Sweet-Apple

Based in Edington, Wiltshire, Sweet-Apple is a one-person operation run by Clive Sweeting, offering Mac-focused technical support alongside freelance web design and development across Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire. Clients include design companies, freelancers, small businesses, professional photographers, home users and education customers, with support extending to mixed-platform environments running Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Sweet-Apple also works as a subcontractor for other designers and agencies, helping convert concepts into finished websites, emails and marketing campaigns. On the web side, services cover landing pages, bespoke web applications and eCommerce sites, built with attention to visual design, page speed and search-friendliness. Content management and eCommerce builds use WordPress, Drupal and Magento, while custom web application development draws on Laravel, Symfony and Zend Framework 1. Beyond building sites to be search-engine friendly by default, Sweet-Apple offers dedicated Search Engine Optimisation work to research and develop strategies aimed at driving targeted traffic. Additional services include email marketing, web hosting, and email hosting and migrations. On the support side, work includes on-site and remote Apple technical support, Mac/iPhone/iPod repairs, personalised tuition, consultancy on hardware and software integration, wireless networking and VPN setup, and assistance switching to Mac OS X, delivered on-site at client premises rather than via a shopfront model.
