MCR Media

Client Overview

Max Robinson, owner of MCR Media, a well-established signage and print business, approached us with the goal of expanding his company's reach and generating more qualified leads through a revitalised online presence. With years of expertise in delivering high-quality printing and signage solutions, MCR Media needed a digital platform that would showcase their capabilities and convert visitors into customers.

The Challenge

Despite their excellent reputation and quality craftsmanship, MCR Media's previous website was not performing as a lead generation tool. Max identified several key issues that needed addressing:

• An outdated design that didn't reflect their professional capabilities
• Poor visibility in search engine results for relevant industry terms
• Lack of a comprehensive portfolio showcasing their diverse project range
• Ineffective lead capture mechanisms
• Limited mobile functionality deterring on-the-go business enquiries
• Difficulty in updating content and showcasing new services

Our Approach

Discovery & Planning

We began with a thorough audit of MCR Media's existing website, competitive landscape, and target audience. Through consultations with Max, we identified that the primary clientele spans local businesses, marketing agencies, event organisers, schools, universities and retail establishments - each with distinct needs and priorities.

Our research revealed that potential clients were particularly interested in seeing examples of previous work, understanding turnaround times, and receiving quick, accurate quotes.

Design Direction

The design strategy focused on positioning MCR Media as a modern, reliable partner for all printing and signage needs:

• A bold, contemporary visual identity using a colour palette that complements their brand
• A clean layout that puts the focus on their impressive project portfolio
• Strategic use of white space to create visual breathing room for their vibrant work samples
• Clear categorisation of services to help visitors quickly find relevant information
• Custom iconography to illustrate production capabilities and service benefits
• Prominent call-to-action elements optimised for lead generation

Content Structure

We developed a user-centric site architecture to guide visitors efficiently:

• A dynamic homepage highlighting MCR Media's core services and value propositions
• A comprehensive portfolio section organised by project type and industry
• Detailed service pages explaining processes, materials, and applications
• An engaging 'About Us' section establishing MCR Media's expertise and history
• Strategically placed testimonials from satisfied clients
• A streamlined quote request system to capture qualified leads
• Blog content showcasing industry insights and project spotlights

Technical Implementation

The website was built with a focus on performance, usability, and lead generation:

• Fully responsive design ensuring seamless experience across all devices
• Custom quote calculator for common products to facilitate quick enquiries
• Integration with CRM system to track and nurture leads
• Optimised image galleries showcasing high-resolution work without impacting load times
• Comprehensive SEO implementation targeting local and industry-specific search terms
• Google Analytics and conversion tracking to measure performance
• User-friendly content management system allowing the team to easily update portfolios

The Results

The new MCR Media website delivered impressive results within the first year:

• 64% increase in organic traffic from targeted search terms
• 42% improvement in conversion rate for quote requests
• Reduction in bounce rate from 65% to 31%
• Average session duration increased by a minute
• Significant improvement in mobile enquiries, now accounting for 45% of all leads
• Expanded reach into new geographical areas previously underrepresented in their client base
