The internet is our portal to topics as diverse as they are numerous and as the popularity of new media continues to grow, so does the importance of generating a form of online presence for any business hoping to stay competitive in their industry. Obviously some industries appear to lend themselves more to creating a website and using the internet as a marketing and sales tool whilst in other trades the exercise may seem less of a priority. A graphic design company for instance would be foolish to ignore the marketing power of the internet in terms of generating interest, showcasing previous work and possibly even as a means of expanding their services to such areas of website design. A PVC strip curtain manufacturer however may seem to be less of a web-worthy business: this is however very far from the case.

With the rise of the search engine and home pc has come a whole new culture when it comes to finding information, a person, a business, a product...pretty much anything and everything. The repercussions of this are far-reaching. Whilst previously face to face networking or an advert in the Yellow Pages or a local publication, in conjunction with a reputation built on word of mouth would be enough to stay ahead of the game locally in manufacturing or contractor based work: the internet has skewed this. Online directories and banner adverts have usurped listings in paper directories and local advertising, whilst link building, social networking and online promotion are beginning to influence networking and word of mouth reputation development.

Given these changes to the way in which even companies with small marketing budgets promote themselves it is incredibly important that companies in all trades and industries, whether large or small, consider the benefits of having their own website. Growth in business is heavily reliant upon addressing progression, trends and development. Not only does a website serve as an advert, it can be used to sell products directly, keep suppliers, distributors or customers informed and act as means of communication.

Returning to the PVC strip curtains example particularly: a website not only showcases the various items they stock and gives product details (at a lower cost than having a brochure designed, printed and posted) but with the use of SEO it also allows them to reach potential customers not only locally but nationally. The cost of the website is cancelled out after a few orders- which may well themselves have originated as a result of their having a website. Quite simply, a website serves as an additional storefront, an advert, a communication line, a brochure and a cash register all in one attractive, publically accessible package.

We're pleased to announce that we've been commissioned to create a brand new website for promising young racing driver Alex Walker.

Alpine Racing, the company promoting Alex, chose us to design & develop the website and we're excited to start work straight away on the site. Our design team will be getting their thinking caps on in order to produce some stunning visuals worthy of Alex's potential. The next Lewis Hamilton? He's certainly in with a good chance.

Alex began Karting in the cadet class and was 2nd in the British Championship in 2007. He also was the 2007 Kartmasters Grand Prix champion. In 2008 he was the TVKC club champion in KF3, and in 2008 he was 6th in Formula Karting Stars. Alex is run by Williams Motorsport.

We would like to post a big thank you to two of our London clients (you know who you are)

The trip was very successful and it was a pleasure to finally meet them both. We came away with lots of ideas for their websites and search engine optimisation for this coming year and are looking forward to a successful continued relationship.

2010? That's so ummm futuristic. At least it seemed that way a decade or so ago. Time really does fly quick doesn't it. After all, when Stanley Kubrick made his film "2001: A Space Odyssey", it was set in a time far, far away, but now we've moved on even further ahead!

We're full of energy and enthusiasm about the future here, and we're packed full of new ideas, new projects and a new commitment to deliver the very best that we can.

We hope you all had a fantastic 2009, and wish everyone the very best for the new decade.

For something to ponder, give a thought to this. We've had the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and we've just moved out of the noughties. However, what will we name the current decade?  The tensies? The teensies? Answers on a postcard :) We just can't decide here.
