10th January 2009
Local companies often ask me about what we can do for them and generally tell them to have a look at a couple of other Essex based company websites we have done recently and see how well they appear in the searches for them
 
This includes
Newhaven roofing is only 1 month old and not 100% complete but already ranks number 2 for the search term ‘essex roofing’
Manorway autos are the 5th choice in the whole of essex for ‘car repairs essex’
Essex Steam Cleaning feature 7 times (including number 1 and 2 position) on one page of Google results for ‘essex steam cleaning’
They feature for their own website and then for other directories that they feature in, this is organic search only and not the Paid for Searches !
These sites are under 3 months old so a good example of what can be achieved
31st December

4th November
Have recently begun a Photography Ecommerce project that is a very interesting project as ecommerce is normally single items added to a shopping card but the standard features of an ecommerce solution are not dynamic enough to enable photographer’s clients to navigate through multiple galleries of photos from weddings and other events.
We have decided to implement a dynamic solution and our newest photography ecommerce site will be designed specifically for photography and will be the perfect sales solution for selling photos online. Allowing the administrator total control of the online shop where they can control the size, medium and cost of photos offered, The Galleries can be password protected and will feature an auto watermarking function for uploaded photos. There will be an administration section to the website that keeps track of galleries, orders, statistics and even reports how many galleries are online with the number of images uploaded as well as monthly / yearly sales
 
3rd November
We have now updated our website design software to Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4. The new version of Adobe Dreamweaver is much improved on the CS4 version. in particular a new feature called ‘InContext Editing’ allows you to create content managed pages from within Dreamweaver, this is really impressive. We shall start building this into our sites as an added bonus to our clients allowing them to update their own pages, when they choose.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 launched
Google Chrome Browser updated
Google Launched their own browser ‘Chrome’ that we started using from the launch day, First impressions is that its very good and has a nice clean look to it, will be a long time before we hang up our Firefox browser though as it has so many plug-ins available for it that makes it invaluable for SEO work.
