If you followed the most recent series of the BBC Apprentice, you'll most likely know all about Alana Spencer and her business Ridiculously Rich by Alana. Last year, Alana triumphed over a number of other eager entrepreneurs to win the twelfth series of the hit show, resulting in a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar and a dream opportunity to grow the business she started while she was still in school.
Ridiculously Rich sells Alana's popular and deliciously luxurious cakes, and on her new website, you can now apply for the exciting opportunity to become an ambassador or wholesale distributor of her products.
One of the best features on the new Ridiculously Rich website is an interactive map that allows you to find out which food markets and events are happening near you. This feature is totally mobile-friendly, so you will be able to stay up to date wherever you go!
Alongside this exciting new feature, the new and improved Ridiculously Rich website also has a variety of new integrated and bespoke systems designed to make the website fully user-friendly. These include:
- A full ecommerce system with SagePay tokenised integration
- Integrated Royal Mail Shipping v2 API (DMO) & custom dispatch manager
- Integrated Wholesale Customer & Online Transactions System
- A bespoke Ambassador System
- A bespoke Subscription System
- Integrated Bespoke Events/Map Features
- Integrated Blog & Social Media
- A bespoke Control Panel & Order Managment System
Alana is, in fact, the third BBC Apprentice winner we've developed a website for. Over the years, we at Designer Websites have also developed websites for 2012 winner Ricky Martin and his business Hyper Recruitment Solutions, as well as 2013 winner Dr. Leah Totton and her business Dr. Leah Clinics.
Here's what Alana had to say about the new Ridiculously Rich website and working with Designer Websites:
I'm really pleased to now have a fantastic new website where I can sell my Ridiculously Rich cakes. The best parts about the new website are that people can now apply to become ambassadors or wholesalers of my products, which I think will be an exciting adventure for everyone involved. There's even a feature for ambassadors to see who the other ambassadors are near them and when the next foodie events are, which will be great for keeping everyone in the loop!
Designer Websites was recommended to me by the previous BBC Apprentice winners they have worked with and I'm so glad to have been introduced to them. The new website looks lovely and has all of the great features I was looking for. Designer Websites were a delight to work with and I will be more than happy to recommend them to anyone one else seeking a web development company.
Thanks for the lovely review, Alana! The whole team here at Designer Websites would like to wish Alana and her business partner Lord Sugar the best of luck with Ridiculously Rich and these new ventures.

recently told you about the new website we created for TimberTech, one of the UK's leading suppliers of composite decking. TimberTech UK is part of Greensquares, a British company specialising in a variety of high-quality/low-maintenance solutions for the home and garden; Greensquares have a whole family of websites showcasing different parts of their extensive product range, and the TimberTech site wasn't the only one they asked us to update for 2017.
PrimaPorcelain is the brand under which Greensquares provide a whole host of gorgeous porcelain tiles and paving slabs to customers right across the country. With nearly 40 different colours and styles - all of which can be used internally or externally - available to order from stock, PrimaPorcelain have the perfect porcelain flooring solution for practically any project, and their low-porosity products are every bit as practical and low-maintenance as TimberTech's composite deck boards.
Greensquares asked us to revamp the PrimaPorcelain website in order to better show off their beautiful porcelain tiles and give customers a keener sense of the possibilities afforded by these products. The new design,
which is now live here, is fully responsive and offers a great user experience across all devices. It also shows off PrimaPorcelain's tiles in spectacular fashion, with amazing photographs of the tiles in situ sitting alongside hi-res images of the products that really give you a feel for their irresistible texture.
We also worked to improve PrimaPorcelain's
product selector tool, making it easier than ever for site visitors to compare their options side-by-side and order up to 3 free tile samples to assist with the decision-making process.
If you're thinking of revamping your home and/or garden, be sure to visit the new PrimaPorcelain website and see what they have to offer.

Really Wild Bird Food is a family-run business based in Hampshire. They specialise in growing, harvesting and supplying seeds and feed mixes for garden birds.
Since the business was first set up in the early nineties, their selection of products has expanded rapidly, which means that their website is now a one-stop shop for a variety of garden bird and wildlife products, including:
- Suet products, peanuts and live/dried mealworms
- Bird feeders, tables and stations
- Feeder cleaning and hygiene products
- Bird baths and nesting boxes
- Food, habitats and accessories for attracting other garden wildlife
Both the farm and the business are headed by husband-and-wife team Richard and Lesley, who came to us with a vision of a new, user-friendly ecommerce website that retained their approachable, hands-on image. In addition, they also wanted the ability to easily manage their product listings and the company blog, which was especially important for a couple with such a long to-do list!
We are now happy to say that the Really Wild Bird Food website has been completely revamped to include an eye-catching, user-friendly design, highly optimised SEO and copy, and a functional content management system that's easy to use.
