slowly. She has a fantastic range of photos taken by professional photographers but the web platform she was using couldn’t cope with resizing the images which was the main reason for the site’s poor performance

She wanted a slicker, more professional looking site with a calendar of her events to make it easier for people to join her at various activities. She also wanted the ability to add images, pages, posts etc. so she had full control of her site’s content.

Marina has a large following on social media and wanted to include her videos on the site.

WHAT I DID

I designed the website for Marina, using colours from her logo. I created wireframes for various screen sizes so that we could see how the content would change according to the space available.

The site highlights Marina’s 3 main services but it is possible to add to these if needed.

I took the content from Marina’s existing site and ensured that old pages were redirected to the new ones to avoid affecting the site’s ranking with search engines.

I advised Marina about hosting and set up a new, private server for the site so the site is now lightning quick.

I honestly love looking at my website, you did such an amazing job.
It’s so easy to navigate, a million times better than my last one!!
