The award, sponsored by Huntingdonshire District Council, was a welcome surprise for the BrightVisions team. The site was re-launched in May 2012 with a fresh new look thanks to the great ideas from the team who took on the creation of the new BrightVisions website with three key objectives in mind, simplicity, functionality and visibility.

Since launching the new site back in May, BrightVisions have applied proven Search Engine Optimisation techniques which has seen the site rocket to Google’s top-ranking search results for ‘IT Support Cambridge’ improving the visibility and brand awareness of BrightVisions in the market place.

The website has also improved communications with our clients as the site now includes a Support Centre, facilitating instant ‘live chat’ between clients and technicians enabling customers to take advantage of the BrightVisions team expertise immediately.

Phil Mashinchi, Managing Director at BrightVisions, said: “Having previously won the Small Business of the Year award on more than one occasion, the Website of the Year award is a welcome addition to the trophy cabinet”

The award was presented to Phil Mashinchi (Managing Director), Helen Mashinchi (Company Secretary), Alex Foster (Technical Director) and Matt Bunnage (Services Director) who accepted the award on behalf of the BrightVisions team at the glittering gala awards dinner which took place on Friday 2 November.
