Crusher Hire Kent and Sussex Go Live

They're coming thick and fast! An additional two mini crusher sites went live recently, this time focusing on Crusher Hire in Kent and Crusher Hire in Sussex. The sites both borrow the design from the first Crusher Hire site for the Essex region so there's a similarity there but that's pretty much where it ends. The content and feeds included in the website are customised to each county, so visitors receive weather and news for their own county rather than Essex, handy that!

Crusher Hire Essex goes live

I'm pleased to see a recent website go live, Crusher Hire Essex for Taylor Construction Plant (TCP). It's a small one page website which is a bit of a departure from the main TCP website in terms of the graphic design style but I felt it was high time we tried something new and a juicy micro-site project is always a great opportunity to do just that.

I've made considerable use of the excellent jQuery JavaScript library, in particular the localScroll, Easing and LavaLamp scripts. The overall design is very light in terms of actual text as I've focussed on images as much a possible and used some large and striking photography to make the website stand out from its competitors.

My addiction to MODx continues as I decided to use it for the back-end even though this is just a one page site but it made the process of linking in RSS feeds so straightforward using FeedX rather than hacking around to produce something bespoke. Plus if we need to expand upon the site at a later date, we have the foundations to do so.

I've just done a search on Google.co.uk and Google.com and the site is number one for "crusher hire essex" so that's great news.

The new website Crusher Hire Essex promotes TCP's two mini crushers for hire, the MF-450 mini crusher and the Hi-C40 mini crusher.
