Search Engine Optimisation

The little green man is Paul - he will be optimising your website todayWe are offering a new search engine optimisation service to enhance the number and quality of people visiting your site by improving your success in relevant organic search listings (Google etc). 


There have been some changes in this area recently and that is why it is even more important that certain things are done correctly.

Unlike some companies who will promise you the earth, give artificial guarantees and look for monthly fees, we simply have a one off fee to bring your site up to the latest SEO standards for content and structure and give you the highest chance of good rankings for relevant searches.

The fee depends on the size of your site but most can be optimised starting from as little as £180 depending on the size and scope of the job.

If you would like to find out more or discuss how we could enhance your search listing and increase visitors to your site, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Blogging with Google Docs

Testing out publishing to our blog using Google Docs!  Who'dve thought it could do that?!

With image support to boot!

Although Google Docs isn't a patch on Windows Live Writer as a blogging tool, there don't seem to be very many decent blogging clients for the Apple Mac platform - and fewer still which are free.  In lieu of a Windows Live Writer for Mac I think that Google Docs might be the solution we've been looking for to allow Mac users to write sexier posts!

There are a few limitations however such as:

  • Although image resizing is available in the interface it just squashes the original image rather than resizing it into a smaller file. This could catch out some users.
  • There is no facility to open posts previously posted to a blog by other users.
  • No support for Alt tags on images.
  • No support for tagging of posts, snippets and other familiar blog features (Google Docs is a word processor after all).

Overall, the WYSIWYG interface, rich text tools and good (albeit not perfect) support of images make this a tool which is significantly better than other free blogging tools on the Mac platform.
