Today we are proud to unveil our relaunched website. With what seems like an eternity in development (but more like months) the new BHL.co.uk comes complete with all the whistles and bells that we could think of – more on these later.
OK, where to start. I supppose the first thing you’ll notice about the site is the new, fresh design complete with a new logo. The new site we feel is easier on the eye than its predecessor, each page has been considered and designed with great care and attention to detail.

Our old site had become a victim of its own success. Increased traffic at times had brought the site to its knees. Recieving such an amount of visitors, we have engineered the new site to cope with such heavy demands using various methods. The new site has worked well under test conditions and seems a lot quicker and snappier.
One of the things we didnt want to do with a relauched website was the same as. Of course we wanted a big inventory and a faster site but we wanted to offer our customers a greater insight into both the products that they are interested in and the Plumbing industry as a whole.
As such the new site has some features that we are really excited about. One of the things we wanted to do with the new site was to integrate the great volume of information we possess with the products that we sell. So we have integrated our News & Articles and Blog and Forum posts into the site therefore enabling our customers and readers the opportunity to make informed decisions about the products they plan to buy.
In addition to increasing our inventory (the new site is over 3 times larger than it’s predecessor) we have improved the way products are displayed including increased technical information and links (where available) to media such as Videos.
We wanted our customers and readers an opportunity to keep in touch with us through a whole host of media. Social Media such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube enables us to spread the word on promotions and offers, the latest plumbing news and reviews as well as product launches and news from within BHL. Subscribers to our feeds can benefit by being the first to receive product information or heads up on Special Offers. We are also working on creating Discount Codes, some of which will be specifically for our followers.
But this is only Phase 1. Never one to rest on our laurels, we are already beavering away on Phase 2 – and Phase 2 will have some revolutionary new features that we are really excited about. Keep checking back to learn more.
A big thank you to all involved in helping make our new site a reality.
