Slideshows are a great way of displaying banner ads and promotions on your website. I have used a variety of Joomla slideshows in the past but the one I keep on coming back to is the Hot Effects Rotator module.

Guide to Wordpress Blogging

Wordpress is great for blogging. There are a couple of reasons for this but the main one is the ease at which you can add an article. It is very user friendly, easy to navigate and easy to learn how to use. In this blog I will outline how to upload an article, add links, images and media and add SEO attributes like page titles, descriptions and keywords.

We are very close to launching what I like to call our “Glasses Revolution”.  An E-commerce website that will bring affordable prescription glasses to every door in Ireland.  So, in the spirit of all things E-commerce I have decided to make a list of all the essential elements that you need to make a successful E-commerce website.  So, here we go!

Since we started trading as Organic SEO Specialists we have been inundated with requests for our SEO services.

A trend we have noticed with companies is that they want a new website alongside our SEO services.

This is due to a number of factors and I will ouline the 3 main ones:

1)    Their old website is of poor quality.
2)    They want to update their website themselves.
3)    Their website is not SEO friendly and needs to be re-designed to perform better in search engines.

We are more than happy to facilitate customers who want a new website.  We have an in-house team of Joomla and Wordpress designers who can custom build websites of all descriptions. Our SEO and webdesign package is for customers who want the following websites:

•    Corporate Web sites or portals
•    Corporate intranets and extranets
•    Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
•    E-commerce and online reservations
•    Government applications
•    Small business Web sites
•    Non-profit and organizational Web sites
•    Community-based portals
•    School and church Web sites
•    Personal or family homepages

We use content management systems so they our customers can update their blogs and news themselves. This allows our clients to take control of their. It also means that they don’t have a to pay a designer a fee every time they want to update the website.

You can see examples of our webdesign at NK Management – Ireland’s leading agency celebrities like Ryan Tubrity. Another example of our webdesign is Video Me – Wedding videography from leading Irish videographer Cyril Fox.  Contact us today to find out more information about our website design services.

When Cyril from Video Me first contacted us his website was not getting traffic organically and he was concerned that there was no increase in visitors across a long period of time. We undertook an analysis of the website to determine why there was such poor level of traffic. After an analysis we determined that the majority of the textual content was contained in Flash. This meant that search engines were not indexing the text. There was one URL in the site that was not SEO friendly, which was not good for the SEO value of the website. The combination of these issues was leading to the website performing poorly in search engines.

We set about developing a strategy for Video Me to increase traffic and promote their website online. The first step was to change the Flash website into a CMS website. This enabled the website to be more SEO friendly and gave Cyril creative control over the content. We created a stylish slideshow at the top of the website to contain images and text that linked through to landing pages. Content was developed and Keyword research helped to optimise text, Meta Tags, URLs and Images throughout the website.

We created both a booking form and check availability form for the website. These forms help encourage visitors to contact Video Me. Calls to action like these are important for any website. We developed social media identities using Facebook, YouTube, LinekIn, Weedle and Blogger identities. The next stage of the development for Video Me is to create a dedicated blog website.

Traffic and inquires on the Video Me website have risen steadily since we developed the new website. The combined effort of the new website, social media identities and SEO techniques have given Video Me a platform to grow online. We look forward to the launch of their blog website in October. So, watch this space for the new Video Me blog.
