We Operate Across the UK!

Are you busy with deadlines and appointments? Never got time to sort out your day-to-day bookkeeping? Davenports are different from any other accountancy service throughout the UK.

We will arrange for a convenient time for a collection of your binbags or carrier bags full of documents, in whatever state. We will process the whole lot and get your accounts back in order.

How different is that?

You may ask how much this service costs. It’s all included in our bookkeeping charges! We do not charge extra for collection.

If you’re thinking about using Davenports, but are put off by the distance between your company and ours, don’t worry. We have clients from across the UK.

Because we use electronic communication, it doesn’t matter where you’re based. You can email us at any time, and our new Live Chat system means that you can get hold of us when you need us most.

Of course, if you fancy a good old chin wag, or to meet face to face, we’re always available.

We’re soon going to be adding a client area onto our website, which means that you’ll be able to download your important documents, and send documents to us electronically in an instant.

If you’re thinking of using Davenports, but are worried about the distance, take a look at some of these satisfied customers:

R. Wake - Bristol

“I came to use Davenports because I just love the dynamic way of their collection service. The whole process made me feel at ease. They arranged at time, date and told me the name of the driver collecting my bookkeeping, all this helped to gain my trust - I felt very reassured. Plus, they give me a courtesy call when the bookkeeping arrived safely at their processing centre. Once they received it, they followed up regularly to make sure that everything was understood. As a result, I’ve managed to get money back from HMRC that I didn’t even know I had!”

P. Johnston - Manchester

“My books were in a complete mess! I literally had sacks full of paper and documents in no order whatsoever. I literally thought I was at the breaking point and was going to lose my business. I sent a simple email to Davenports. One of the directors gave me a call within the hour and the relationship started from there. I’m now in complete control of my business. I have regular, monthly, management reports from Davenports, and I don’t have to worry about my accounts any more. And the best thing about it is that, with today’s technology, I can manage the whole process from the comfort of my armchair! Thank you Davenports, you’ve saved my business and I can sleep at night.”

Take Control with Davenport CMS

It used to be that having a website presence was enough to differentiate your company from the bricks-and-mortar stores, and drive business your way. Many of these sites were developed ad-hoc using FrontPage, or with a little assistance from your brother’s auntie’s nephew.

Then came the trend for professionally-designed websites - often at a high cost. These websites would be updated infrequently - with a change of phone number or the occasional new product - mostly because any changes required going back to your web design company and paying… again.

These days, simply having a website is not enough. What differentiates businesses online now is content: content that is fresh, and content that is posted frequently. This particularly matters if you want to keep a loyal base of customers, or have your site rank highly in search engines.

But adding content is expensive or difficult, right?

Normally, yes. But a Davenport CMS installation makes this easy and free!

Davenport CMS is special software that sits on your website and makes it child’s play to add new content or edit existing, out of date information.

Davenport Web will design the look of your website, make it compatible with Davenport CMS and add as much initial content as you need. After that, it’s over to you.

At any time, you can log in and write a new page or post. You can add images, videos, sounds and links to other sites. And all of this is without any extra cost to you.

We’re so happy with Davenport CMS that we use it on our own websites, including this one! To show you how easy it is, here’s an image of me writing this very post:

Case Study: Davenports

Davenport Web has just finished redesigning our very own corporate website. Here, we examine why the change was needed, the design decisions behind the change, and the outcome.

We’ll also be talking about a lot of the services that Davenport Web provide, so if you see anything that you’d like to see on your own website, get in touch.

Davenports has always been proud to offer accountancy, web and print & design to our clients in one centralized location. However, the company’s website structure simply didn’t reflect this - www.davenportenterprises.co.uk was for accountancy, www.davenportwebsitedesign.co.uk was for web and www.davenportprintanddesign.co.uk was for print & design.

Having these three websites confused our customers and reduced web traffic going to each of these sites.

We decided to unify under the Davenports name under the www.davenportenterprises.co.uk domain name, which had the highest traffic ranking.

From there, we designed a navigation structure that would emphasise the fact that there are three main services the company provides - making it obvious for visitors that all three are provided, but also that you can mix and match between the three as you choose.

Because there are three companies, we decided to dedicate the homepage to news, split into six features from the three companies - two features each, plus an individual latest news box for each company along with a company-wide special offers box.

News is going to be published frequently, and it would be a nightmare to have to keep the features and news boxes up to date manually, so we decided to use Davenport CMS to manage all the content we’re going to be publishing.

By assigning news into categories - e.g. Accountancy Features, Web Features, etc. - the website takes care of the hard work of working out what to display where, allowing less-technical members of the Davenports team to publish content, and increasing the amount of communication we can have through the website.

After making the decision, we used the company’s brand guidelines to create a look and feel consistent with the company’s image, and then set up hosting and email to support the site.

The result is what you see here. Please do leave a comment to let us know what you think of the new site!
