THE RED DEVILS PARACHUTE DISPLAY TEAM excited the crowds with their colourful display when they dropped into the Main Ring at the HECKINGTON SHOW on Saturday. With temperatures reaching 28º, the 10 mile road race must have been tough going for the runners. The camels were, of course, home from home and thrived in the heat when competing in the CAMEL RACING EVENT unlike their riders who got a bit hot under the collar.

One of the main attractions on Sunday was, of course, the SHOW JUMPING EVENT and there was also an opportunity to get up close and personal to prize winning livestock and the farmers who rear and take care of these fabulous creatures.

With over 20,000 visitors to entertain, the HECKINGTON SHOW COMMITTEE should be congratulated for arranging yet another successful and well organised Show. There were attractions for the whole family to enjoy – loads to do and some tasty treats to eat and drink– from personal experience - the DUTCH MINI-PANCAKES with chocolate sauce were really very nice!

VANTAGE WEB STUDIOS is looking forward to exhibiting again next year and we would like to thank our existing clients and new clients for visiting our Stand.

Press Release - SPALDING CITIZEN - 7th December 2007

A NEWLY launched Spalding business run by former schoolfriends aims to sort out internet hassles for businesses.
Matt Richardson (21) and Scott Thompson (20) former Robert Manning Technology College students, head up Vantage Web Studios, and after leaving scholl the pair have been perfecting their skills in website creation and design.
Head of technical architecture Scott said "During our research we found that many small to medium sized businesses would love to have a website but were worried about being left high and dry with a website that has no maintenance package in place once online.
"There's a misconception that websites look after themselves when online - this is really not the case."
The company offers a maintenance package so clients' investment in having a website created and developed is rewarded by it being maintained and kept online.
Prices start from £600 to get websites online and from £14.99 per month for maintenance.
Senior designer Matt said: "With the technical know how we've developed over the years, we have creatively designed websites which are powerful, well organised and efficient."
The three packages that we currently offer are called Start-Up, Business and E-Commerce and free advice is given on a one to one basis for which package will be the ideal solution for small and medium sized businesses.
For further information on Vantage Web Studios, please contact Christine Grocock on 01775 670180 at Bank House Farm, The Delph, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE11 3JH or visit www.vantagewebstudios.com

Cutting Edge Design: Our creative experts will strive to keep up to date with fast moving design trends. For this reason, your website will be contemporary in design and artistically portray you and your company.

Dynamic Development: A highly skilled development team will create a website that runs smooth – visitors to your site will be able to navigate from page to page effortlessly.

Project Management: To give your project continuity every website project will be managed and overseen from start to finish by an appointed Project Manager.

Limited Company: Vantage Web Studios is VAT registered and part of Vantage Business Group Limited – definitely not a “fly-by-night, here today gone tomorrow” scenario.

Packages To Suit: Your website requirements should be catered for within the three very distinct and comprehensive packages – Startup, Business & E-Commerce. The components included within the Startup, Business & E-Commerce packages are clearly defined to make it easy for you to decide which package will suit you and your business best.

Competitive Prices: Transparency is what we are about in respect of our pricing structure. You can see exactly what you get for your money from each Package. Comparing like for like I think you will agree that our prices are extremely competitive for a website designed and developed with the expertise of Vantage Web Studios.

Great communication: Communication is at the heart of our philosophy. Every client is offered a one-on-one pre-start meeting – free of charge. By getting to know our clients personally we will successfully reflect their business effectively via their website.

Outsourcing: Amazingly, website developers accept jobs and then outsource the work to, say, students, India and/or Canada. From our point of view, this is totally unacceptable as you will have no idea of who is “working” on your behalf. The quality of the work will be jeopardised because as soon as it’s outsourced then there is little or no control in respect of the design and production techniques. Also, these “subcontractors” are not accountable or professional in their approach. Vantage Web Studios will NEVER outsource work – everything will be handled in-house.

Peace of Mind: Priority support is yours by taking advantage of the Vantage Web Studios excellent Maintenance Package. By subscribing to our cost-effective Maintenance Package, we guarantee to get you online and to keep you online.

Exclusively Website Development: Too many “internet” companies spread themselves far too thinly. By concentrating exclusively on website development only, we guarantee to produce highly efficient and creatively designed websites that will get your business noticed.

PRESS RELEASE

FRIENDS COMING HOME FOR WEB DESIGN LAUNCH

Mates since they met at St John’s Primary School, Spalding, Matt Richardson and Scott Thompson became successful dot com entrepreneurs when still in their teens.

Their website www.musicplayer.fm won plaudits for innovation on blogs worldwide because it enabled music lovers to listen to their own store of tunes online anywhere.

Now at 21 and 20 respectively, the pair are building on this international reputation to launch their own website design and maintenance service Vantage Web Studios.

They have set up websites for customers across the Atlantic. Now they are hoping local people will want to use their skills.

Matt said: “Scott and I have been friends right the way through school. He’s the ICT expert and I was much more into music at Robert Manning College, Bourne. When we left I asked him to help with an idea that took off. It was a music/social network called FameGen.com and we got 1,000 bands on it.

“My uncle and aunt Rod and Christine Grocock saw the potential and helped us with the business side and kept us focused. After that first success Scott used some really exciting new advances in technology for our next idea, Music-player, which we did together just to show off really, not to make money – but we got a lot of work through it from all over the world.”

“A lot of people read about us on the blogs and asked us to design their websites.”

Vantage Web Studios is a separate business working in tandem with the Grococks’ own new company Vantage Windows & Conservatories.

Scott said: “It’s a good arrangement as Rod and Christine are in their 50’s and not into ICT so we take care of that side and they take care of the business side.”

While researching the market, Matt Richardson, Senior Designer and Scott Thompson, Head of Technical Architecture found that although every business needs a website to succeed in the 21st Century many are reluctant to go ahead because of the lack of support once online.

Scott says: “During our research we found that many small to medium sized businesses would love to have a website but were worried about being left high and dry with a website that has no maintenance package in place. There’s a misconception that websites look after themselves when online – this is really not the case. By subscribing to our very cost-effective maintenance package, the investment our clients make in having a website created and developed by us is rewarded by it being maintained and kept online”

Peace of mind is the winning formula of Complete Website Solutions.

Matt says: “With the technical know-how we’ve developed over the years we have creatively designed websites that are powerful, well-organised and efficient. The three packages that we currently offer are called Start-Up, Business and E-Commerce. Free advice is given on a one-on-one basis in respect of which package will be the ideal solution for small and medium sized businesses.”
