Your day job is running a business

As a small business, what’s the worst thing that can happen when you need digital help?

Could it be a freelancer with limited availability and one eye on travelling next summer? How about a startup that has yet to go through their first 6 months of challenging times and are just waiting for a better offer?

How frustrating is it to get a bit done here and a bit done there with no joined up thinking, management or deadline?

As a business owner with a day job already, how much sleep are you prepared to lose corralling hit or miss digital services while keeping an eye on quality and spend?

The reason I liked Vu is when I did an initial search I found your website really engaging, I liked the websites you had produced and I enjoyed the video testimonials on your case studies. Having worked with you, we feel that you really are marketing professionals. We trust you and you've taken the time to understand more about our business. We feel that you've given massive value to what we're doing.

Vu ran a great marketing workshop with our team. We learned a few things about marketing we didn't know, got a lot of useful information out of our heads and onto paper, and came out of the workshop with a clearer idea of where to go. Vu also shared a very useful content planning calendar to help us be more consistent with our content marketing.

Where can I start. Dom and Rich along with the team at Vu Online are amazing!! In 2019 I was introduced to this company by my friend Rachel Hoskins, I had no idea how to market what I do in my business apart from Instagram and the usual sites that are out there. I built up followers on my sites and had alot of support from these people looking in at my work.I thought I had all this sorted but I was shown this is just 1% market of what I needed. After a meeting with Dom and Rich along with my ideas going forward to get my work and Online classes out there my marketing world and the way they taught me has changed by 100%! I worked with Dom and he closely showed me his way forward, by god was it good and continues to be. He was throwing ideas at me guiding me through my Online launch and helping me understand the way it all works. Its literally now 2 different worlds when it comes to my business and the way they taught me to create sales and more ongoing business. For anyone wanting to expand their business in a professional and of course most profiting way, book these lads in. Honestly, you won't look back! VU Online thank you so much. David Smith MBE.

The Tackling Child Exploitation (TCE) programme is a national programme funded by the Department for Education that seeks to draw together and amplify the best academic, professional and lived experience wisdom on responding to child exploitation. Our website is one of the main channels for presenting and sharing information on an evolving and complex issue. As such, it presents some unique challenges for creating a user experience that invites curiosity. Vuonline has been a fantastic provider who has supported the team and me to think thoughtfully about the design and build of the website. Through a series of three-year programmes of well managed scoping, briefing and design feedback loops, the team at Vuonline have continued to meet the demands and ambition of the TCE programme as we have become more established. The qualities that stand out to me the most have been the adaptability Vuonline has shown to receive initial design briefings that are quite intangible and convoluted at their embryonic stages, and worked to simplify and unpack what this would mean for the user. The outcome has been our initial vision for how we want to engage with our stakeholders has been realised.

Stuart and his team were fantastic. They made a point of developing an understanding of my business, in order to put together video footage that reflected who we are sensitively and yet powerfully. The film crew were incredible, putting us all at our ease and capturing some great footage. I highly recommend Vu Online.

I simply cannot recommend Vu Online highly enough. Dom, Richard and the team are the Yoda's of the digital marketing world. From step one of deciding we needed a new website, Dom expertly delved deep into the business to understand what was needed and wanted, assisting us to discover new ideas and educating us on how to achieve them. It was much more than designing a new website, we went on a complete digital journey to understand the relevance of why we needed to follow a certain structure to benefit from the results long term. They set out a detailed plan for the creation of the website, setting tasks and deadlines to ensure we all kept on track. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish.I can hold my hands up that digital marketing and websites are not my strong point, knowing what I wanted it to do but not really understanding how to achieve it. The team at Vu held our hands and educated us so we could learn and put all the points into practice. We now have a better understanding of digital marketing, a fantastic website and a marketing strategy to assist us in achieving our goals.Thank you Vu Online for all your help and continued support , we are delighted to have you as our digital marketing gurus. To anyone in need of a website and digital marketing, grab a coffee and a chat with the team and you will be in extremely safe hands.

Values-based marketing and relationship building are an essential part of our business and the success of these activities hinge on partnering with someone with a keen desire for collaboration, the patience and skill set to understand our business as if it were their own, and a knowledge for measuring our progress. From my experience Vu Online is one of a very select league of marketing practices that I would recommend to others as they consistently demonstrate the expertise and attitude to fulfil this role whilst also adding value to the quality of our product.

I attended the SEO Training course at VU with Dom, and it was brilliant! I went in with barely any idea what SEO meant or entailled and left with lots of ideas on how to get the best out of our website, and keep an eye on its perfomance. Dom made everything understandable and I really enjoyed the day.

Vu Online was the first marketing and web agency I worked with as an in-house copywriter and for me they set the standard for professionalism, transparency, and friendliness. Having worked with other agencies since I can honestly say that any business who uses Vu is in safe hands - unbeatable support at each stage of the process and engagement with the client to create maximum impact for the brand and website.

We’ve been working with Vu since 2017. During this time they’ve built us a new website and provided ongoing digital marketing support and advice. They’ve proved themselves to be proactive, professional and creative. They were quick to understand our needs, as well as get their heads around the nuances of an industry they hadn’t previously worked in. We have no hesitation in recommending the team at Vu.

VU Online is a very professional company who are somehow also able to come across in a very personal way, accepting that not all clients necessarily know technical terms, cutting out jargon and making things easy to work through in a measured and constructive manner.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and in fact have already. A truly global company who are able to work both on a local and international level.

For anyone procrastinating about investing in a new website and publicity for their company, do it with VU. However large or small you are, established or starting out, I can vouch for them - they are brilliant! I am an artist, arts facilitator and collaborator. Since entrusting VU to design and build my website and grow my online presence, my confidence and quality of work has gone from strength to strength and work opportunities blossomed. A number of users of my website have commented - "Its fantastically efficient and easy to navigate. The links are brilliantly placed ... and it beautifully sums up you and your work." Thank you, amazing team at VU - one of the best investments I ever made.

Vu are a brilliant company to work with, I can't recommend them more highly.They have advised and guided me through the process of setting up an commerce website that really competes, and together we've created something I'm really proud of. They're reasonable priced, efficient, have bags of patience and really know what they're talking about it! If you need to make a website, look nowhere else.

As a business coach being productive, valuing my time and knowing the importance of resonating out there in the world of social media is essential for my business and indeed for any business today. If you’re not able to actually comment and be a commentator in the social sphere no one will hear you. Here’s the thing, the paradox if you will, how do you ensure your message is heard without spending all your time on social media. Social media can very easily sock up huge amounts of your time, so what do you do? That’s simple, engaged with VU, they clearly understand who I am, who I want to reach out to and my message. Since engaging VU to manage, run and maintain my social media presence I have been able to focus additional time ON my business in delivering value. I am advised on the message and what’s currently trending, opportunities, conversations to join in on and when I should post. Today my posts are timely, shared and effective. I have built strong presence in the region and building a great reputation. I’m able to focus on what’s going to be really engaging and all with the aim to communicate and build relations with my prospects. As with any investment am I getting a ROI, simply yes. Not only can I see the level of engagement growing VU also back it up with data, I’m actually given a summary of the analytics. Without hesitation, being a congruent business owner, if you want, not only to grow your presence on social media, but want to do it in a meaningful way to reach your audience and build a reputation you have to talk to VU. Thanks team VU.

As a social enterprise and non-profit, investing in professional support can feel like a big leap. Our work with Vu has proven them to be worth their weight in gold. Their ability and enthusiasm to understand a project, to know it inside out and to target our niche market has had astonishing results. I highly recommend them.
