Piston websites go global.

Why a Piston website is a quick and easy way to promote your business.

So why are Piston Websites so popular? Let me explain, Piston Design create highly visual, easy to navigate and easy to manage websites. We are freelance, which means one call, one person, one point of contact. General feedback we receive from new clients is that they have struggled to build a comprehensive website as the experience of dealing with multiple-member studio's or multi-national companies means the feeling and passion is lost, usually after the first conversation. What is really important his our ability to build websites quickly and to a very high standard across all device platforms including mobile, tablet and desktop applications. Piston now provide global services and now hold business websites in both Canada and the USA!


Unsure what this would mean for you, your business and your clients? Check out my most frequently asked questions below;


Why do I need a Piston Design's Responsive Website Builder?

Piston Design Responsive Website is a complete multi-screen solution which creates one website that works great on desktop, tablet, and mobile. These sites work together to provide our customers with a great user experience, regardless of the device they're on.

What is a responsive site?

A responsive site is one that changes the way its content displays depending on the size of the device on which it's being viewed. Responsive sites tend to use media queries to ask the viewer's device its size and type, and change content depending on the result they get. They also tend to use variable image sizes and proportion-based element widths to ensure their content is displayed well wherever they're viewed.

What advantages does a responsive site offer?

Responsive sites allow Piston to customise content for each device size and so tailor their visitor's experience based on the device from which the site is viewed.

Are Piston’s websites responsive design?

Yes. Piston Design uses responsive design techniques to present much of the same content differently based on the device on which it's being viewed. It also allows you to determine what content should show on which devices and how that content should be displayed.

Since Instagram’s creation, it has grown into the ultimate platform for sharing photos. Over 800 million monthly users are active on the site. More than 60 million photos are posted each day, and 1.6 billion daily “likes” are given. There’s also a large number of influencers on the site with a massive amount of followers. And with the right plan, you can become an influential brand, too. You need to post the right kind of content to stay relevant to current followers while also bringing in new ones. But it can be hard to know which kinds of posts work best for growing your audience. Here are some powerful Instagram marketing tips (that actually work) that you can use to milk the popular platform for all that it’s worth. Switch to a business profile ASAP First, you need to switch to a business profile. Before you start thinking about your Instagram marketing plan, be sure that you have an Instagram Business Account. It’s easy to switch your current profile to a business account. Open your account; Click little Gear > Click 'Switch to business account'. It is that easy. You have now unlocked some cool business features. Post product teasers that will (gently) urge people to buy What if you could sell more products just by posting product teasers on Instagram? Well, you can. Instagram is a great place to advertise your products. And if you play your cards right, you won’t annoy users or scare them off with advertisements, either. If you’re too pushy, followers will drop like flies. But product teaser posts are a simple way to talk about your product and increase excitement without looking like you’re trying too hard. Use Instagram Stories If you want to generate leads, Instagram Stories are here to help. Instagram stories differ from regular Instagram posts because they come in a “slideshow” format. They’re only live for 24 hours, but Stories can be saved to any of your devices and reused at a later point. Eh.... take good photos.... It may seem obvious, but good photographs make the world of difference for your feed and your followers. Invest in a good photographer/ videographer that can assist you (we do this here at piston). Pictures win prizes on social media. Create engagement, start a conversation and reap the benefits. Check out some images below from some products we have worked with;
