The winner of August’s Website of the Month competition is Liz Usher, who built her website www.mummymakes.net  to showcase her range of home-made fudge, bunting and cards. Since getting started last year, her business has gone from strength to strength – and her website has really helped the business grow! The site is packed with attractive pictures and the content is quirky, funny and very well-presented. Particularly impressive is how Liz has chosen fonts and graphics that tie in perfectly with the ‘home-made’ ethos of her business.

Liz commented, “ From a small beginning only a year ago, my hand-made enterprise was starting to grow and many customers as well as the organisers of craft shows I was attending were asking me if I had a website. I figured that a modest web presence was needed. I had bought the Mr Site package a year or so ago and it was perfect for the building the site I was looking for. I wanted the site to visually reflect the handmade goods I sell, so I used lots of drawings and have made the text into JPEGS – the site’s basically built of pictures! I found the whole process extremely easy and trouble free and it only took me a couple of days to build (really...!). I'm delighted that so many people comment on it.

 Next? Maybe I'll be brave enough to add a shop so customers can buy direct online - and I'll certainly be exploring the extras Mr Site has to offer , as so far the process has been simplicity itself.”
