New look website as centre shops local

A Darlington shopping centre has invested in a new shop window after enlisting the services of local web design business Geonet Solutions to develop a new look website.

The Cornmill Shopping Centre has launched the new site to enhance its online presence. With a fresh and vibrant new look, the site has additional features to improve the customer experience including an interactive map of the shopping centre which is mobile friendly and can be updated easily by the centre itself, and a click and collect feature allowing people to make advance purchases from many of the stores.

Cornmill, which is home to over 40 independent and high street stores, appointed Geonet, who have been based in Darlington town centre since 1996, to design and develop the new site after being impressed with their approach.

Geonet were asked to modernise the image of the Cornmill Centre, and produce a contemporary, responsive website that gave the centre greater control, allowing staff to manage content quickly and regularly.

Mike Overfield. managing director of Geonet Solutions who took over the business in 2010, said: “As a business with its roots in Darlington we were delighted to be approached by the Cormill Shopping Centre, which is such a significant part of the town, to re-develop their website and give it a fresh new look with extra features to enhance its functionality.

“Having worked with other retail units in the past, we brought our experience to the project and integrated several bespoke features to ensure the Cornmill website was modern, functional and dynamic for both users and staff members alike. The partnership with Cornmill has been a huge success and we hope that everyone loves the new site as much as we do.”

Susan Young, centre manager at the Cornmill, said: “We’re really pleased with our new website. It is essentially our own ‘shop window’ so it was important that it looked appealing and included all of the functionality that our customers expect. Supporting other local businesses is something we at the Cornmill take great pride in, and Geonet have done a really fantastic job.”

The Cornmill Shopping Centre is home to over 40 fantastic stores including Next, HMV, WHSmith, Top Shop and Primark. For further information contact tel: 01325 369111, email: info@cornmillcentre.co.uk or visit the website: www.cornmillcentre.co.uk
