Last week we told you about the launch of 'Formula Dragon' - a competition launched by SVG Promotions Limited to attempt to get Welsh citizens involved in motor racing. Formula Dragon aims to make race car driving accessible to anyone over the age of 16 with a spare £30. This fantastic competition also provides scope for individuals to become professional race car mechanics and technicians. 

Designer Websites are proud sponsors of Formula Dragon because we think it's a fantastic opportunity to make motor racing more accessible to Welsh citizens and we're keen to see how the work of SVG Promotions Limited impacts motor racing in Wales. 

If you fancy yourself as a race car driver, if you love formula one of if you'd quite simply love the opportunity to give it a go, then enter on the Formula Dragon Website and for just £30 you'll be entered into the competition to win an opportunity of a lifetime. Ultimately any successful competitors will compete in the British Touring Car Championship backed by a Welsh team. 

Below are a couple of videos from the launch to provide you with more information, but in essence, the message of Formula Dragon is : a chance to drive a real race car for just £30!

Today Designer Websites attended the launch of Formula Dragon, an exciting new motor sport competition designed to promote and nurture motor sport in Wales with the aim of producing quality BTCC drivers, mechanics and technicians.

Formula Dragon is a motor sport competition open to every resident of Wales who are aged between 16 and 50. The aim is to make motor sport accessible to all members of the public, and provide the opportunity for Welsh citizens to become racing drivers, mechanics or technicians within three levels of UK motor racing.  Any successful competitors will compete in the British Touring Car Championship supported by a team of Welsh drivers.

Designer Websites is a sponsor of Formula Dragon, and we jumped on the opportunity to back such a unique cause after being involved with the initial website design. To promote motor sport in Wales and make racing accessible to the public is a niche idea which we think will provide a fantastic opportunity for Welsh people and we’re pleased to have our name on the sponsors list.

The launch was held at the Liberty Hotel in Swansea and an enthusiastic and informative talk was given by members of SVG Promotions Limited, the company behind the Formula Dragon competition. SVG Promotions Limited are responsible for the hit program “So You Want to Be an F1 Driver” aired on Channel Five, Sky Sports and ITV’s Men and Motors, and are hoping to emulate this success with Formula Dragon.

It was great to hear their visions for the future and their intentions to raise awareness of road safety amongst young people in Wales. We had an exciting and interesting day at the launch and can’t wait to see what Formula Dragon holds for the future of motor racing in Wales. 

Katherine Cole is a professional harpist from Penarth who regularly performs at weddings and other events. She wanted to update her web presence so as to attract additional business, and we're pleased to announce that her brand new website has just gone live.

This project involved creating a new design for the site and optimising each page to rank for terms like 'wedding harpist' and 'professional harpist'. We also built a music player into the site, allowing visitors to hear Katherine's music at the click of a mouse.

Katherine is very talented - not many people can sing and play the harp at the same time - and we hope she is pleased with the work we've done. If you'd like to book Katherine for your event - or if you're just curious to check out our latest work - head on over to www.harpsinger.co.uk now.

Our latest project to go live is the new website for PMG, a team of commercial property developers operating in the UK and abroad. PMG Group have been responsible for all sorts of exciting developments over the years - our followers here in South Wales will probably be most interested in their contribution towards the development of Cardiff's City Stadium!

We think that PMG do some really great work, turning brownfield sites into residential areas and developing retail parks and industrial utilities that really do make a difference. Their new website is sleek, minimal, and modern-looking - we think it conveys a very professional image, and we hope that the PMG directors feel the same way.

We had a lovely visitor to the Designer Websites studio today in the form of The Apprentice 2013 winner, Dr. Leah Totton. We are in the process of building Dr. Leah a bespoke website to advertise her upcoming skin rejuvenation clinic. 

Dr. Leah spent the day at our office with our creative and enthusiastic team of designers and developers, to decide on the finishing touches to her site. We made great progress, and are very excited to unveil her brand new bespoke website soon! We're very pleased that Dr. Leah loves the design we have created. She even tweeted a lovely little message about Designer Websites the minute she boarded her train, and shared a picture of herself with our infamous blue wall. We're all really excited about Leah's new site and we can't wait to see it live!
