Staff at Citygate Volkswagen are celebrating after receiving a national annual award.
Citygate Volkswagen, which has retailers in Little Chalfont, Colindale, High Wycombe, Ruislip and Watford, has been given the multi-franchised dealer Website of the Year award by Car Dealer magazine.
The retailer beat off a number of other competitors to drive away with the accolade.
Citygate Volkswagen’s website manager, Jade-Elise Brookes-Read, said:
“At Citygate we realise the digital world is instrumental to our business and it is often our customers’ first point of call.
“It’s great news that we’ve being recognised for our work and we’re always looking at improving. At the moment we’re in the process of developing an update to the website which will deliver even better facilities for our customers.”
The website certainly caught the eye of e-wards judge Alex Knight of Progress Automotive. He said: “The key to this site’s success is a very clean design and a clear navigational path through to key customer action areas.
“I really liked the new car configuration options and finance calculators, and it’s topped off by a very smart mobile website to cater for browsers on the move.”
Another judge, James Tew, of Webzation commented:
“Citygate has always demonstrated a forward thinking approach with its web strategy.
“It clearly sees the company’s website as a fundamental part of the business. In addition to new and used vehicles the site is also a shopfront for the fleet and servicing arms. The site is both informative and rich with content.”
