Updated Web Site Design for BM Equine

BM Equine have been a client of Cyan Shiner for over 6 years, their previous web site design having been active for all that time. The old site was still performing well in the search engines however they felt it was time to evolve its look and feel and integrate more feature rich content such as drop down menus and embedded video.

With this in mind we designed and built their new web site based around the latest web standards and integrated it with Adobe Contribute CMS. This gives them the facility to update all its content in house, easily add new pages of content and optimise them for the search engines based upon simple easy to follow documentation that we provided.
