Fiftyone – Cambridge Bed and Breakfast

We recently completed a website for the new "Fiftyone" bed and breakfast in cambridge. To get something up very quickly was the most important requirement so we proposed making a straight-forward Wordpress template based site with some text, photos, and contact details. This simplicity meant that the website could be developed quickly and as a result it could be delivered at a cost that the client was very happy with.

Getting a good looking, functional website up quickly at low cost is a good first step - and once the B&B becomes established we can work to develop it further.
