Festaff supply casual staff to festivals across the UK, and required a custom website design which would accurately reflect the business they were in. The web development carried out for Festaff demonstrates that websites structured over good content management systems can achieve high organic search rankings over a broad range of search terms.

The web development project carried out on behalf of Festaff demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our clients; in 2009, we developed a small website which allowed Festaff owner Sandy Reid to get a foothold online with a small website, this website worked so effectively that Sandy commissioned the web development team at Eskdale to rebuild the site using the EskdalemanageIT content management system and URL Tail Rewrite software for the 2010 music festival season.

This web development also has an online job application form which lets potential employees apply online; the application form is cleverly linked to bespoke software that enables Sandy to filter the thousands of online job applications recieved.

Here at Eskdale Solutions we love custom web development and the Festaff website is a classic example of that.

Prior to launching his site in 2009, as part of an online marketing strategy developed by Eskdale Solutions Sandy used Facebook and Twitter to create a buzz and keep fans informed. This worked to great effect with hundreds of online applicants in the first week - the clever use of social media combatted the Google aging delay. Social media continues to play an enourmous part in the success of Festaff and whilst initially sceptical Sandy is now a social media convert having experienced first hand the benefits of a focused social media strategy.
