The website we’ve built for Secondhand Alley is overflowing with fantastic photographs and it’s well worth checking out the gallery!
Project Overview
Secondhand Alley is a well-established Bedfordshire-based company with a long trading history and loyal customer base. They specialise in house clearances and have a fabulous store in Maulden – full of unique antiques and bric-a-brac. If you haven’t been, we recommend you pop by. Check out the Secondhand Alley website for the latest opening times and directions.
Early in 2021, Ken Masters, the owner of Secondhand Alley, approached Nifty Bear for a quote for a new website. Before this project went live, the Secondhand Alley website was hosted on Yell. As a result, the website was extremely limited regarding content and design. A Yell listing can also be pretty pricey. The site was tired, and 2021 was the perfect year to give the company’s online profile a facelift.
After being given the green light, the first task as part of this project was to transfer the secondhand-alley.co.uk domain from Yell to the Nifty Bear domain account (123 Reg). In honesty, this can sometimes be frustrating if the original host is tricky to get in contact with. However, to Yell’s credit, they were accommodating, and the domain was transferred in under 48 hours.
Next – a website placeholder. We put a “Coming Soon” banner as the placeholder for the Secondhand Alley website, giving eager customers an indication of the exciting event ahead! With the placeholder in place, the Nifty Bear team could get to work on building the new website.
If you follow Secondhand Alley on social media – you know how entertaining they are. Our favourite is Ken having a cheeky dance on a Friday (and who could blame him). If you don’t follow them – you’re missing out! Ken provides exceptional service to his customers and always has a smile on his face. Social media is a great insight into the business, and we wanted to make sure the website followed the same theme – professional, friendly, personal, informative.
Now complete, the website provides the perfect digital home for Secondhand Alley and is overflowing with fantastic photographs and information about the unique items you can purchase from their retail store. Please do check it out!
