We took over this Mother of the bride site recently to give it a spring clean, re-design and re-organise the pages and linking.
Initially we looked at the search results and have made a significant difference to the ranking for their key terms. Over the past couple of weeks we have been adding the new seasons [...]
We launched a new website yesterday for a charming couple, John and Carole, who breed alpacas at their farm in Siston in Bristol. The site is not yet completed, changes are still ongoing and more content is coming in. We are all hoping that given the impetus of a new site we can speed up [...]
When I wrote my list of Counties in the UK post I had no idea about the number of hits it would have.
For a recent web design project I was looking for a list of UK counties. No problem, I thought, the internet is a wonderful place, bound to find something.
How wrong can you be? Lots of lists, but none of them complete and most out of date. Spent far too long looking and eventually had to [...]
Astonishingly easy and painless!
For such a major upgrade, giving a totally new look admin, it was much easier that previous releases (2.6) and gave no problems at all.

I’ll certainly be one of the downloaders, it’s a much better browser than IE. If you feel [...]
How does it work?
The following is a little simplistic but in essence shows how hosting works. Your website will be held on a machine with a fast connection to the internet. That machine is identified through it’s ip address. When you type in to your browser www.yourdomain.com the protocol used will look up the [...]
It’s a confusing business this, when you’re thinking of having a website for the first time. There are so many things you’ve never heard of and a Domain Name is just one of them. In this post I’ll try to explain what it is, what it does and how, what it will give you [...]
I make efforts to get relevant and established sites to link to me, and I approach some that I think my visitors may be interested in.
Why then do I receive so many pointless mass emails asking imaker to link to them in return for a very poor reciprocal link. Always on the look-out for [...]
