My idea is...

My name is Rita and 3 years ago my daughter and I started to sell First Communion dresses as a result of difficulties encountered finding items for this ceremony for my granddaughters. Since then we have expanded into christening wear, flower girl dresses and assorted accessories and opened a showroom so that customers can view and try our products. This year we have made the leap to Prom dresses for teenagers and have set up a new website dedicated to Proms (www.littlejemsproms.co.uk). With a new dedicated showroom for the Prom dresses, the new website and stock bought in for this year’s season, the pot is bare and we desperately need some help with additional work on the new website and most importantly SEO. Our market is definitely a niche market but one for which our customers tell us there is a significant need. It would be such a great help to be able to enlist some professional help with both of our websites.
