John O’ Groats is a small village in the Highlands in the county of Caithness. The village is known as the most northerly point of mainland Britain. Synonymous with the metaphor for long trips, the village is often the finishing point for charity fundraising events for those that navigate the 990 miles from Land’s End in the Cornish south to John O’ Groats in the Scottish north. In actual fact John O’Groats isn’t actually the most northerly point on the mainland that accolade belongs to the village of Dunnet!
The town is host to a multitude of Scottish Craft Shops serving the tourists that pass through the area and giving active employment to the 300 or so residents of the village.
Amazingly the famous “journey’s end” signpost at John O’ Groats is privately owned and operated by a Penzance-based firm Courtwood Photographic. Private photography is not allowed at the private property and to take your photo taken at the famous landmark costs in excess of £9.
The town takes its name from a Dutchman Jan de Groot who obtained a grant for a ferry from Scottish mainland to Orkney.
If you’re based in John O’ Groats and are looking to establish a presence on the internet Blue Stream Design has competent designers that specialise in tailored solutions to meet all budgets.
When choosing a Web Design company there are lots of things that you need to consider and factor into the price that you have been quoted. Will the company offer hosting? Is the price competitive? And most importantly of all, is the price you were quoted the price you will eventually be expected pay?
Brand loyalty online is firmly built on excellence, customers will not tolerate poorly managed sites with cumbersome layouts and poor load times. If you want to dazzle prospective clients with a grand introduction displaying ‘flash’ technology bear in mind that this can come at a cost. Customers will begrudgingly queue up in a shop to buy an item, but you can be sure that they will not afford you the same courtesy online.
